What They Don't Tell You About Running Your Own Indie Animation Studio By Yourself | STUDIO VLOG

Everyone comments on my videos wanting to be an aspiring anime creator or wanting to be the next MAPPA or Ufotable animator, but do they REALLY know what it takes to run an indie anime studio? Do they actually know about the time and work it ACTUALLY takes to put out even one piece of animation?
Stick around, chill out and let's talk about that.

I had a lot of leftover clips that I've been re-using for the past 30 TikToks, so I figured I'd compile a bunch of them together and make a sort of podcast/update vlog type of thing.
Indie animation on a low budget ain't all that cracked up to be, y'know?
Anyways, if you'd like to help me in the short run, support me on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/spywimusic

[@AnimatorDude]

I have a suggestion why are you not stalling your animation course ? it's help to make money
btw I am from India that's why my english is not so good, sorry 😅

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I am not qualified to teach a whole animation course. Better to just focus on my own thing than try to do something else. Otherwise I’ll never finish my animations.

@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations What model of tablet are you using?

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I believe it’s an M2 iPad Pro but idk, the type of tablet you use doesn’t matter, it’s more so how you use it than how expensive it is. 👍

[@ReaTheArtist]

I know how you feel. As an animator myself, it’s hard to keep things up to date, and not only that, you’re only one person who is doing almost all of the work. And besides it’s hard to acquire any assistance from other people since I’m afraid of asking strangers or people who are known for doing the anime animation production line or good at art. But I try not let that discourage me because with time, something will come.
All I can say is, keep doing your best! No matter how long it takes to make your animations, know that you got this, Spywi!

[@HanayoSora]

Keep up the good work Spywi!

[@Evilirongaming]

Yeah so I’ve had a story planned out in my head and I wanted to jump write into the pilot but I decided to make a manga instead

[@Liper21]

What’s the name of the manga? Are you uploading it online or did you find a way to publish it?

[@Evilirongaming]

@@Liper21 it’s no where near done but when it is it’s gonna be called the prince or the prince of ghosts and in wanna make it a real manga if possible

[@CrisCraig]

maybe start with a like 2-3 min animation? like a music video or something

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I’ve literally been doing that (my last few animation videos have been 1-3 minutes)

[@rakedos9057]

Dong Chang is really a blessing for any beginner. His content is so good. It's very hard to get content like that.
For your content, you don't have to do editing like Mr Beast for sure! This video is good enough for me, and too much editing can be too much for the viewers too.
Some may come to learn (like you said) and so we are not here for flashy multiple cuts. We are here for knowledge.

[@kloa4219]

well designed too. it is compact so people like me will review it multiple times

[@leemooreStudio]

I've been working on getting a team of animators together as well. However, my funds are low. In the meantime I been animating, coloring, audio mixing, and compositing the scenes all on my own. While also having a full-time job, being a foster parent for two kids, and being a husband. It's tough these days. I've also been thinking about giving up on animation in general. Does it really pay off in the long run.

[@camabrickjunior264]

Im your biggiest Fan!!!!!!!

[@ChoompaLoompa1985-uw8lw]

Hey man. How do you find animators to help you? Through fiver, or here on youtube?

[@bokosanimation]

What are your thoughts on using AI in animation, I have seen some people using AI for inbetweens and coloring it's not perfect but impressive

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

The software you’re thinking of has long existed before “Generative AI” was even a thing, so as long as it’s not using one of the generative AI models out there, it’s more ethical to use.
THAT BEING SAID, the automatic processes will still create incorrect/inconsistent/generic in-betweens without intention. Properly spacing your cels and lines with intention will always look miles better than just your typical “generate frames exactly in between frame A and B”.
Bottom line, as long as it’s not generative AI then there can be a use-case for it, but not all the time. I don’t personally use it but if it saves time for studios then idk that’s their process, not mine.

[@raining_marbles]

Really enjoyed how you talk about the insights you've gained along the way my dude. Keep up the good work (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)b

[@marquisartuis]

informative, if you need people to help you do flats i'd be down. I own csp ex and i would love to learn how you handle your animation works im trying to see how your workflow is to handle projects i wanna do

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I’m currently not hiring animators at the moment.

[@marquisartuis]

@@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations fair enough

[@JuanThaSilva]

You need to organize a lot.

[@SpywisMindPalaceAnimations]

I made an entire video about my super-productive organization process for running my anime studio.
