Making your own animated series can be a real struggle without a consistent schedule. In this video, I share my experience developing my animation schedule and how you can do the same!

I feel like I needed to watch this. I am the worst when it comes to planning😞🙄
I’ve been practicing animation for 2 years (it took that long because I’m self taught)
And now I’m starting to plan out what I want, after planning I’m gonna sketch out what I want in my notebook.
This may take months, or even a whole year, so patience is key.
Break up your animation schedule, if you’re tired, take a break. Because if you’re tired it’s not gonna look good.
Story board is especially important. Make sure you know what you want and how you want it.
How is your animation learning and creating the animated series coming along? I am new at animation, but I've been drawing for a while now and lately i got this idea to animate one (eventually more) of my stories i have written. Interested in learning more about the process 😃
I created an animated series called My Girlfriend Wants To Kill Me. It's a Psychological thriller. The first two seasons are on my UA-cam channel. I've also created another animated series called Her Blood On My Hands. It's a ton of creative work and so many don't understand the time that's put into them. I've learned that when I release one episode a month it allows me no burnouts.
For a second I thought this was a joke and this was about you and your life
No offence
@@peanuthead4049 - ngl, I did too
i thought he was joking XD
Omg! I have watched my girlfriend wants to kill me! Its so good!
Me to I'm barely in season 2
How2 Plan Your Animated Series:
1) Experiment: Develop a workflow that works for your current situation.
2) Be Realistic: Don't overwork yourself and make sure to implement breaks in your schedule.
3) Overcome Obstacles: Work through your troublesome artist moments to meet your schedule requirements and boost your confidence in your abilities.
I got it at the end.
Thank you
ok
I'm so glad I found this channel, I've been hoping to make an animated series called "Elemental". Unfortunately I'm only 14 and I've only just begun learning to use a drawing tablet. These vides however are really helping me out.
I’m making one called Elementrix, the cosmic battles
@@sneaky_gaming3217 That sounds awesome, I hope for the best for you and your series.
@@MarieKoyalebo Thank you! At the moment its basically just concept arts since im waiting for my drawing pad to arrive.
@@sneaky_gaming3217 Concept Art is still a good start! You must be excited to receive your tablet.
@@MarieKoyalebo I sure am! 😂
I love the whole concept of animation but I never felt like I was creative enough to do so🙁I’m currently an animation major but I doubt myself sometime. I love your content though. I wish I found you sooner
im the same i cant stop doubting myself. I wish that kind of stuff came naturally for me but even if the doubt is valid i think we just have to fight through it and work harder bc doubting is just what can hold us back from great outcomes
Caleb Harris we can do it!!☺️
Yo shoot doubt in the face and just be great
Stop the self-doubt and just GO! You'll be amazed at what you'll create.
@Netball Friends I would love to but I’m not too experienced in it. I have a lot to learn
I'm working on an animated series , and so far , i thought i was good. I thought i was a genius.
But after watching your videos , i realize i've did everything wrong !
I've never really planned anything ! Not even animatics or even storyboards. I've did 3 episodes of my show in 2 months , i was fustrated and rushed most of it. Looking back at it and i've just realised made a not really good series , it was full of errors , it didn't look good , it wasn't how i meant it to be , it wasn't even close to the actual "script". It was just a mess...
And now , watching your videos explaining me how to plan it and how to do it , i feel like i need to improve alot.
I got to thank you so much or else my stuff would keep being garbage.
Oh btw i love your series , it's cool :3
It's called Bunnytos , it's on my channel.
I might have a little ‘odd’ schedule for my animated serie. It’s my big passion project and I decided to start with writing the entire script. I’m not joking, 50 pages for each episode completely written out and it took me approximately 17 months (I’m almost done). I varied my work by making some character sheets here and there and that schedule really worked for me. So excited to finally writing the end!
Also it was really cool to see my comment on part 1 in this video. Keep up the good work👍
Im a producer, do u need some music done for it?
@@oscar8234 Would be way too early honestly. Animating didn’t go very well so I’m just making two books from it at the moment. Maybe someday a cartoon show with music, but I don’t see that happen very quickly😅
I’m trying to create pieces of different episodes so I can do a trailer but I have to wait because I didn’t copyright my characters yet.
@@Crazilynormal89 I thought that once you create something original it is automatically protected by copyright laws
@@lfamvs5520 i didn’t know that I thought i would have to do that it’s just i want to protect my stuff because people would steal my stuff and they get all the credit.
I am making a Animated series It's called Mystery journal
Where are you posting it?
Sounds mysterious
Maybe we should collaborate I’m almost done writing my first episode script
That’s awesome Valerie! Reminds me of Gravity Falls!!
Kevin Luna yep
Great vid as always
Its really Nice to see someone talk about the struggles, rather than Just when things Go right.
Subscribed. I've been trying to convince myself to start this animated series idea I had but had no idea how. I came across one of your videos a week ago. It lit my ambition to go for it by learning the art. Came across this video today ( watched 4 after ), decided to learn from your beginning and I cant wait to see how you finish this series to the end. Thanks bud.🤙
If you want a software that is good to practice on, I recommend Krita.
I draw frame by frame animations and the animation tools are better than photoshop. Krita isn't top-notch in the slightest, but you can organize and save presets, change timing, uses the same system as Premiere for home-End and page up and down keys, exports well, free forever, easy to open up and start, tons of help, and more. Plus Krita runs as well as your computer. Krita won't "limit your creativity" with a subscription. It is free and open-source.
I would give it a shot.
I know this kinda sounds like a commercial... it isn't. It is just a good starting place if you are stuck on ideas.
Did you start your animated series idea? 😊 Just curious how it's coming along
i just got done planning my animated series. its gonna be about three teens who have powers, one has ice powers, one can control rocks, and one can make anything that comes to his mind as long as its nonliving. anyways, this guy named Sinthos is their enemy, because Sinthos wants to take their powers away with his dark magic. I still haven't thought of a name for the series yet. the script for the first episode is in progress :)
That sounds amazing! How’s it going?
So a magical girl/boy series EEEE YESS
That's such a great story👌👌
It's gonna be on Netflix
Castle dark seems interesting. I will watch episode 1 the day it comes out
I’m actually working on a show with a team of about ten. We really want this show to do well.
Oh cool, what is it about?
@@MelisaMunroewe will never know.
This channel is helping me out a lot! Thanks for the great content!
Im at the young age of 11 years old, i have been thinking of creating an animation named "My 7 Qualities Of Life" its kinda similar to the Inside Out movie though most of the characters are more of the main characters personality and not the emotions. Its based on my personality and everyday experiences. I just wanted to know if any problems were in the way before i had tried to create it. Though i am ambitious and will try to push myself to complete this goal, i will try my best to succeed my wanting. Thanks for advice! 🙂
Did you start on this idea yet? 😊
I can help with it! I’m also at the same age and can help (with animation too)
I have a series I've been planning since 10th grade, The series is called Liam Laboriosi. The original name waw the Adventures of Benjamin and, its a Coming Age Story. But I'm writing this as a pilot for show with 2 episodes, and the length of 44 minutes. The series follows Liam a 15 year old kid going on a journey to save his home town from a overpopulation problem. There's more to the story and the lore but right now that's all the pilot would cover
Thank you for this tutorial. I think it helped me get motivated to plan my series.
I'm making an animated series, it's called, The Breadcrumb Diaries. I'm developing the early stages of the rough designs for my show. I've been working on it for months and I still have a long way to go. I'll admit I'm the first person to be hyper critical of my own work, especially when it comes to the art. I just tell myself that perfectionism is the killer of progress. I have to keep going. Thanks for posting another awesome and insightful video. I'm really taking everything that I've learned to heart. Now back to work, lol.
I scraped the idea of making an animated show about a team making a TV show, i was gonna call it "GREENLIT", i gave up on that idea but i do have other animated show ideas,
So if you wanna steal the idea of "GREENLIT", then here you go
Good work, did you make even more progress on it in this year since posting this comment? I am interested in the process of making an animated tv show or movie, and i have several stories written and some characters drawn from them too. Learning to animate now.
@@MariJadeWrites Hello! This is a very late reply to your comment, but I would have to say, I've made very little progress. A lot of things happened this year, but I'm still very much invested in creating an animated series. My biggest progress would have to be gathering a small team of voice actors to fill the roles.
@@EchoPenn i see hope you can get your series done eventually! Good luck gathering a team to help you out 😊
I've been wanting to make animated series for a while but what was stoping me is literally me cuz i suffer from depression and alot of selfdoubt it sucks
Anyway cool video also wanted to share my animated series called Crooked a story about a robot child being raised by criminals and such still a WIP
Im working on creating an anime and this is helping me out getting everything sorted, the name will be "prophecy of fire and ice" or "world of elements" but the main idea is a fantasy anime with a conflicting protagonist
Good stuff man. I’ve been producing an animated series for years and the way you break stuff down is solid. A really good easy to understand video for those thinking about diving into this. All the best to finishing and releasing yours!
Ever since I was little I loved stories and soon i started started creating my own stories in my head, I would design characters and build worlds around them but I knew I wasn’t the best at putting nice and neat sentences together so instead I decided to make them animated. Now this is funny bc I have zero animation experience but that’s okay bc I have plenty of time to learn. I just need to get all of my ideas down and organized and fantasizing about them in my head. :)
Me too!
Sameee!
I've been working on a fantasy series called Respiritgina. I was looking for tips on how to make a schedule and this really helps me out! I'm so glad I found your channel dude, you make some really good stuff.
Great video as always Sebastian !!!
I am a 14 year old animator and i just started in December. Your videos are inspiring me more and more! Thank you!!!!
I have to comment about how comforting you have made me feel in this and last video. feels like you're actually speaking to me as a mentor or something
Ya, it’s weird to comment on old vids, but I’m making a series called Woodlands and this is helping a lot!!! I hope your series went well. Knowing u, it probably did!
I’m so excited to start planning my project!! I’ve been thinking about it since 2021, but I’ve been actually working on it and planning since around November 2023!
Great advice, man- really impressive especially considering how underrated this is. Your structure and way of explaining is really easy to understand and the editing is great! Hope to see you get the attention you deserve sometime in the future.
One day (about three now almost four years ago ) i just got random insperation for a story only being like 10-11 i used gacha club to make my character designs (some of the fandom may be trash but not all of it dont be afraid to use the app) and i guess i just never stopped working on it i have a lot of the plot figured out in my head but i have yet to right most of it down ive been watching these kinds of videos to help me get started. So thank you!
Amazing video, this really inspired me! The thing is that for me the animating is the "easy" bit, the hard bit for me is creating a storyline. I tend to just rewrite it a thousand times until I get sick of the story and start to doubt the whole thing and want to start again and just throw the whole original concept away! Unfortunately I'm just incredibly bad at making storylines but I'm trying my best to keep working at it and maybe oneday I'll have one that I'm happy with.....
This is encouraging, thank you! I've been wanting to learn how to animate for a long time and I'm finally starting to make plans to do it.
I'm making a series called Lost about my fursona, the casting call is out right now! Your really helpful, thanks!
Caro Animates I just subscribed to you! I'll start with my series soon. Good luck! 🌟❤️
Thank you, I've enjoyed part one and two. I've been animating since 2015 and created my series, not giving up trying to make myself known.
i dont even have the slightest semblance of an idea for the name of my animation, but my sibling and i want to create an entire show. really glad i found your account, i can tell its going to help a lot!
I have spent 4 years creating characters and plot, I’ve always wanted to make it a series. Watching this help me realize, it will take time, but if I have my story layed out,planned,and decided, then I will be able to make the series eventually
I’ve spent 4 years just learning to animate lol
@@DoggoDoesStuff lol XD
I’m working on a show myself and just started story boarding! I do not know what it’s called yet but I love my concept so far and have been watching you videos as motivation to keep going! I’m gonna also try the schedule thing because I never really thought about that!
Yellow_Olive can’t wait to see it! Hopefully!
I’m gonna try to make an animated series ( or anime? )
I have animated before and I know it takes sooooooooooo looooonnnnggggggggggg to finish atleast a 2 minute animation, so wish me luck
Anyways my animated series is called StarFall Island
Ima try to compose my own music for it
For now me and my friend are probably gonna try voice acting ( I’m going to hopefully make a pilot episode to then get some voice actors for people who are interested and liked the pilot episode and want to help in voice acting )
Edit: also basically all the characters are cats, there are no humans on the island
( maybe also bc I can’t draw humans very good XD )
That sounds awesome! I look forward to seeing it. I came here because I was thinking of starting one too! Best of luck.
Whre do you compose the music?
Some app or real world instruments?
@@smartart6841 I was thinking garage band and possibly also the keyboard I have
@@littlelaurenadventures7388 whats garageband
I hope you do more of these. I love the info and your execution.
I really like the idea of creating an animated series, I'm working on the characters and rough draft for a independent project, so watching this video really helped :)
This really motivated me to start my animated series! I have casted some voice actors and I am nearly done with the first episode! I'm so excited!
Thank you your videos helped me to finally start doing SOMETHING related to animation and get up and actually work.
Beautiful animation and great tips! I am starting my own animated series as well so i've been looking around for other creators! So happy i stumbled upon your channel!
Thank you very much man, I watch your videos randomly but they are VERY helping.
And my reason to create/animate is that I let go of my problems
Dang I just watched both Episode one and two and this was the first thing recomended to me and I am just getting started. Thank you so much!!!
This. I needed this. I plan to open my own production studio I’ll be sure to come to this video again. The crazy thing about my first series I have the characters I have the conflict but I don’t have the plot. I’m not sure how my main character should combat the antagonist... I avoided making side characters for my main character besides her mother because again I need the plot.
No matter what this video has helped me to keep thinking. Thank you please don’t stop making videos until your series is streaming!
I'm currently working on cleaning up the script for a show I've been working on since 2017 (on and off, since I was in highschool at the time) about a duo of highschool theatre performers dealing with the mystery of the ghosts that haunt the theatre. These videos are really helpful as I'm getting into the later stages of planning. I think I've decided to go with something I can feasibly do on my own -- which is making it semi-animated, so like a webcomic, that's animated in places so it feels completely animated, but something I can realistically do.
Totally feel you on this, I have been hyping my series for the last 2 years and daam is hard to do it alone!
I loved the ending. Thank you for your help.
Daaaaaaamn! I’m so excited for this to come out.! When I was watching the storyboard I fell for the characters! I’m making my own series soon on a different channel. I don’t know what to call it tho lol
Thank you so much for this!!!!
As a novice animator who’s been animating for about a decade, I definitely have dreams of making my own animated series one day!
However, I don’t feel I’m really at a point where I can safely (or at least, confidently) start a multi-episodic story driven cartoon. That being said, I’m not giving up on that dream! Instead, I’m working on smaller one off projects as animation tests and practice, and I have four main projects I’m planning on working on! Each one being a bit more challenging than the last!
Currently, I’m just working on a compilation of stop-motion/2.5D/multimedia animation clips featuring me (or, my avatar) and one of my Autobot Bumblebee toys! It’s nothing too fancy in the grand scheme of things, but I am using this project to experiment with a new hybrid animation style, which obviously will make the project more difficult, but I got the first clip all done, so I’m working to get the rest all done hopefully by April! (I originally was pushing for March, but I’m not quite done yet!)
But anyway, thanks again so much for this video!!!💖💖💖💖💖
I’m definitely coming back to it when I’m ready to make my original series!
I love your videos and I relate to how you feel about cartoon and thanks for teaching me
Im working on my own animated series and i've been binging your video's, Thank You!
Thank you so much! My son is working on his first animated series and the 2 videos we've watched so far have given us some great direction! 🤩
The name????
Wow i learned alot in this video since the first vid, especially the schedule one. Thanks lad
Great video man, I’m literally about to embark on an animated short that may become the basis for a series so it really is helpful
My series started as a way for me to make my own stories but as both of us have gotten older and as I went through a really rocky time in my life recently it has become more of a vent for myself and my frustrations for the world. I recently looked back at the original notes and compared them to my recents and I was like “ damn that’s gotten dark over time..”. So yeah what I’m partially trying to say is allow space for change and twists in the story. You never know what can happen next. And your story will definitely develop or change as you progress.
This year marks 4 years since I wrote the original notes and character/world concepts. Still haven’t gotten more than a minute or twos script done for the first ep and I haven’t even got any solid concepts other that writing.
For me I want to create a animated series called "Power Gem Heroes"
Where 10 teens who are all 13 find these gems that give them powers . There friend group is diverse (Black, Mexican, White, Canadian, British, Australian, Columbian, Chinese, Indian, Indonesian) and they all live in a apartment neighborhood, I also wanted to make it 13+ for bloody fights and maybe swearing. The powers that the gems hold are like the types of pokemon but not all of them and I came up with some custom moves that are not from pokemon, but the powers are Fire, Water, Electric, Ice, Plant, Earth, Flying, Fighting, Psychic, and a custom one called Music. I also want to create a story instead of just being heroes defeating villains.
Some episodes they be fighting crimes and some they just be chilling
Honestly through this video i was just destraced with how much his tv-drawing skills have improved
I’m making a whole movie (haven’t quite thought of a name yet), this really helps thank you ❤️
This is super helpful! I was thinking about making an animated short "tree of wonders" it's about three adventurers who go on adventures stacking up kindness points wich the tree of wonder lives on because the tree of wonders gives life to their village! So this really helped alot with scheduling and all
For most of my life I was drawing, I stopped after I realised I didn’t feel I was improving, I now see that that was because I didn’t take it seriously enough. That was 5 years ago. Now I’m 18 and I’m realising how much time I’ve wasted in becoming an artist which was my dream for so long. I’m here, I’m back. I watched keep your hands off eizouken, now I’m just feeling my dream wanting to be reality.
Thnx bro. I’m trying to make an anime and this could help me a lot.
i am a kid i am 8 and my dream is too become a animator with 2d stick figures but i have only done 1% of my dream :( and you inspired me ❤️ so thank you
Im making a series now, and watching all your videos is really helping, sorry this was late!
This'll help a lot with both my shows. Thanks!
I am also happy I found this channel. I needed to hear this
I really want to thank you i have been very strained with burn out even some times falling asleep at my desk but this helped me so much now i draw 2 hours a day
tbh, u seriously need to give us more of these cuz it helped me focus on doing my comic
you are having the same process and conclusions as me ._.
I want to make a animation because when I look at anime or anything animated makes me smile makes me happy gets me away from reality for a little while , so I wanted to make my own anime story to make other people happy make me happy because I love drawing so much and if people love seeing it and are happy and smile , that’s all I need in life 😊
This is great info! Thank you so much!
I have been a story writer for a long time. I decided about a year and a half ago to move that to a 3D animated series. I can do 3D design , 3D printing, ect. Well rounded when it comes to audio effects, visual and other forms of media but I have never made an animated series. Let alone a 3D one. What a learning curve. Also, my fan fiction writings that I pined everything on was based around a video game from the 80's and was an amazing achievement at the time as it was the FIRST 3D animation game ever. Today it is a free flowing world with 5 Billion places to visit and discover. And I chose to make an animation based on that. Wow, what was I thinking. So , I crammed as much knowledge from what I already knew with a healthy dose of new softwares, (Various types) free 3D tools, ect, to get where I am now. I have a release date of 2021 and only started this 8 months ago. Wish me luck. AND thanks for a great video!
I actually have a good idea and a semi storyboard. I just don't know how to draw or animate yet. Or at least I thought I did, honestly now I am thinking of starting over now... thank you for the video I noticed how much I haven't been consistent and need to refocus my ideas and story
Wow this one is so nice at least I understand how I can start planning on my animated series
I just got inspire from this .
And i am working on the first episodes of my series
I’m terrible at deadlines, I needed this 🤧👌🏻
While i know the basics of animation, I could never stick with it, but now my boss at work wants me to start animating the mascot characters, and it makes me really nervous, but ill definitely be using your videos for help!
IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!
I'm creating an animated series, and it's getting pretty cool, I haven't decided on the name yet but for now I call it " Spider Mage, the animated series ".
I am trying to create an animated series called Smokin' and Sleepin' and this was a big help. Thank you
Thank you so much this video was so helpful. I’m working on an animated series and this helped me so much
Thank you for advice to wrote how much spent time each day to creating animation. For not I'm not planning animation, but I'm learn how to draw better and that's help me a lot. Sometimes I have day that I don't do much but I'm trying and I see effects. Maybe I will try animate someting, but not to soon.
Animation. I in process. I'm learning how to put light and shadows in right place
Amazing, thank you, I really need it
You seem like a humble guy God bless you may he exalt you
Like Sleepy Pup, I've been thinking of a show but I had a struggle. Thx for the vid!
I’m am making a animated series called dippy and John it’s going to be like old school Disney cartoons
Cool
That sounds like a lot of work. Frame by frame animation is rough
Found your channel recently. You do good stuff. Keep it up!
Thank you Sebastien 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks man! Amazing video!
keep making more its super helpful for me to get motivated
I’m planning on making a series called The Glovebox’s: Travelling Merchants! But I’m planning on using mixed mediums like classic animation, and tweening animation. But I don’t have good platforms, have to deal with school and limited screen time. I suck at making good backgrounds and have really bad commitment issues. But I’m at least going to try. Even if I never get the first episode out I’ll still have the experience
Ty for ur advice... Keep grinding
I've been trying to do Hessia the Series. Thank you for this, I bump into too much creative block. You know me too much-
I been practicing to make a comics on character which I accidentally make
And you just very much inspired to create it
Hey! thank you for making this video! I'm planing to make my own youtube series but it's not going to be animated! maybe it will but I'm just creating the story for now! I have many masks for the project I'm planing! but the video helped me anyway because when I used to make 3D animations so I worked so hard on it without giving myself any rest.
I hope to see episode 3 I really love this series but feel it deserves so much better in views and I hope to see it continue
