Hello can you make a video about the existential threat the Ritz company has introduced with their recent partner ship with a castor oil company known to have sold off ricin to middle eastern militia groups?
Other UA-camrs: "Guys I'm working on a massive project, you'll see in a few days!' Kurzgesagt: "You'll see what we're working on right now in a year... or two"
Hey Aci! Didn't expect to see you her, been a huge fan of your channel for years. When I started playing subnautica back when it was still only like a year or two into early access you helped me out alot and I loved watching you videos! Keep up the great work!
@@shadymedic i mean yeah, they worked hard. But i wouldn't exactly call those games the hallmark of hard work. they arent exactly that complicated and consist of mostly storytelling, which isnt a bad thing
I feel like I need the narrator in my life on a device: "It's time to get up and start the day. Completing today's tasks will provide a positive mindset and improve your mental health."
@@mozkitolife5437 Yeah ofc even his voice is soothing, but like for motivation with life or for like a powerful speech of facts as you said, this Narrator's (forgot name sry) voice is befitting too. It's not the YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU WANT TO *intense bg music* type typical cliché motivation speech people's voices, but more gentle, interesting and you're more likely to understand and implement what he says.
"Today, we will be discussing the uprising of the banana army, which may have happened in a parallel universe where pigs have taken the place of humans"
This is one of the few channels where I stop basically everything I'm doing, go straight to 1080p60 fullscreen and just enjoy the video. I love the combination of the sound design, animation and narration, they all mix so well together that it really just feels like I'm in the world of Kurzgesagt.
What is breaking when something notable happens and becomes news? Always breaking but what thr f is the thing always in the process of breaking... weird. I doubt that anything can break that often and still be mentioned all the time.
And why would the tv always want to remind us it is breaking stuff.. especially news. Break them to pieces and usually find only unrecognizable bits and pieces that make no sense and yet are discussed and discussed and discussed over and over and over and over. It is indeed discussed intelligently and respectfully and responsibly and to the point as well as generally in a... the breaking news thing is brilliant. Break more news its so helpful and reassuring.
for anybody who wanted to know: 1200 hours = (1)50 days. if they have around 12 people working on a video with 5 work days where they would work for 8 hours, that could result to 150 working days (3600 hours minus 14 hours if they worked for 8 hours each day, 1,200 hours of work.)
I think we all sometimes take for granted how time consuming and difficult these videos are to make. The group behind Kurzgesagt doesn't have to put this much effort into every video, and yet they do. Somehow, amazingly, they have hand-crafted a channel that excels in both quality AND quantity. Thank you Kurzgesagt, for being awesome!
That is absolutely true. Technicaly they don’t have to put much effort into content the same way that I don’t have to put much effort in my job as a teacher. But if I enjoy what I do and would like to keep my job and be an attractive employee I should make an effort. We as consumers are, most of the time, blissfully unaware of the amout of work that goes into all the products we consume.
As an animator I was always fascinated by the character design + animation style of each video. Especially how you guys make microorganisms look so colourful and cute. Very diverse styles. Truly appreciate the work, stay awesome! 😎
Every single animated character, every design is so beautiful. The narrator’s voice is soo beautiful. The fact that they even put the research papers at the bottom right hand side for us to research is so beautiful. Subscribing to this channel has been one of the best things I have done so far, thanks people .
@@WhyNotEveryone I'd be seriously concerned if someone thought OP truly believed this channel was run by birds. Contrarily, I'm pretty sure the narrator is actually a bird
“Improving your animation quality is always great, but what engages people is the story that you’re telling” - Alan Becker, the master of stick figures. 1:00
8. UPLOAD - Once the video is done, it is uploaded to UA-cam and set to "unlisted" where unqualified team members have an opportunity to write "first" in the comment section. First!!!
I Really didn’t realise how much effort and hardwork Kurzgesagt puts into a single video. Now, I know. To Kurzgesagt: Keep doing what you do, and above all, know that there are people who love and appreciate your work. You’re honestly one of The Best channels on UA-cam. Lots of love, A fan. 💕
Now apply this sort of thinking to everything, because the process is essentially the same for meaningfully creating anything. The amount of effort we collectively pour into our works, as a species, is absolutely, unimaginably staggering.
CHIEF CHILI Yea, you gotta appreciate the effort they out into their videos and it really shows, these are some of the most educational and interesting videos I’ve ever seen.
i just love how everything is portrayed, like they live in this epic treehouse of legends and then like, everything's amazing inside, i wish this place was real so i could just chill inside
The narrator bird just learnt English and has a deep voice for a bird He's still a bird had to watch again in 2023 because this is the most fun and best way to teach and I've learnt quite a bit off stuff from
Feels so strange hear the narrator talk in first person. Seriously tho, is this the first video he’s used “I” in a sentence? Edit: first time in reference to himself as a person and not a quote or acting as a character such as in “the egg”
dude they only copy Kurzgesagt (the origial and german channel) they get all the wiews while Kurzgesagt animates and narattes the only thing they do is changing up the language
i really hope the kurzgesagt team sees this ; if you guys ever wonder the impact you've made, remember that you've inspired and changed so many lives over the course of this couple of years. i'm a highschool student in a third world country who believed that i was not academically gifted 2 years ago, then just before i started highschool i found this channel which heighten my curiosity and revealed my secret interest in astronomy, i educated myself with topics that my school doesn't provide and look for more channels and sources like you guys to feed my growing brain. who would've guessed, i excelled my school's standardized tests and become one of the top students. your videos helped me that, all i needed was a glimpse of the knowledge that i could learn and my curiosity continued the rest, i've learned to love studying because of you! you made traditional method teaching to shame. so thank you, you helped a teenage girl to realize how much she's missing out and how beautiful science can be. sending lots of love for the kurzgesagt team! your animations made learning less boring than it used to be.
The narrator's voice is so good that UA-cam's auto generated captions can tell what he's saying. EDIT: I see a lot of replies about saying that it was written, but there is an auto-generated too
to be fair though, youtube's auto generated captions are actually very good. like, the only things that they really make mistakes are when multiple people are talking at once/someone's talking over a loud noise, or when someone's using words that aren't in the dictionary (eg subnautica is not a word that it'll recognize). it's improved a ridiculous amount from when it first started.
@@timez957 yeah that's what i meant about it not being ablt to recognize non-that language words. kurzegesagt is a german word, and it's expecting english, so it just tried its best.
I will FOREVER love you're art style. I really like the UI designs of apple with the simplistic, glossy, and round design and this art style definitely reminds me of it. Keep up the greate work and great topics!
JJ Being skeptical is a very important skill, it keeps us from remembering things that aren’t true. And in bonus makes us thing more about the questions we want asked. (Helping us develop our own reasoning and world view. In turn making us more interesting people.)
I never bothered to think about how much work is put into these videos, from researching an idea to creating and animating designs to importing sounds to bring a usually 7 - 12 minute video to life.
They dont have to train birds. The birds used are just animated graphics on a computer screen. No birds are harmed in the making of any of their videos.
when he said, dont feel obligated though, I felt like selling my heart to help them stay afloat, since I dont yet have any spare money. Love from india, love your work and I can totally see the hardwork that has been put in each of these videos. A sincere thankyou to keep my curosity alive.
Kurzgesagt now feels more of a high-budget show than a UA-cam channel. Just amazing to see you guys doing it all for free (well, with Patreon and Merchandise help). (By free, I meant the part where we can watch and use it for free)
Wow! I always think that your merch is only clothes and plushies but there are (Informatic) posters, notebooks and other gadgets. I will buy some of these for sure!
Dear writers and editors of Kurzgesagt, Thank you for being transparent about how you make your factual videos on various topics. As there are a few organizations (some of which are UA-cam channels themselves) who don’t even show how they research their topics they research. The video you made how you make your videos gives me hope for the future of transparency and factual information. Keep up the good work and I do have a suggestion for a topic you can do. Is it possible you can do a video about fact checking? I think it would be interesting. Sincerely, Connor Compton
This is the third time I have watched this video, and I am still encouraged and inspired to make creative ways of practically and effectively sharing information/knowledge to our out-of-school youths in our local communities here. It also reminded me again of your Team's noble work and dedication. Thank you very much, again, to each of you in the K Team for all the creative videos you had developed and shared to us all these years!
0:40 "We want to explain complicated things and make sciency things fascinating" The animations and the voice of Steve Taylor make the videos amazing. I haven't seen one video of Kurzgesagt I haven't liked. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the time those 2-3 illustrators take to animate the videos? *Thank you*
I have no idea why but I just got CHILLS when he said “Now, it’s my turn.” Like this disembodied voice has been teaching us from up above for years and then suddenly he’s THERE. Like, I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like if you played The Stanley Parable and the narrator just walked out the door in front of you.
we've been so used to referring to him in our minds as a passive tool that feeds us information, when the narrator breaks the fourth wall it gives him more of an identity in our minds
1) Create a script 0:55 = Search for a topic, and tries to reflect fact base views also verified by professionals this takes few weeks and years to complete 2) illustrations 1:42 = creating visuals using adobe illustrator, 2/3 illustrators speand 8-12weeks illustrating the video 3) Narration 2:28 = this is recorded in a studio 4) Animation 2:50 = scenes need to be animated, use adobe after effects to make things move, takes 8-10 weeks 5) Music Sound design 3:33 = sound cloud and Spotify, also sound effects to make it sound realistic.
2:28 the line "now it's my turn" felt like the most secret hidden boss moment in kurzgesagt history. as heartless as it sounds, i literally never thought about the fact that the narrator is a person (which i guess you could argue just means he's good at his job)
And the part I find the funniest is the script writer is probably the one who wrote “and now it’s my turn” knowing that it would be said by the narrator
I really love you guys' artstyle, I personally am trying to recreate it when I make infographics for school projects and stuff cuz I love it so so much
after a lot of pausing, counting, and calculator stuff, I can conclude there has been about 201 individual birds in this episode who needed this information? well I did... I doubt you did, but here you go
This is basically the best channel on UA-cam according to me. I, literally like all the videos before it is even 5 seconds from the start, because I trust the content as well as quality of its videos full fledgedly. Keep doing this awesome stuff and keep making this amazing videos!
Ah as a german myself I would really enjoy you guys figuring out how to pronounce Kurzgesagt. 😁 But hey in a nutshell is enough, as long as you all have fun with the videos🥳✌
When you said, “... to the ten millionth,” I thought you were being hyperbolic until I saw your sub count. Time really flies, huh? I remember this channel at 800,000.
The narrator doesnt know, but he is very important to me. When i started studying english, Kurzgesagt was the very first thing i could hear and fully understand without subtitles. Thanks for talking so clearly and smoothly. You guys teach us in ways you can never imagine.
Kurzgesagt: "We want to explain complicated things in an easily graspable way" Also Kurzgesagt: "Lets disintegrate a pLuMbUs" +edit: you guys are all cultured people for noticing the plumbus and yeah though I'm a bit too late on editing this comment, it's on the bottom right corner at 00:38
Where was that, i dont see it, I love trying to find easter eggs or noticiing the lil sounds, movements and txt bubbles Sometimes takesva 2nd or 3rd watch throo cuz i get absorbed in the video as a whole lol

@@timez957 yeah that's what i meant about it not being ablt to recognize non-that language words. kurzegesagt is a german word, and it's expecting english, so it just tried its best.
This is really appreciable but UA-cam is quite relatable cause it has difficulty understanding the name of the channel😂😅
@@shadowfire04 true, but only for english, in the other languages the auto caption is just messed up
Plot twist: Kurzgesagt has been around since the beginning of time and the topics were shown through cave drawings or paintings.
I will FOREVER love you're art style. I really like the UI designs of apple with the simplistic, glossy, and round design and this art style definitely reminds me of it. Keep up the greate work and great topics!

Kurzgesagt: Quality over Quantity
The Infographics Show: Quantity over Quality
hahahahahahahha so true
@@HughMongusJazzhole not even close lol
@@HughMongusJazzhole Quality videos? Have you ever seen a fact check of their content?
JJ Being skeptical is a very important skill, it keeps us from remembering things that aren’t true. And in bonus makes us thing more about the questions we want asked. (Helping us develop our own reasoning and world view. In turn making us more interesting people.)
I used to like the on inforgraphic show but it started to just get silly
Kurzgesagt means "in short" or basically "in a nutshell".
So this video is:
"In a Nutshell - In a Nutshell, in a nutshell"
Give this man a medal.
In a nutshell - In a nutshell - How to make a In a nutshell video in 1200 hours
Inception.
SAD in a nutshell noises
Yes
I never bothered to think about how much work is put into these videos, from researching an idea to creating and animating designs to importing sounds to bring a usually 7 - 12 minute video to life.
I'm crying because of how much time they spend only for us viewers
ikr
Ikr as well
I know right, KURZGESAGT is amazing.
Ikr too
I cried too
I thought the hardest part would be training the birds.
Turn out bird will risk their lives for science
They dont have to train birds. The birds used are just animated graphics on a computer screen. No birds are harmed in the making of any of their videos.
@Lekha Solomon Im pretty sure there must be some kind of Birb Recovery Center based on the fact that they keep coming back
I thought the hardest part was not to kill the birds and destroy the whole universe.

Kurzgesagt now feels more of a high-budget show than a UA-cam channel.
Just amazing to see you guys doing it all for free (well, with Patreon and Merchandise help).
(By free, I meant the part where we can watch and use it for free)
indeed
Lol
No one works for free. Someone owns the channel and he has employees who get a paycheck. They do not care where or which stuff they animate or edit.
@@laufdemkamp Dude, read my comment properly. I meant it being free for *us* to *see* and *use* .
I wouldn’t say they’re doing for free, but I do like that anyone with a UA-cam account can watch their videos for free.

Dear writers and editors of Kurzgesagt,
Thank you for being transparent about how you make your factual videos on various topics. As there are a few organizations (some of which are UA-cam channels themselves) who don’t even show how they research their topics they research. The video you made how you make your videos gives me hope for the future of transparency and factual information.
Keep up the good work and I do have a suggestion for a topic you can do. Is it possible you can do a video about fact checking? I think it would be interesting.
Sincerely,
Connor Compton

@Mr. Meinung okay mister Opinion
This is the third time I have watched this video, and I am still encouraged and inspired to make creative ways of practically and effectively sharing information/knowledge to our out-of-school youths in our local communities here. It also reminded me again of your Team's noble work and dedication. Thank you very much, again, to each of you in the K Team for all the creative videos you had developed and shared to us all these years!
Why is the narrator’s voice so calming?
The german translation is even calmer
"the sound effects... many of you dont recognize them" - but you feel them
Especially the nuke ones
i feel like i never hear the narrator say "I" so that was wierd
It feels like some fourth-wall stuff, doesn't it?
It help keep an objective standpoint tho
Because he doesn't work alone, probably.

"We want to explain complicated things and make sciency things fascinating"
The animations and the voice of Steve Taylor make the videos amazing. I haven't seen one video of Kurzgesagt I haven't liked. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the time those 2-3 illustrators take to animate the videos?
*Thank you*
There are 3 Illustrators and 3 Animators as i understood🙊 And yes, we should appreciate them!

2) grow a German mouth

"Korts-gezargt"
Curds egg asked
I have no idea why but I just got CHILLS when he said “Now, it’s my turn.” Like this disembodied voice has been teaching us from up above for years and then suddenly he’s THERE. Like, I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like if you played The Stanley Parable and the narrator just walked out the door in front of you.
Why would you say something controversial yet so true
Seeing the narrator would be amazing
T H E R E D B U T T O N S T A N L E Y
THE RED BUTTONNNNNN
It’s called breaking the fourth wall, apparently it’s supposed to mentally creep you out or shock you.
we've been so used to referring to him in our minds as a passive tool that feeds us information, when the narrator breaks the fourth wall it gives him more of an identity in our minds
1) Create a script 0:55 = Search for a topic, and tries to reflect fact base views also verified by professionals this takes few weeks and years to complete
2) illustrations 1:42 = creating visuals using adobe illustrator, 2/3 illustrators speand 8-12weeks illustrating the video
3) Narration 2:28 = this is recorded in a studio
4) Animation 2:50 = scenes need to be animated, use adobe after effects to make things move, takes 8-10 weeks
5) Music Sound design 3:33 = sound cloud and Spotify, also sound effects to make it sound realistic.
2:28 the line "now it's my turn" felt like the most secret hidden boss moment in kurzgesagt history. as heartless as it sounds, i literally never thought about the fact that the narrator is a person (which i guess you could argue just means he's good at his job)
It's not a person, it's a bird
Bird person 🐣
And the part I find the funniest is the script writer is probably the one who wrote “and now it’s my turn” knowing that it would be said by the narrator
