I'm gonna weigh in on this personally since I have indie animation experience. I made a short film around 18 mins long called Graveyard Shift, that took me around 3 years from beginning to end. I did everything except professional sound mixing and a few voices. I feel rewarded by the experience, but my advice for a pilot is to animate the cold open or act 1 of your pilot. Going right for the sports car will leave you stuck for years in the mines of animation and there were numerous occasions when I wanted to quit. Start small. Try to get people involved. Don't be a hero. And make sure to plan your script and GET FEEDBACK from people you trust to be honest. Blowing smoke helps nobody. You need to check your ego at the door and make sure that script is as razor sharp as possible to reduce rewrites and alternate takes.
Advice I 100% agree with and will utilize. Gotta take it from someone who’s done it. Also, it’s quite cool to know you created a pilot. Animation is hard, as well as sound effects, VAs, etc etc. Gonna check out Graveyard shift in a min, sounds eerie
I'm also pretty young, and I've also wanted to develop stuff like this. All I can say is KEEP GOING! Whatever you make, it's gonna be awesome! Use your creativity in any and every way you can! NEVER GIVE UP!
Dude when i was 7 i made my first two ocs and now my stories are literally what i think about nonstop on a daily basis and i REAALLLLY want to make them true. Im trying to get educated on this subject as soon as possible and rhis video helped a lot.
I’ve had a concept for a bit now. It’s the old times in Paris maybe Rome . The main character is a bounty hunter/thief who is quite the ladies man. His costume in kinda theatrical. Based n a cat, Dress shirt and paints with the puffy sleeves, a long cape, fabric tail, leather ears, a a mascarade cat mask .You’ve really given me inspiration to start this now. Thanks man. Also, your improbable face had me rolling
LOVEE how you're going with an "old times" style. It's usually used for historical themes, so I love where this is going!! I literally ADORE the "hunter that has rizz" and the cat aspect, since cats can be quite sly or quiet, but are also popular and loved in different ways. Can't wait to see how this plays out! glgl!
Helpppppppp I forgot abt this video. My pilot is going well now! The story has changed a crap ton but it’s much better and I’ll have the trailer out in about a month. I’ve gotten a music composer and going to publish a casting call after the trailer. I’ve got high hopes for this thing and think it could actually do well as long as the UA-cam algorithm doesn’t kill me
I'm part of the Object Show Community, so my characters won't be the same, but the fandom is strongly built around making indie shows. I have quite a lot together. The characters, story, heck, even what I want my pilot to have! But my weakness mostly is the animation. While I can and have prided myself on my fluidity, lipsync and small details, I get burnout really easily unless I have real motivation. I doubt anything will come out soon, but I'm still going to try.
Ngl I don't know what the os community is, but I love indie shows so definitely gonna search that up later. I wish you good luck with working on motivation. That stuff's a real struggle. If it helps, you can always watch cool animated content before you continue your own work, as it can sometimes make you go "alright time to join them in the big leagues/I wanna be like them" That's just me, though. glgl!
@@2weird2be The OSC isn't the biggest community, but it's really been having some amazing content recently. I do recommend watching a show or two. Some larger ones have teams, but most are one or a few people. I hope you find some good gems if you're looking through some shows.
this helps out a lot WAAAA thank u for the lil bits of advice (i personally love the bit where i work with my own strengths qwq) right now im workin on a lil pilot for my show Lucklusters!!! cant wait to see your pilot too cuz sheesh it looks amazing so far!!!
Making a fully hand-drawn animated series, truly faithful to the golden age. Drawing every frame on paper, then tracing over it with ink and putting it against a background to be shot. Mix the style of Cuphead with not just the humour of Looney Tunes, but my own humour and you’ll have "Sammy Shorts".
My concept for a story I’ve been meaning to tell is about a girl named skarlet who lost her dad at 10 and is now 15, who after finding an ancient family key, is transferred to no-where isle, where she meets friends and tho’s (and maybe even crushes) in a search to find a exit, and gain powers??? Lots of family secrets, lots of lore still to be uncovered, and skarlet being only one person having to handle this, will she be able to find her way back home???
Who doesn't love a good story about exploring unknown places and family trauma? Genuinely LOVE the concept for this, I feel like this is one of those pilots that has fire music that ends up blowing up across the internet in the span of a 30 minute release. I also ADOREE THE NAME!! Love how it's a K instead of a C for Skarlet, makes it much easier to search up the character and not get mixed up for Scarlet J or like a color. LOVE THIS
Im only a young teen (not saying spefs) but me and a few friends are working on a half-puppet half-animated series called StarBorn! Its based on a library study group making "PSA's" in a world thats rigged against them. Were hoping to start production this summer if we can get the voice actors :]]
I LOVEEE LOVE LOVE puppet shows, especially puppet series. I haven't seen many but I kid you not, they always end up with good stories. If you need help finding voice actors, I know some and I am one myself (free one that is lol). I LOVE THE STORY OMG it's such an original concept. I barely see library stories nowadays unless it's about diving into a book). I also love the name "StarBorn", because now I'm thinking of space or symbolically focusing on the MCs going against the government because they are the "stars" of the rebellion. But those are just my theories. hope producing your series goes well! Wish you best of luck for you and your friends!
I’m making a show based off some comics I make called padlock. The premise is that we focus on a guy named Chester who’s a locksmith who accidentally helps someone with the wrong intentions
Working on a LOADDDD of pilots right now; this helps a lot with trying to finally calm down and take it one step at a time. Usually, I improvise on small concepts in popular stories, or old storyboards, however I'm also wanting to focus on the ORIGINAL aspects of creating an animated pilot. My goal is to be somewhere around Ramshackle, but that'll take a lot of work.
Thank you so much for these tips!! I’m working on a show and I hope it can be more than just one episode so I’ll try to make the pilot a good one. Your tips really helped and it was nice to see some of the things I was doing right and what I should work on. That start from the middle tip especially helped :).
Thanks for the advice! I’m working on a show called Spectral Bonds, where it answers the unasked question of “What do you get when you fuse Yo-kai Watch, Owl House, Avatar, and Meta Runner” It stars 2 Best Friends named Alex Francesco and Riley Newell who meet a Spectral named Luna after Alex gained an ancient device called the Spectra Amulet! It also has a Deadpool amount of 4th Wall breaks so far
I remember Yo-kai watch from my childhood that show was FIREEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love the show name and the idea of "Spectrals", and how the title uses the word "Bonds" definitely gets me thinking. As well as how Yo-kai Watch and Avatar are about bonding with things (like elements or yo-kai), so I'm assuming Luna bonds with an MC And Deadpool humor 👌
You made a FREAKING GAME?!? Dude!! That stuffs hard work as heckity deckity Genuinely tho, love how the name is called "DogShoe" it gives me either humorous or adventure vibes, kinda like Adventure Time. Good luck with your pilot!
I’ve been working on a concept for a pilot for ages and I had no idea how to even start thank you so much for making this it’s really helpful and I feel a little more confident in doing this sold
Thanks for this video dude! This was really helpful, and I really like the "Self contained plot" part. I've been having some trouble trying to condense the story for the pilot to my pirate story, and not only would this help to not water down the plot, it'd just help people kinda get the vibe for the series, and get attached to the characters.
I don't see a lot of stories on that anymore, so it would be amazing for one to reach out to people again and spark that interest in others among pirates. Go for it
This is a great video! The most helpful part for me was making a list of my strengths and weaknesses, it gave me a lot to think about when planning my pilot! So far I pretty much only have character designs and a basic outline of my story, so it'll still be a while before I really have anything, but I expect to come back to this video a lot over the course of making it, it's a good video for tips, as well as motivation! Good luck with your pilot and future projects!
I’m under 16 and I currently am inspired by so many animated pilots, that I wanted to make my own. It’s called A Tale of Shadows (ATS for short) and it’s about the journeys on a planet taken over by a mysterious weapon seller named Genesis. I’ve only been working on this for 5-6 days I’d say, but I love it so much and it makes me feel great working on it. I have storyboards set up currently and are practicing animating ^_^ it was originally a comic but I wanted to turn it into a show. Should I continue? And thank you for the video, by the way.
I am working on an animatic series called Dawn of the Eclipse (DOTE for short) and it is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy series about a barn owl named Luna going on a journey to save her sister from the main villain while managing her anxiety. That's all I can say without spoiling the series, but I hope people will enjoy it. My main goal is to inspire others to make their own projects and teach important lessons with my series.
ACTUALLY -- I LOVE THE TITLE SO MUCH!! I have a heavy addiction to fantasy/sci-fi, and barn owls are uncommon animals used in sci-fi stories, so I can't wait to see this. I also love how you're avoiding spoilers, makes me even more excited. GENUINELY AM EXCITED FOR THIS GO FOR ITTTT
I had the idea of a series where the necromancer that the king keeps sending people to kill is actually the good guy, and not because of some "lesser of two evils" shenanigans, he actually has a moral code about who he will and will not hurt and under what circumstances he'll aim for the kill. The king, however, is the kind of person to kill a small child for getting in the way of him as he walks to his carriage.
That sounds like an amazing, original story -- go for it! I love the concept of a necromancer following his own morals instead of the cruel king's, and choosing who will survive his presence. Would a victim surviving prior to his moral code be like that scene from Snow White? where the Huntsman reluctantly lets Snow White go because of the good he sees in her? Im actually curious, this story is so captivating 😄
@@2weird2be More or less, yeah. Big difference is that instead of sending them back to the king who will almost certainly have them executed, he offers them a place to call home, with people joining him on the battlefield as lieutenants only when they're likely to make it out alive, whether it's due to sheer resilience, unmatched ferocity, a mastery over magic unlike any ever seen, or something else altogether.
@@2weird2be I unfortunately don't have the art skills to animate it myself, my dialogue is wooden at best when I'm writing both characters, and I can't voice act worth a shit. If I can find people willing to help share the load, maybe. If it's just me, though, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Ive been conceptualizing a show, but im not thay good of an animator, so im goong to do what im good at! Im mixing Gacha life2 animations with drawn elements! I love mixing the 2 genres in my videos right now! This is absolutly gonna help me! Thats!
That's a great idea, especially if you're not as fast when it comes to animation (not trying to demote you at all here). I especially love using Gacha Life poses when it comes to anatomy/structure, instead of using actual human anatomy sheets, because of the style I typically draw in. I can see how it can be used with drawn elements, like a GLMM/GCMM but fancier! I've also seen another comment talking about maybe using Lunime gacha games for their show, and you should totally go for it too!
Im in school and im working on a show called "shattered reality's"! It's about a group of friends from different reality's going through day to day life while also dealing with some old memories! It's taking forever to get it done but I'm aiming to get it done in the next months!
Yooo I can't wait for this in the next months! If you ever need help with anything, just lmk (I can voice act and animate!) The show sounds ominous with depressing tones overall, which makes me more interested when it comes to happy, upbeat moments. I love the title as well "reality" as the second word and noun that contrasts with the noun "fantasy" and details dreams that are crushed by plain and painful reality, and "shattered" as the adjective and first word that only EMPHASIZES the idea of a harsh reality and inability to make dreams come true. Or it can also resemble a group of people or person that is shattered by the reality of growing up, and cherishes old memories in hope of everything in their life fixing one day. I love this! Cant wait to see how it plays out!!
Your show looks amazing omg!!! I probably might make a pilot of something once I have more animation experience, I don't really have an idea yet however its developing overtime, honestly for now I animate map parts to improve my skill
It's also best to take notes from the 12 Principles of Animation video by Alan Becker. I'd link it, but could get reported for "scam links", so you can just search it up if you wish. Genuinely interested in the story of your pilot, but I also don't want to know so I don't get spoilers or something so whatever it is, go for it
Im planing on making an spider-sona animation. i got the script and the character design. But haven't started production yet. and i also thinking about an animated shot film at the time also.
It's best to start with the small, shorter things first so you can grasp the understanding of how you want to progress with animations. Also, with the amount of Spider-Sona animations I've seen, I'm sure yours is going to BLOW minds
As much as I want to make a pilot, (I’ve already got a solid premise in mind) I definitely wanna get some more experience first before I launch headlong into making one. I think I could handle all the animation and editing myself, it’s just the voice acting and music that would be a bit of an issue. Though, to everyone else interested in making their own indie animation, go for it! Take the time you need to hone your craft, but by all means, don’t throw in the towel because you don’t think your work is good enough, anyone can improve with enough practice. The advice in this video is really helpful! Especially the bit about playing to your strengths. There’s a good reason “work smarter, not harder” is a famous saying.
Man this video was encouraging!!! I loved the advice, I've had a working concept for a 3 season wide storyline based on actual unscripted things that happened on the Minecraft server I meet all my friends on a few years back. Recently I've been learning animation and getting a good grasp and it and I think I've got a good thing going. All of my friends are REALLY excited to voice themselves.
I have been trying to conceptualize a story for the past 5 years and finally decided that I will be starting to officially write the first draft of the whole story this May. Although I have ideas for an animation, I only plan to turn it into a trailer and make comics about it instead. I have no title for it yet but I've named it "Project Origin." I hope I can finish the trailer this December
I LOVE THE TITLE!! It's really giving me futuristic/sci-fi vibes and I can't wait to see the trailer in December. I think it being a webcomic would definitely help enhance a future/science theme (if my guess is right). Glad you're finally deciding to go through with it! 5 years is a lot. good luck!!
This is actually so helpful, inspiring, and comforting to hear. I don't know why. I just hope the whole world knows that if a cartoon about psycho coyotes on a boat fighting to save their species and discover the root of a zombie apocalypse while simultaneously tackling the meaning of life itself ever crawls out of the indie animation pit, this man will have played a significant role in it's existence.
I don't have any pilot ideas in mind just yet, but I'm so excited to work on one someday! I think I'm a little weak in the writing department, but I have friends who might need assistance with their pilots someday, so we'll see what happens! I'm so excited to start uploading more of my work :D
@2weird2be not necessarily. I want it to be an adventure time sorta with an episodic format of my characters just getting in weird situations in this magical weird version on Earth. And the musical aspect kinda similar to Steven Universe or Hazbin Hotel. I did like Wonka
@@LucaMations same, and I love Steven Universe and Hazbin Hotel! The songs are similar to Disney yet offer their own unique aspects. Its cool to see another person in the fandom.
watching this while animating a little short, and now I'm REALLY inspired to create some kind of series, either way, I want to get my stories out somehow
I’m 13 who’s in love with thriller/action packed stories. I’m trying my best to make a series where 2 sisters fight against eachother. One dresses up as a demon to attract demons and kill them while the other sister dresses up as an Angel to do the opposite. The two sisters are against eachother while one is causing mayhem. This story contains paranormal activities/cults/fighting scenes. I hope to be successful someday
And you will be with such a creative concept like THAT. like DANG. As a person with siblings I see how easily the whole demon/angel rivalry could work out. I'm curious about how the seasons would end, or the climax of the series. You can write this off really well! Cant wait to see the paranormal fights :D
@@iwillfanumtaxyoursigma Oooh I ADORE the play of a "sweet innocent town" that's actually a stone-cold dictatorship that is nothing like it seems in the beginning or when people outside the town may discuss it. Or maybe all the RESIDENTS try to make the town seem sweet and loyal UP UNTIL THE PLOT TWIST -- IT'S A BAD TOWN!! I wonder how the main character will go about finding the dark past I know a good reference for a story like this if you'd like to watch it! It's a graphic novel that got dubbed. Called "ANTHEM" ua-cam.com/video/VYfDxkn-8YI/v-deo.html
@@2weird2be This comment means a lot to me. Thank you so much! I’ve always been worried about if it is not good enough or if it’s a horrible idea that’s not interesting. I’m really happy you are interested and I’m actually working on a first episode. Might take long to make since I’m only one person and I’m inexperienced with animation :,) But thank you so much!!!
@@croutonwoman3730 ofc! If you need any help, I can always animate a short clip or two for ya! Just lmk. Really wanna see this awesome idea come to life!
@@2weird2be omg really? Unfortunately I don’t have the money and also I have a lot of school. I’m already animating the intro and getting the script all ready. I’m a minor so unfortunately I have no way of paying you back (sadly) but if your still interested, that would mean a lot!!! The story does get into some religious themes if your ok with that (I’m not using this film as hate to any religion ) but I could use as much help as I could get!
Ik people are posting concepts here, so i have an idea: A full on warfare over one specific area filled with prototype laser cannons and mass destruction weaponry in an alternate universe where the 2010s are more technologically advanced with hovering mario kart wheels and improved fuel efficiency. Eventually one country succeeds but this causes even more warfare as that one country attacks everyone with the prototype weapons but swiss (ofc). The country of the protagonists country is also attacked by the weapons since these two countries are big enemies, somehow. But one outpost decides “yea screw the war” and has the mission of finding out who started the war, what caused the war, and WHY ARE MEDICAL BILLS SO FRIGGIN HIGH???
Working on a pilot for my story, Nightmare Penitentiary, that I’m hoping to release by the end of the summer! However, I literally just started working yesterday, sooo… don’t count on it. ‘:)
I've had this video in my "Watch later" list for quite a long time, mainly because I have a basic concept, but I don't know if it works, nor if it can even be considered indie animation at all. Basically, what I'm thinking of doing is an indie show using Lunime's Gacha dress-up games to make some sorta "proof of concept" for this indie show which I, currently... don't really have any ideas for... ._."
Yeah! There are so many GCMM/GLMMs or you can make a storyboard with little basic screenshots, just to get the basic actions nailed to the bone. I wouldn't consider that "indie animation", more like an animated series under Gacha content, but that doesnt disturb from the idea of a creative, unique, and free-to-watch series. The best way to form some ideas is to ask yourself: What tone do I want to display? Do I ever want that tone to change? Beginning, middle, end? Where do I want this to be set? In space? At a beach? Woods? etc. One thing I also like to do is to novelise any film you find or like. This is just for writing practices, just to get into the flow of basic writing when you have your idea.
Honestly the only thing i struggle with is script writing, I did have my first episode ready but my phone lost storage and the entire doc deleted itself, and im trying to recreate it all from memory. Have been planning this series since I was 11, lol.
Omg nooo the doc 😭 Script-writing sucks but is also a beautiful thing imo. It's a long-lasting job but provides you the layout for your story, just like storyboards in animation. If you're struggling with ideas or having a "fun" writer's block, it's best to check out art on google. Actually. Just look up art that relates to the style/theme of your show or what you want it to look like, and there should be some cool backgrounds/characters that appear. That's for settings and character designs. However, if you're talking plot-wise, there's not a lot I can help with that as of NOW except tell you to rewatch your favorite movies/shows, since they enticed you for a reason: usually plot or art, but mainly plot. Use the style of writing to help you with your own work (not plagarism, but modifying based on inspiration) Also 11 years old? WHATTT
Even thought this probably won't get seen thanks for the tips and i hope whoever is seeing this looks forward to the hopeful release of very yes i MEAN wreckless
Thank you for this! I want to make an animated series one day with my oc’s that’s a relatable, mystery, and comedy type show. I’ve got the concept written out but I’m still working on it some more and making different versions of the story..this makes me want to go ahead and start writing for the pilot! I hope your animated pilot gains lots of attraction as well :)
Thank you for this video! Really helps me to know what to do! I've got my own concept of two bestfriends getting stuck in a fantasy world filled with criminals and almost finish building the writing.
@@2weird2be thank you! Honestly it was inspired by a bunch of shows so I kinda mush them together, so it's like an unoriginal original lol. But yea, I tried my best to make it original and good!
@@KittyMQ Nahh I totally get it. And hey, you're just being inspired, it's not actually like you're stealing the entire concept of a show word-for-word or name-for-name. You're just taking references and being like "hey that's cool, let's mash that with that and improvise!"
Working on a comic strip I’m co-creating with my daughter right now called « Critters & Co. » I’m also thinking about turning these strips into short cartoons but I have zero background or experience in animation so I’m still trying to figure out which software to use-debating between Adobe Animate and Blender’s Grease Pencil at the moment.
I really really like this video. Everything you said this made me feel more confident that people will make my show the kid and lit star episode 1 there’s currently being worked on with the help of some animators of mine and background designers, and leave voice actor for my main character.
As of now im currently 14 and i had a concept of like a real life person getting sucked into his notebook where his ideas come to life, when he's in the notebook he can't really change anything that happens inside the notebook from the inside and its like he can travel back & fourth with the notebook, to add more context its like when he holds the notebook he's not there to any of the book's inhabitants but if he takes his hands off the book for just a second he becomes real to them.
Thank you for this video, it helped a lot considering that me and my friends are making an animated show and we have a very small team, so thank you for the information because it helped a lot.
Hope yall get the support you need. It sucks when you end up with a small team, but with the right motivation and skills put together, yall got this in the bag
I've got actually 2 concepts I wanna do for shows- Jinx the Lynx An slapstick comedy animated show about a family of triplet lynxes and their mom living on a tropical island peacefully till a crocodile treasure hunter hired by a tigress queen from a far away land arrives to the island to find a mythical gem. It wouldn't feature voice acting and the humor would be smth similar to older Lego games- grunts and slapstick humor. Scurvy-pups An all-dogs pirate themed show with a bit of a serious undertone but with a fair bit of comedy as well, tells the story of a young pup thrusted into an life of a pirate along with his childhood friend, pursuing glory, riches and adventure.
yooo these sound so original! I love the concept of a treasure-hunting alligator and serious undertone for a dog-pirate show. I cant wait to see how this plays out, especially when managing the features of lynxes and other anthropomorphic animals in the shows!
*so i've seen this video to understand how to make my dream come true. but instead it just made me realize that my past horrible experiences were worth something*
I've had an idea for an animated pilot for a while. I've only recently decided to actually start practicing my animation skills to eventually begin work on it.
Thats great good for you dude! Also remember scriptwriting and basic writing practices! I recommend finding a film and novelising it for practice purposes ^^
bro this is helpfull af im wanting to make an animated seriese and this will help me when i start making it thank youu (i really need to work on the world building and deveopment while learning animation)
Ahh I love watching people make pilots and honestly I wish you full support for your animated show! When it comes to world building, dare I say it, Google Earth and games like Minecraft that provide context on different textures and structures and such will definitely help you. It's also best to focus on the exact genre/style of your show, since that'll best help you with settings (also CHARACTERS AND CHARACTER DESIGNS!!!). Good luck with learning animation! I HIGHLY recommend the 12 Principles of Animation video by Alan Becker (would link, but I may get reported for "scamming online" for sending links, so it's best to just search it on youtube). good luck !!
Pretty good advice there man! That being said, I have a concept for a retelling of my life where I have godlike powers and I’m trying to grow up with the responsibility of being the universe’s hero… among other things, but I’m not gonna get too into detail. I just want people to vibe with it and have it be another Spider-Verse or Puss in Boots 2 (maybe a combination of both) so it can have a style that can really stand out. I have a lot of ideas for the show, it’s world, and its characters, and I want it to be the best show it can possibly be.
Good luck with that dude, though I don't think you'll need it cuz you already got a lot going on, and well thought out too. When it comes to animation styles, it's best to work out the script first, before you get into stylizing everything. Also, make sure to focus on the main color schemes (best to stick with 2-4 colors that'll best symbolize your story). This sounds like one of those cool fake scenarios that pops into my head when I hear an edit audio lol go for it
i once had a daydream about a protagonist that lives in a tropical beach who is afraid of the deep ocean, and the antagonist is a leviathan that is trying to destroy the tropical beach that the protagonist and other characters live in. But im not that old enough to do things as complicated as making a whole show by myself. (that daydream was kind of like a fake memory or something if anyone knows what its called comment it because im curious.)
Daydream ideas are some ofcthe best ideas (because you’re subconscious but also not asleep and will possibly forget whag you dreamt about) Love the idea here! The concept of a character who has thalassophobia and is literally surrounded by their fear can definitely help with character developemtn! I wish you good luck when you choose to develop this (you can always start out with bullet points/writing a rough draft first, age doesnt matter in this situation dude! Glgl!)
I've had a show idea that i was gonna use for a Gacha series, but my dream is to make it an Animated show, but im poor, so it'll be a long time before that happens, its called Clueless Rad, a story about a 10 year old boy named Rad Clueless who moves back to his hometown of Miami with his mom, Ashley and his sister, Lydia, after his parents Divorce, i have some information about the show on my community tabs, the show would probably have some swearing but would be for a 12+ audience.
I’m writing a fantasy story with a indie band whose new drummer is a magi. There are rifts between the magic and non-magic worlds where magical creatures and artifacts have leaked into our world
im working on an object show "mental chaos", tho atm taking a break from it due to school making me have no time to work on it i still gotta figure out how to do it as i seem to be too ambitious easily, struggle with attention and dont have the skills to form a proper crew or guide them right
School really sucks when it comes to doing something other than homework, because they really just shove stuff onto you and are like "yo do it or else 1.3 gpa lol" so I understand scheduling issues. there's voice actors and animators that work for free (with animators, it's usually much harder to find). If you're animating yourself, best to always start out with a rough draft in writing and THEN proceed to the storyboard for animation. Ask someone who can help you organize your schedule instead of just handling time-constraints yourself. good luck with your show!
I need a video like this! Thanks! I want to make a short but my life is so chaotic and didn't know where to start. Thanks. If you got more tips feel free. I am coming up with some ideas but if you got tips regarding tools, voices, scheduling and what have you I could use it.
Random person here (hello) When it comes down to voice actors, there's a lot of them on the internet that work for free (I know some in cause you need'em, and I am one myself), you really just have to send them lines and they'll send you a video/audio recording, then BOOM you got your voices. When it comes down to animation or drawing or anything related to art for your story, some good animation apps for free are flipaclip and blender (a little more complicated). However, flipaclip does not work on windows computers unless you use an APK like Bluestacks and proceed from there. Pricey ones would be Adobe Animate (monthly/annual cost) and Procreate Dreams (one-time purchase). I can understand how chaotic life can be, so for scheduling, it's best to let someone help you with that if you can give them the best information as possible on when you're going to be busy, and when you're going to be free through the weeks. hope this helps. not really the best advice, but I want your story to go well. Really excited for everyone's stories, really. good luck!
I alr have made the story for it, all charecters desinged(I didnt draw them lmao) and stuff. I will probs write a book abt it at the summer, learn how to draw and animate. This will help, tysm!:)
Ahh! Good luck on your artist journey, I fully support you! Love seeing new people take on art and fulfill their goals, and you seem really into this story, so now I'M into this story (even tho I barely know you, your story has officially caught my attention). I wish you good luck with your book!!
Im working on a silly and random cartoon that I’m slowly chipping progress into everyday with breaks here and there along with a few friends to do voice acting such as myself. It’s gonna be very comedic and action packed. To substitute the fact I do not have much patience or skill to make the entire thing frame by frame I thought of moving them around as still images and changing their sprite at times. But it will fit the charm of the cartoon anyway so it’s a win win. And I will have frame by frame animation here and there with also rotoscope thrown in for humor aswell. All while also having deep lore that eventually leads to an even bigger project I could potentially make in the far future.
Ooo I love that idea! And yeah, the patience part is understandable. I’ve seen a few pilots do the sprite movement technique. Glad you got everything planned! Good luck with your comedic/action-based pilot, dude! Seems like you’re really getting into it! Best of luck to your friends as well
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Wow fantastically well done Video! As someone who studied Traditional animation and finally beginning to take the Indie plunge after copious yrs of a beaten down self esteem from insane animation instructors 😅 I have been working on a 2D hand drawn traditional short animation I call the Sussy Spaceship 🚀 😜 Currently finishing the Imposter pencil in-betweens, have my 1 scene background, story & character designs completed but not the final animations or color wah wah. Yah what you said strengths & weaknesses or about things you like more than others in my case 😂 is 100% on the money 💰 Inbetweening has never been my favorite as I get bored of drawing the same thing to many times 🤷 go figure! Lol. But I thank you for your extremely motivsting and inspirational video about your animation pilot because it's motivated me to get mine finished 😁👍🏼 "Keep Creatin' & Stay Classy!"
I'm confused on why you shouldn't end on a cliffhanger. Wouldn't it make more sense cuz you would have people asking for a second episode cuz they need to see where it goes?
I’ve had this concept of a human-like husky named Jovi Nightrider who’s dream is to unravel the secrets of alternate realities and world-like dimensions, but i kind of have mixed feelings about it so what I’m going to do right now is use this same channel for my new one named (Omelette.Q) but also Thank you this really gives me a pump of motivation.
I'm just a little guy and probably won't be making a show anytime soon because I'm often busy and definitely an amateur but this will definitely be helpful for future reference :)
finding something that works for me is mostly people who do stuff for me. for anything else its if I have a team it'd be the story os hard to shorten or communicate better
I have this sorta scrapped pilot idea and I’m thinking about picking it up again just to see how it’d do with UA-cam. My channel, despite this is really small, so I’m trying to build subs right now. Thanks for tips anyways!
My idea for a pilot is about two siblings, with around 17 or 18 years. One is a girl that pratically is just trying to have a normal school life, but her brother (Grinsen) is a sociopath, and after a specific trauma, he's willing to do anything to get control and fame over his schoolmates, hoping one day he could actually control the whole country. I still dont have a proper script and I never tried to draw that much (aside from the Figures I do in my notebooks when I'm bored in class) but I do wish to at least give it a shot in this summer, probably I'll even improve drawing and writing skills Edite: Forgot to mention that Grinsen would always be smiling or grinning, like Alastor, and The explanation would be Said later in the series
@@2weird2be it’s a legion formed to defend against a evil empire that rules the galaxy the leader of the empire can steal the souls of the people he kills and both the legion and the empire are searching for a ancient artifact that contains trillions of souls of ancient powerful leaders
I'm currently working on an indie anime style series written by my dear friend, as well as my own series. I don't feel comfortable saying what they are called yet, for I am currently the storyboarding process on my friend's show and don't want anybody to steal the titles for the shows we've been working on LOL(I see too many tracers and copycats here on UA-cam 😂) I hope to release the first episode within the next 2-4 years, and already have a few animation tests on my channel(NOT self promoting by the way...) By the way, Thank you for making this video. It boosted my motivation to animate even more! Also, I hope your pilot episode is a massive success!🎉🎉🎉
Ive watched alot of cartoons back through my childhood and now got interested to indie animation when i Watched TADC & Murder Drones. And also ive daydreamed alot about my dream indie show, its in my brain for a long time now. My indie show is called "AGENT 41" and its an inspiration to my favorite Game, Movie, and Indie Show: Max Payne, John Wick, Murder Drones etc.. (My indie show may contain some little bit of violence) but i still needed to improve my art and start animating but hope this inspires me and helped me this Year of 2025 and the future
@@2weird2be they actually get married but you are right that they are kinda enemies (witch steals an apple from princess to feed brothers) but not for long and though they become friends quickly and the princess falls for the witch pretty quickly as well, the witch takes until the dragons almost kill her to realise she loves the princess (enough to ignore other people’s homophobic and classest(?) opinions) Also thanks very much for the encouragement :D
@@isamaple ofc ofc! also oooo enemies to lovers is such an interesting relationship. While it's commonly used, it's how the relationship DEVELOPS that always intrigues me. Genuinely would've thought the witch falls for the princess first, but I like how it's the opposite. Usually, it's the dark characters that end up falling for the bright ones.
Tbh they become friends fast cuz the princess saw that the witch had no bad intentions (had to feed her little brothers during what was practically a famine). Also Bella (princess) fell fast and hard lmao. She literally saw woman with pretty glowing (witch trait) eyes and was like “I’m in love” But there is a bit of a rough process to fall in love because of the trauma Iris (witch) experiences when her native town left her to take care of her brothers by herself and called a witch hunter to like kill her off (she was 15 😥) So basically Iris is very self conscious about people seeing her as different in this new kingdom and being in a gay relationship with someone of a way higher class even if they don’t find out she is a witch felt like too much to risk. Because of this she flat out rejected Bella saying she doesn’t love her enough to over look that and Bella is left with her heart shattered.
So, first of all, this video was super helpful. I've gotten into animation, but haven't done any really big projects cause I wasn't totally sure how to do so. Definitely leaning more towards trying to give it a shot now. It's probably going to be several years down the line since I'm just getting into animation, but I've got a comic I'm thinking about making a pilot episode for called Haunted Marshes. It's a slice of life horror comedy, if anyone's into that kind of thing. There's a little bit of stuff for it on tumbler, too, if anyone wants to see it.
Haunted Marshes sounds like an actually SICKKK name, and I can't wait to see it (yo where that tumblr page at tho). It's understandable that you may be delayed with your pilot because of your new understanding of animation. You can also do animated webcomics, with just a bit of tweening here and there. One example of what I mean is "The Interpretation of Shadows" (search it on UA-cam and click on the comments of the shorts). Good luck with this!
It's just haunted-marshes on tumbler, all lower case and hyphenated. My goal is to do a sort of reboot of my old attempts at the comic pages i put on webtoon, since those are from when i just started didgital art. Hoping to work on that more by end of summer, fingers crossed, as well as playing with animation to get more comfortable with it. (I would put a link or something to the tumbler, but I'm not really sure if i can on mobile. I usually don't comment much)
@@FensRandomness Yeah, I wouldn't suggest putting a link regardless, since youtube may accidentally take that as a "scam link" it'll be interesting to see your old art style comparing with your new one! I will search haunted-marshes up RIGHT NOW, really intrigued, fingers crosses as well for the reboot!
I want to start a series of my own, and since Indie Animation is hard, I wanna do something that looks similar to Indie animation but looks more easier, I wanna make something of my own
I’ve got a concept for a show about three dungeoneer adventurers who venture through people’s minds…
Ooo! That sounds really cool!
Nah man, you have to do this! This sounds sickly good!
That sounds sick I would definitely watch it.
OMG ID WATCH IT IF U MAKE A PILOT EPISODE PLSS
Totally supporting you in this
I'm gonna weigh in on this personally since I have indie animation experience. I made a short film around 18 mins long called Graveyard Shift, that took me around 3 years from beginning to end. I did everything except professional sound mixing and a few voices. I feel rewarded by the experience, but my advice for a pilot is to animate the cold open or act 1 of your pilot. Going right for the sports car will leave you stuck for years in the mines of animation and there were numerous occasions when I wanted to quit. Start small. Try to get people involved. Don't be a hero. And make sure to plan your script and GET FEEDBACK from people you trust to be honest. Blowing smoke helps nobody. You need to check your ego at the door and make sure that script is as razor sharp as possible to reduce rewrites and alternate takes.
Advice I 100% agree with and will utilize. Gotta take it from someone who’s done it. Also, it’s quite cool to know you created a pilot. Animation is hard, as well as sound effects, VAs, etc etc. Gonna check out Graveyard shift in a min, sounds eerie
Just took a screenshot. Excellent advice!
@@2weird2be well thank you I really appreciate it

*Love some original animation. Mad respect to all the artists out there!*
I’ve had a concept for a bit now. It’s the old times in Paris maybe Rome . The main character is a bounty hunter/thief who is quite the ladies man. His costume in kinda theatrical. Based n a cat, Dress shirt and paints with the puffy sleeves, a long cape, fabric tail, leather ears, a a mascarade cat mask .You’ve really given me inspiration to start this now. Thanks man. Also, your improbable face had me rolling
LOVEE how you're going with an "old times" style. It's usually used for historical themes, so I love where this is going!!
I literally ADORE the "hunter that has rizz" and the cat aspect, since cats can be quite sly or quiet, but are also popular and loved in different ways. Can't wait to see how this plays out! glgl!
Helpppppppp I forgot abt this video. My pilot is going well now! The story has changed a crap ton but it’s much better and I’ll have the trailer out in about a month. I’ve gotten a music composer and going to publish a casting call after the trailer. I’ve got high hopes for this thing and think it could actually do well as long as the UA-cam algorithm doesn’t kill me
It's funny I'm watching this after watching an actual pilot called Ramshackle.
It’s funny that this is relatable.
No way we're on the same boat
RAMSHACKLE FAN SPOTTED 🫵
Me!
Same
Literally same
I'm part of the Object Show Community, so my characters won't be the same, but the fandom is strongly built around making indie shows. I have quite a lot together. The characters, story, heck, even what I want my pilot to have! But my weakness mostly is the animation. While I can and have prided myself on my fluidity, lipsync and small details, I get burnout really easily unless I have real motivation. I doubt anything will come out soon, but I'm still going to try.
So cool! I'm also apart of the object show community, my motivation goes down the drain if I would want to animate anything. 😭
Ngl I don't know what the os community is, but I love indie shows so definitely gonna search that up later.
I wish you good luck with working on motivation. That stuff's a real struggle. If it helps, you can always watch cool animated content before you continue your own work, as it can sometimes make you go "alright time to join them in the big leagues/I wanna be like them"
That's just me, though. glgl!
@@2weird2be The OSC isn't the biggest community, but it's really been having some amazing content recently. I do recommend watching a show or two. Some larger ones have teams, but most are one or a few people. I hope you find some good gems if you're looking through some shows.
@@katstronaut tysm for helping me out :D
this helps out a lot WAAAA
thank u for the lil bits of advice (i personally love the bit where i work with my own strengths qwq)
right now im workin on a lil pilot for my show Lucklusters!!! cant wait to see your pilot too cuz sheesh it looks amazing so far!!!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you got some value out of it, can't wait to see lucklusters :DD
complexly ross!!?
Lucklusters sounds like one of those pilots that ends up hitting netflix or amazon. really can't wait to see it when it comes out
Making a fully hand-drawn animated series, truly faithful to the golden age.
Drawing every frame on paper, then tracing over it with ink and putting it against a background to be shot.
Mix the style of Cuphead with not just the humour of Looney Tunes, but my own humour and you’ll have "Sammy Shorts".

My concept for a story I’ve been meaning to tell is about a girl named skarlet who lost her dad at 10 and is now 15, who after finding an ancient family key, is transferred to no-where isle, where she meets friends and tho’s (and maybe even crushes) in a search to find a exit, and gain powers??? Lots of family secrets, lots of lore still to be uncovered, and skarlet being only one person having to handle this, will she be able to find her way back home???
Who doesn't love a good story about exploring unknown places and family trauma? Genuinely LOVE the concept for this, I feel like this is one of those pilots that has fire music that ends up blowing up across the internet in the span of a 30 minute release. I also ADOREE THE NAME!! Love how it's a K instead of a C for Skarlet, makes it much easier to search up the character and not get mixed up for Scarlet J or like a color. LOVE THIS
Thx
@@2weird2be thx
Im only a young teen (not saying spefs) but me and a few friends are working on a half-puppet half-animated series called StarBorn! Its based on a library study group making "PSA's" in a world thats rigged against them. Were hoping to start production this summer if we can get the voice actors :]]
I LOVEEE LOVE LOVE puppet shows, especially puppet series. I haven't seen many but I kid you not, they always end up with good stories. If you need help finding voice actors, I know some and I am one myself (free one that is lol).
I LOVE THE STORY OMG it's such an original concept. I barely see library stories nowadays unless it's about diving into a book). I also love the name "StarBorn", because now I'm thinking of space or symbolically focusing on the MCs going against the government because they are the "stars" of the rebellion. But those are just my theories.
hope producing your series goes well! Wish you best of luck for you and your friends!
@@Idiot_Sandwich- ooh! I can boice act, if ye want!
I’m making a show based off some comics I make called padlock. The premise is that we focus on a guy named Chester who’s a locksmith who accidentally helps someone with the wrong intentions
Working on a LOADDDD of pilots right now; this helps a lot with trying to finally calm down and take it one step at a time. Usually, I improvise on small concepts in popular stories, or old storyboards, however I'm also wanting to focus on the ORIGINAL aspects of creating an animated pilot. My goal is to be somewhere around Ramshackle, but that'll take a lot of work.
@@2weird2be yeah. I'm also working on a pilot. I don't have funds tho
@2weird2be that sounds awesome man!

Thanks you guys! I appreciate the support
@@2weird2be (:
Thank you so much for these tips!! I’m working on a show and I hope it can be more than just one episode so I’ll try to make the pilot a good one. Your tips really helped and it was nice to see some of the things I was doing right and what I should work on. That start from the middle tip especially helped :).
YESSS I love the energy here GO FOR IT DUDEEE

Thanks for the advice! I’m working on a show called Spectral Bonds, where it answers the unasked question of “What do you get when you fuse Yo-kai Watch, Owl House, Avatar, and Meta Runner”
It stars 2 Best Friends named Alex Francesco and Riley Newell who meet a Spectral named Luna after Alex gained an ancient device called the Spectra Amulet!
It also has a Deadpool amount of 4th Wall breaks so far
I remember Yo-kai watch from my childhood that show was FIREEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love the show name and the idea of "Spectrals", and how the title uses the word "Bonds" definitely gets me thinking. As well as how Yo-kai Watch and Avatar are about bonding with things (like elements or yo-kai), so I'm assuming Luna bonds with an MC
And Deadpool humor 👌
@@2weird2be Yessire!
I got an idea about three kids who go into the only school that trains soldiers to fight against a recent disease known as the swarm disaster.
Ooooo I like that! I’d definitely watch it if you make it :)
I’m working on a pilot for a show that’s based off of the idea of a game I made that few people played. The show will be called DogShoe.
You made a FREAKING GAME?!? Dude!! That stuffs hard work as heckity deckity
Genuinely tho, love how the name is called "DogShoe" it gives me either humorous or adventure vibes, kinda like Adventure Time. Good luck with your pilot!
I’ve been working on a concept for a pilot for ages and I had no idea how to even start thank you so much for making this it’s really helpful and I feel a little more confident in doing this sold
Thanks for this video dude! This was really helpful, and I really like the "Self contained plot" part. I've been having some trouble trying to condense the story for the pilot to my pirate story, and not only would this help to not water down the plot, it'd just help people kinda get the vibe for the series, and get attached to the characters.
I don't see a lot of stories on that anymore, so it would be amazing for one to reach out to people again and spark that interest in others among pirates. Go for it
This is a great video! The most helpful part for me was making a list of my strengths and weaknesses, it gave me a lot to think about when planning my pilot! So far I pretty much only have character designs and a basic outline of my story, so it'll still be a while before I really have anything, but I expect to come back to this video a lot over the course of making it, it's a good video for tips, as well as motivation!
Good luck with your pilot and future projects!
Hope it makes the big books bro, sounds like you're putting serious thought into it, and honestly -- go for it
I’m under 16 and I currently am inspired by so many animated pilots, that I wanted to make my own. It’s called A Tale of Shadows (ATS for short) and it’s about the journeys on a planet taken over by a mysterious weapon seller named Genesis. I’ve only been working on this for 5-6 days I’d say, but I love it so much and it makes me feel great working on it. I have storyboards set up currently and are practicing animating ^_^ it was originally a comic but I wanted to turn it into a show.
Should I continue?
And thank you for the video, by the way.
This is really inspiring. maybe even just the push I needed. you deserve more subs man!
glad you got your push dude! gl!
I am working on an animatic series called Dawn of the Eclipse (DOTE for short) and it is a Sci-Fi/Fantasy series about a barn owl named Luna going on a journey to save her sister from the main villain while managing her anxiety.
That's all I can say without spoiling the series, but I hope people will enjoy it. My main goal is to inspire others to make their own projects and teach important lessons with my series.
ACTUALLY -- I LOVE THE TITLE SO MUCH!!
I have a heavy addiction to fantasy/sci-fi, and barn owls are uncommon animals used in sci-fi stories, so I can't wait to see this. I also love how you're avoiding spoilers, makes me even more excited. GENUINELY AM EXCITED FOR THIS GO FOR ITTTT
Oh my gosh, thank you! ^^ And I dislike spoilers, so I try my hardest not to give spoilers of my own projects.

Bro looks like a disney pixar character and I mean that in the most positive way possible. I love it ❤
I'm working on the pilot episode for a (hopefully) upcoming animated series titled TVHead: Recharged!
I had the idea of a series where the necromancer that the king keeps sending people to kill is actually the good guy, and not because of some "lesser of two evils" shenanigans, he actually has a moral code about who he will and will not hurt and under what circumstances he'll aim for the kill. The king, however, is the kind of person to kill a small child for getting in the way of him as he walks to his carriage.
That sounds like an amazing, original story -- go for it! I love the concept of a necromancer following his own morals instead of the cruel king's, and choosing who will survive his presence. Would a victim surviving prior to his moral code be like that scene from Snow White? where the Huntsman reluctantly lets Snow White go because of the good he sees in her? Im actually curious, this story is so captivating 😄
@@2weird2be More or less, yeah. Big difference is that instead of sending them back to the king who will almost certainly have them executed, he offers them a place to call home, with people joining him on the battlefield as lieutenants only when they're likely to make it out alive, whether it's due to sheer resilience, unmatched ferocity, a mastery over magic unlike any ever seen, or something else altogether.
@@SueDonym-qx7or That sounds sick man, so excited for this.
@@2weird2be I unfortunately don't have the art skills to animate it myself, my dialogue is wooden at best when I'm writing both characters, and I can't voice act worth a shit. If I can find people willing to help share the load, maybe. If it's just me, though, I wouldn't hold my breath.
@@SueDonym-qx7or I’m willing to help with animation for free if you need it. I can only do a few clips since my days are packed, but let me know.
Ive been conceptualizing a show, but im not thay good of an animator, so im goong to do what im good at! Im mixing Gacha life2 animations with drawn elements! I love mixing the 2 genres in my videos right now! This is absolutly gonna help me! Thats!
That's a great idea, especially if you're not as fast when it comes to animation (not trying to demote you at all here).
I especially love using Gacha Life poses when it comes to anatomy/structure, instead of using actual human anatomy sheets, because of the style I typically draw in. I can see how it can be used with drawn elements, like a GLMM/GCMM but fancier! I've also seen another comment talking about maybe using Lunime gacha games for their show, and you should totally go for it too!
Im in school and im working on a show called "shattered reality's"! It's about a group of friends from different reality's going through day to day life while also dealing with some old memories! It's taking forever to get it done but I'm aiming to get it done in the next months!
Yooo I can't wait for this in the next months! If you ever need help with anything, just lmk (I can voice act and animate!)
The show sounds ominous with depressing tones overall, which makes me more interested when it comes to happy, upbeat moments. I love the title as well "reality" as the second word and noun that contrasts with the noun "fantasy" and details dreams that are crushed by plain and painful reality, and "shattered" as the adjective and first word that only EMPHASIZES the idea of a harsh reality and inability to make dreams come true. Or it can also resemble a group of people or person that is shattered by the reality of growing up, and cherishes old memories in hope of everything in their life fixing one day.
I love this! Cant wait to see how it plays out!!
Your show looks amazing omg!!! I probably might make a pilot of something once I have more animation experience, I don't really have an idea yet however its developing overtime, honestly for now I animate map parts to improve my skill
It's also best to take notes from the 12 Principles of Animation video by Alan Becker. I'd link it, but could get reported for "scam links", so you can just search it up if you wish. Genuinely interested in the story of your pilot, but I also don't want to know so I don't get spoilers or something so whatever it is, go for it
Im planing on making an spider-sona animation. i got the script and the character design. But haven't started production yet.
and i also thinking about an animated shot film at the time also.
It's best to start with the small, shorter things first so you can grasp the understanding of how you want to progress with animations. Also, with the amount of Spider-Sona animations I've seen, I'm sure yours is going to BLOW minds
As much as I want to make a pilot, (I’ve already got a solid premise in mind) I definitely wanna get some more experience first before I launch headlong into making one. I think I could handle all the animation and editing myself, it’s just the voice acting and music that would be a bit of an issue. Though, to everyone else interested in making their own indie animation, go for it! Take the time you need to hone your craft, but by all means, don’t throw in the towel because you don’t think your work is good enough, anyone can improve with enough practice.
The advice in this video is really helpful! Especially the bit about playing to your strengths. There’s a good reason “work smarter, not harder” is a famous saying.
Man this video was encouraging!!! I loved the advice, I've had a working concept for a 3 season wide storyline based on actual unscripted things that happened on the Minecraft server I meet all my friends on a few years back. Recently I've been learning animation and getting a good grasp and it and I think I've got a good thing going. All of my friends are REALLY excited to voice themselves.
That sounds incredible dude, i can see why your friends are excited. go for it
I'm working on a show named Divine and it's about thegod of the stars and a hellborn demon. Sorta like helluva boss or hazbin hotel, but tuned down.
SICK 🤩
I like the combination of vivziepop's hellaverse and a god of the stars. cant wait to see how that plays out :D
This is really helpful! I already have made the pilot for my indie cartoon! But still this was fun to watch! Even though i am like 1 year late....
I have been trying to conceptualize a story for the past 5 years and finally decided that I will be starting to officially write the first draft of the whole story this May. Although I have ideas for an animation, I only plan to turn it into a trailer and make comics about it instead. I have no title for it yet but I've named it "Project Origin." I hope I can finish the trailer this December
You got this ❤
I LOVE THE TITLE!! It's really giving me futuristic/sci-fi vibes and I can't wait to see the trailer in December. I think it being a webcomic would definitely help enhance a future/science theme (if my guess is right). Glad you're finally deciding to go through with it! 5 years is a lot. good luck!!
This is actually so helpful, inspiring, and comforting to hear. I don't know why. I just hope the whole world knows that if a cartoon about psycho coyotes on a boat fighting to save their species and discover the root of a zombie apocalypse while simultaneously tackling the meaning of life itself ever crawls out of the indie animation pit, this man will have played a significant role in it's existence.
I don't have any pilot ideas in mind just yet, but I'm so excited to work on one someday! I think I'm a little weak in the writing department, but I have friends who might need assistance with their pilots someday, so we'll see what happens! I'm so excited to start uploading more of my work :D
Ive been coming up with story ideas and characters for a show. I want it to be kinda like a fantasy musical comedy
thats cool! that reminds me of the Wonka musical. is it similar to that? :D I'm curious about the plot here SPILL THE TEA 😡😂
@2weird2be not necessarily. I want it to be an adventure time sorta with an episodic format of my characters just getting in weird situations in this magical weird version on Earth. And the musical aspect kinda similar to Steven Universe or Hazbin Hotel. I did like Wonka
@@LucaMations same, and I love Steven Universe and Hazbin Hotel! The songs are similar to Disney yet offer their own unique aspects. Its cool to see another person in the fandom.

yass pop off with your animated short im sure its gonna be epic
I’m 13 who’s in love with thriller/action packed stories. I’m trying my best to make a series where 2 sisters fight against eachother. One dresses up as a demon to attract demons and kill them while the other sister dresses up as an Angel to do the opposite. The two sisters are against eachother while one is causing mayhem. This story contains paranormal activities/cults/fighting scenes. I hope to be successful someday
And you will be with such a creative concept like THAT. like DANG. As a person with siblings I see how easily the whole demon/angel rivalry could work out. I'm curious about how the seasons would end, or the climax of the series. You can write this off really well! Cant wait to see the paranormal fights :D
@@iwillfanumtaxyoursigma Oooh I ADORE the play of a "sweet innocent town" that's actually a stone-cold dictatorship that is nothing like it seems in the beginning or when people outside the town may discuss it.

A full on warfare over one specific area filled with prototype laser cannons and mass destruction weaponry in an alternate universe where the 2010s are more technologically advanced with hovering mario kart wheels and improved fuel efficiency. Eventually one country succeeds but this causes even more warfare as that one country attacks everyone with the prototype weapons but swiss (ofc).
The country of the protagonists country is also attacked by the weapons since these two countries are big enemies, somehow. But one outpost decides “yea screw the war” and has the mission of finding out who started the war, what caused the war, and WHY ARE MEDICAL BILLS SO FRIGGIN HIGH???
I am working on a show project it’s going to pretty good 😊
Working on a pilot for my story, Nightmare Penitentiary, that I’m hoping to release by the end of the summer! However, I literally just started working yesterday, sooo… don’t count on it. ‘:)
ooooOooOoOo
That sounds awesome! What's it about? It sounds eeerie dude thats amazing plss spoil it for me
Thanks for this video! I’ve been off and on with my animated series concept and this definitely came at the right time!
I've had this video in my "Watch later" list for quite a long time, mainly because I have a basic concept, but I don't know if it works, nor if it can even be considered indie animation at all.
Basically, what I'm thinking of doing is an indie show using Lunime's Gacha dress-up games to make some sorta "proof of concept" for this indie show which I, currently... don't really have any ideas for... ._."
Yeah! There are so many GCMM/GLMMs or you can make a storyboard with little basic screenshots, just to get the basic actions nailed to the bone. I wouldn't consider that "indie animation", more like an animated series under Gacha content, but that doesnt disturb from the idea of a creative, unique, and free-to-watch series.
The best way to form some ideas is to ask yourself:
What tone do I want to display?
Do I ever want that tone to change? Beginning, middle, end?
Where do I want this to be set? In space? At a beach? Woods? etc.
One thing I also like to do is to novelise any film you find or like. This is just for writing practices, just to get into the flow of basic writing when you have your idea.
This was sooo helpful! I also love the little comments! Your the best :3
Honestly the only thing i struggle with is script writing, I did have my first episode ready but my phone lost storage and the entire doc deleted itself, and im trying to recreate it all from memory. Have been planning this series since I was 11, lol.
Omg nooo the doc 😭
Script-writing sucks but is also a beautiful thing imo. It's a long-lasting job but provides you the layout for your story, just like storyboards in animation. If you're struggling with ideas or having a "fun" writer's block, it's best to check out art on google. Actually. Just look up art that relates to the style/theme of your show or what you want it to look like, and there should be some cool backgrounds/characters that appear. That's for settings and character designs. However, if you're talking plot-wise, there's not a lot I can help with that as of NOW except tell you to rewatch your favorite movies/shows, since they enticed you for a reason: usually plot or art, but mainly plot. Use the style of writing to help you with your own work (not plagarism, but modifying based on inspiration)
Also 11 years old? WHATTT
Thanks for your advice.
Even thought this probably won't get seen thanks for the tips and i hope whoever is seeing this looks forward to the hopeful release of very yes i MEAN wreckless
Strange .indeed
Peculiar
Thank you for this! I want to make an animated series one day with my oc’s that’s a relatable, mystery, and comedy type show. I’ve got the concept written out but I’m still working on it some more and making different versions of the story..this makes me want to go ahead and start writing for the pilot! I hope your animated pilot gains lots of attraction as well :)
Thank you for this video! Really helps me to know what to do! I've got my own concept of two bestfriends getting stuck in a fantasy world filled with criminals and almost finish building the writing.
DUDE THAT SOUNDS FIRE!! There's so many pilots I want to see in this comment section and honestly this is one of the best and most original
@@2weird2be thank you! Honestly it was inspired by a bunch of shows so I kinda mush them together, so it's like an unoriginal original lol. But yea, I tried my best to make it original and good!
@@KittyMQ Nahh I totally get it. And hey, you're just being inspired, it's not actually like you're stealing the entire concept of a show word-for-word or name-for-name. You're just taking references and being like "hey that's cool, let's mash that with that and improvise!"
Good job 🦖

Working on a comic strip I’m co-creating with my daughter right now called « Critters & Co. » I’m also thinking about turning these strips into short cartoons but I have zero background or experience in animation so I’m still trying to figure out which software to use-debating between Adobe Animate and Blender’s Grease Pencil at the moment.
I really really like this video. Everything you said this made me feel more confident that people will make my show the kid and lit star episode 1 there’s currently being worked on with the help of some animators of mine and background designers, and leave voice actor for my main character.
As of now im currently 14 and i had a concept of like a real life person getting sucked into his notebook where his ideas come to life, when he's in the notebook he can't really change anything that happens inside the notebook from the inside and its like he can travel back & fourth with the notebook, to add more context its like when he holds the notebook he's not there to any of the book's inhabitants but if he takes his hands off the book for just a second he becomes real to them.
Thank you for this video, it helped a lot considering that me and my friends are making an animated show and we have a very small team, so thank you for the information because it helped a lot.
Hope yall get the support you need. It sucks when you end up with a small team, but with the right motivation and skills put together, yall got this in the bag
@@2weird2be Thank you, we aren't really trying to hire anyone because we are all broke, so its just us for now. Lol
@@Da_Jakey Ahh rip I feel you on that part, I can't even afford a wallet
I've got actually 2 concepts I wanna do for shows-
Jinx the Lynx
An slapstick comedy animated show about a family of triplet lynxes and their mom living on a tropical island peacefully till a crocodile treasure hunter hired by a tigress queen from a far away land arrives to the island to find a mythical gem. It wouldn't feature voice acting and the humor would be smth similar to older Lego games- grunts and slapstick humor.
Scurvy-pups
An all-dogs pirate themed show with a bit of a serious undertone but with a fair bit of comedy as well, tells the story of a young pup thrusted into an life of a pirate along with his childhood friend, pursuing glory, riches and adventure.
yooo these sound so original! I love the concept of a treasure-hunting alligator and serious undertone for a dog-pirate show. I cant wait to see how this plays out, especially when managing the features of lynxes and other anthropomorphic animals in the shows!
*so i've seen this video to understand how to make my dream come true. but instead it just made me realize that my past horrible experiences were worth something*
Amazing video, I want to make my own indie series and this is really inspiring
I've had an idea for an animated pilot for a while. I've only recently decided to actually start practicing my animation skills to eventually begin work on it.
Thats great good for you dude! Also remember scriptwriting and basic writing practices! I recommend finding a film and novelising it for practice purposes ^^
bro this is helpfull af im wanting to make an animated seriese and this will help me when i start making it thank youu (i really need to work on the world building and deveopment while learning animation)
Ahh I love watching people make pilots and honestly I wish you full support for your animated show! When it comes to world building, dare I say it, Google Earth and games like Minecraft that provide context on different textures and structures and such will definitely help you. It's also best to focus on the exact genre/style of your show, since that'll best help you with settings (also CHARACTERS AND CHARACTER DESIGNS!!!). Good luck with learning animation! I HIGHLY recommend the 12 Principles of Animation video by Alan Becker (would link, but I may get reported for "scamming online" for sending links, so it's best to just search it on youtube). good luck !!
I got an idea about four interdemensional beings that live in the shadows trying to stop an anciant being from destroying the universe
You should go for it, it seems like a cool concept
Pretty good advice there man! That being said, I have a concept for a retelling of my life where I have godlike powers and I’m trying to grow up with the responsibility of being the universe’s hero… among other things, but I’m not gonna get too into detail. I just want people to vibe with it and have it be another Spider-Verse or Puss in Boots 2 (maybe a combination of both) so it can have a style that can really stand out. I have a lot of ideas for the show, it’s world, and its characters, and I want it to be the best show it can possibly be.
Good luck with that dude, though I don't think you'll need it cuz you already got a lot going on, and well thought out too. When it comes to animation styles, it's best to work out the script first, before you get into stylizing everything. Also, make sure to focus on the main color schemes (best to stick with 2-4 colors that'll best symbolize your story). This sounds like one of those cool fake scenarios that pops into my head when I hear an edit audio lol
go for it
i once had a daydream about a protagonist that lives in a tropical beach who is afraid of the deep ocean, and the antagonist is a leviathan that is trying to destroy the tropical beach that the protagonist and other characters live in. But im not that old enough to do things as complicated as making a whole show by myself. (that daydream was kind of like a fake memory or something if anyone knows what its called comment it because im curious.)
Daydream ideas are some ofcthe best ideas (because you’re subconscious but also not asleep and will possibly forget whag you dreamt about)
Love the idea here! The concept of a character who has thalassophobia and is literally surrounded by their fear can definitely help with character developemtn! I wish you good luck when you choose to develop this (you can always start out with bullet points/writing a rough draft first, age doesnt matter in this situation dude! Glgl!)
I have so many stories in my head. Thanks for making this video, it was really helpful and inspiring!
I've had a show idea that i was gonna use for a Gacha series, but my dream is to make it an Animated show, but im poor, so it'll be a long time before that happens, its called Clueless Rad, a story about a 10 year old boy named Rad Clueless who moves back to his hometown of Miami with his mom, Ashley and his sister, Lydia, after his parents Divorce, i have some information about the show on my community tabs, the show would probably have some swearing but would be for a 12+ audience.
I’m writing a fantasy story with a indie band whose new drummer is a magi. There are rifts between the magic and non-magic worlds where magical creatures and artifacts have leaked into our world
im working on an object show "mental chaos", tho atm taking a break from it due to school making me have no time to work on it
i still gotta figure out how to do it as i seem to be too ambitious easily, struggle with attention and dont have the skills to form a proper crew or guide them right
School really sucks when it comes to doing something other than homework, because they really just shove stuff onto you and are like "yo do it or else 1.3 gpa lol" so I understand scheduling issues.
there's voice actors and animators that work for free (with animators, it's usually much harder to find). If you're animating yourself, best to always start out with a rough draft in writing and THEN proceed to the storyboard for animation. Ask someone who can help you organize your schedule instead of just handling time-constraints yourself.
good luck with your show!
I need a video like this! Thanks! I want to make a short but my life is so chaotic and didn't know where to start. Thanks. If you got more tips feel free. I am coming up with some ideas but if you got tips regarding tools, voices, scheduling and what have you I could use it.
Random person here (hello)
When it comes down to voice actors, there's a lot of them on the internet that work for free (I know some in cause you need'em, and I am one myself), you really just have to send them lines and they'll send you a video/audio recording, then BOOM you got your voices.
When it comes down to animation or drawing or anything related to art for your story, some good animation apps for free are flipaclip and blender (a little more complicated). However, flipaclip does not work on windows computers unless you use an APK like Bluestacks and proceed from there. Pricey ones would be Adobe Animate (monthly/annual cost) and Procreate Dreams (one-time purchase).
I can understand how chaotic life can be, so for scheduling, it's best to let someone help you with that if you can give them the best information as possible on when you're going to be busy, and when you're going to be free through the weeks.
hope this helps. not really the best advice, but I want your story to go well. Really excited for everyone's stories, really. good luck!
I alr have made the story for it, all charecters desinged(I didnt draw them lmao) and stuff. I will probs write a book abt it at the summer, learn how to draw and animate. This will help, tysm!:)
Ahh! Good luck on your artist journey, I fully support you! Love seeing new people take on art and fulfill their goals, and you seem really into this story, so now I'M into this story (even tho I barely know you, your story has officially caught my attention).
I wish you good luck with your book!!
@@2weird2be awww tysm!!
@@Jayoncrxcks ofc ofc!!
Im working on a silly and random cartoon that I’m slowly chipping progress into everyday with breaks here and there along with a few friends to do voice acting such as myself. It’s gonna be very comedic and action packed.
To substitute the fact I do not have much patience or skill to make the entire thing frame by frame I thought of moving them around as still images and changing their sprite at times. But it will fit the charm of the cartoon anyway so it’s a win win. And I will have frame by frame animation here and there with also rotoscope thrown in for humor aswell.
All while also having deep lore that eventually leads to an even bigger project I could potentially make in the far future.
Ooo I love that idea! And yeah, the patience part is understandable. I’ve seen a few pilots do the sprite movement technique. Glad you got everything planned! Good luck with your comedic/action-based pilot, dude! Seems like you’re really getting into it! Best of luck to your friends as well
@@2weird2be thanks
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Wow fantastically well done Video! As someone who studied Traditional animation and finally beginning to take the Indie plunge after copious yrs of a beaten down self esteem from insane animation instructors 😅
I have been working on a 2D hand drawn traditional short animation I call the Sussy Spaceship 🚀 😜
Currently finishing the Imposter pencil in-betweens, have my 1 scene background, story & character designs completed but not the final animations or color wah wah.
Yah what you said strengths & weaknesses or about things you like more than others in my case 😂 is 100% on the money 💰 Inbetweening has never been my favorite as I get bored of drawing the same thing to many times 🤷 go figure! Lol.
But I thank you for your extremely motivsting and inspirational video about your animation pilot because it's motivated me to get mine finished 😁👍🏼
"Keep Creatin' & Stay Classy!"
Another informative piece, very nice.
Im SO excited to watch Temple Legends! It looks amazing! Anyone else know it? It’s by an indie studio called temple lion studios
Omg me too! 🤩🤩🤩 hope episode one is coming soon!!!
I’ve seen this one too… could grow big!
I saw a poster for temple legends and was immediately interested! ⭐️
@@PlayfulGeniusEducation they are releasing more stuff about it! Very exciting!
I'm confused on why you shouldn't end on a cliffhanger. Wouldn't it make more sense cuz you would have people asking for a second episode cuz they need to see where it goes?
I'm trying to make my own pilot, and I think that these tips might help A LOT!
I’ve had this concept of a human-like husky named Jovi Nightrider who’s dream is to unravel the secrets of alternate realities and world-like dimensions, but i kind of have mixed feelings about it so what I’m going to do right now is use this same channel for my new one named (Omelette.Q) but also Thank you this really gives me a pump of motivation.
I'm just a little guy and probably won't be making a show anytime soon because I'm often busy and definitely an amateur but this will definitely be helpful for future reference :)
aw dude that's sad, I hope one day you do get the motivation to do something tho. Remember that age doesn't matter when creating shows :D
@@2weird2be :D 👍
Thank you for this video.
I'm making a pilot as well. Nice to know there are others there doing it
Hope your pilot goes well too dude!
@@2weird2be thank you!
@@themutupoguy No problem dude!!
finding something that works for me is mostly people who do stuff for me. for anything else its if I have a team it'd be the story os hard to shorten or communicate better
These tips are helping me very much that i will use later and am making a pilot animation called indila bun
Oooh I love the name on this one, quite original actually. Good luck with making it!!!
I have this sorta scrapped pilot idea and I’m thinking about picking it up again just to see how it’d do with UA-cam. My channel, despite this is really small, so I’m trying to build subs right now. Thanks for tips anyways!

Im 13 but i so want to make a pilot for the series for my ocs and its about a alien invasion and COOL FIGHTS
im just not sure where to look/start, i definitely need another decent writer to help but idk where ill find one willing to help!
i have a really cool idea for 2 series
lemme just tell the first one
so its a town about object headed characters
Gahh spill the lore I need it noww 😗
@@2weird2be cant spoil it
@@jackartbruh9404 NOOOO 😔
Sounds like a really cool concept honestly, go for it!
My idea for a pilot is about two siblings, with around 17 or 18 years. One is a girl that pratically is just trying to have a normal school life, but her brother (Grinsen) is a sociopath, and after a specific trauma, he's willing to do anything to get control and fame over his schoolmates, hoping one day he could actually control the whole country. I still dont have a proper script and I never tried to draw that much (aside from the Figures I do in my notebooks when I'm bored in class) but I do wish to at least give it a shot in this summer, probably I'll even improve drawing and writing skills
Edite: Forgot to mention that Grinsen would always be smiling or grinning, like Alastor, and The explanation would be Said later in the series
I’m 11 and I’m working on a pilot for a animated sci fi I was designing some characters while watching
Thats so cool! I'm twelve and I'm making mine too :D

“Improbable”
Real.
I'm currently working on an indie anime style series written by my dear friend, as well as my own series. I don't feel comfortable saying what they are called yet, for I am currently the storyboarding process on my friend's show and don't want anybody to steal the titles for the shows we've been working on LOL(I see too many tracers and copycats here on UA-cam 😂) I hope to release the first episode within the next 2-4 years, and already have a few animation tests on my channel(NOT self promoting by the way...)
By the way, Thank you for making this video. It boosted my motivation to animate even more! Also, I hope your pilot episode is a massive success!🎉🎉🎉
Ive watched alot of cartoons back through my childhood and now got interested to indie animation when i Watched TADC & Murder Drones. And also ive daydreamed alot about my dream indie show, its in my brain for a long time now. My indie show is called "AGENT 41" and its an inspiration to my favorite Game, Movie, and Indie Show: Max Payne, John Wick, Murder Drones etc.. (My indie show may contain some little bit of violence) but i still needed to improve my art and start animating but hope this inspires me and helped me this Year of 2025 and the future
I’m working on a three episode series with a story of this princess and poor witch saving the village from dragons
I love the witch and princess clash, definitely sensing either a besties bond or an enemies to close friends relationship!! Can't wait for this, gl!
@@2weird2be they actually get married but you are right that they are kinda enemies (witch steals an apple from princess to feed brothers) but not for long and though they become friends quickly and the princess falls for the witch pretty quickly as well, the witch takes until the dragons almost kill her to realise she loves the princess (enough to ignore other people’s homophobic and classest(?) opinions)
Also thanks very much for the encouragement :D
@@isamaple ofc ofc!
also oooo enemies to lovers is such an interesting relationship. While it's commonly used, it's how the relationship DEVELOPS that always intrigues me. Genuinely would've thought the witch falls for the princess first, but I like how it's the opposite. Usually, it's the dark characters that end up falling for the bright ones.
Tbh they become friends fast cuz the princess saw that the witch had no bad intentions (had to feed her little brothers during what was practically a famine).
Also Bella (princess) fell fast and hard lmao. She literally saw woman with pretty glowing (witch trait) eyes and was like “I’m in love”
But there is a bit of a rough process to fall in love because of the trauma Iris (witch) experiences when her native town left her to take care of her brothers by herself and called a witch hunter to like kill her off (she was 15 😥)
So basically Iris is very self conscious about people seeing her as different in this new kingdom and being in a gay relationship with someone of a way higher class even if they don’t find out she is a witch felt like too much to risk.
Because of this she flat out rejected Bella saying she doesn’t love her enough to over look that and Bella is left with her heart shattered.
Did I write too much?
welp, time to keep working on my oc animation/animatic
ahhh sounds like fun
That was super awesome and inspiring to watch! Awesome video.
So, first of all, this video was super helpful. I've gotten into animation, but haven't done any really big projects cause I wasn't totally sure how to do so. Definitely leaning more towards trying to give it a shot now.
It's probably going to be several years down the line since I'm just getting into animation, but I've got a comic I'm thinking about making a pilot episode for called Haunted Marshes. It's a slice of life horror comedy, if anyone's into that kind of thing. There's a little bit of stuff for it on tumbler, too, if anyone wants to see it.
Haunted Marshes sounds like an actually SICKKK name, and I can't wait to see it (yo where that tumblr page at tho).
It's understandable that you may be delayed with your pilot because of your new understanding of animation. You can also do animated webcomics, with just a bit of tweening here and there. One example of what I mean is "The Interpretation of Shadows" (search it on UA-cam and click on the comments of the shorts). Good luck with this!
It's just haunted-marshes on tumbler, all lower case and hyphenated. My goal is to do a sort of reboot of my old attempts at the comic pages i put on webtoon, since those are from when i just started didgital art. Hoping to work on that more by end of summer, fingers crossed, as well as playing with animation to get more comfortable with it. (I would put a link or something to the tumbler, but I'm not really sure if i can on mobile. I usually don't comment much)
@@FensRandomness Yeah, I wouldn't suggest putting a link regardless, since youtube may accidentally take that as a "scam link"
it'll be interesting to see your old art style comparing with your new one! I will search haunted-marshes up RIGHT NOW, really intrigued, fingers crosses as well for the reboot!
Working on a short about self doubt and art. 🖼️
