      It's not like they're forced to it take about nine months to make one episode of Family Guy so they outsource it to save time and money. There are still plenty of places to animate in house.

      they have premade templates drawn already so they just put the templates together to form an episode, it probably only takes them a week or so to make one episode

      +eerniizz Actually, I heard it can take up to eight months just to make one episode. It isn't unlikely, seeing as how some Bob's Burger's episodes take a year to make. They just make them all at the same time, and the voice actors record the whole season in about two weeks.

    • @AnimationWizard
      @AnimationWizard 8 років тому +45

      its a budgeted show, unlike anime they dont draw each and every frame, they simply create the limbs and shit as symbols and move the symbols a little bit, ive seen the streams, rick and morty all do the same style, moving the symbols a little bit, these may take awhile to make, for example its gonna take 2 months of aniamtion to complete a 10 minute scene in rick and morty and thats moving symbols around a little bit at a time, in anime it may take 10 months to make 10 minutes (depending on the quality)

      I don't think it's a joke. It's a way to keep production moving. Since people over there are awake while we're asleep, that makes the animation process 24 hours aday. I'm pretty sure Dreamworks and Disney do the same thing.

      Sal Khan animation is regularly outsourced to Korea and India. Read the credits of many animated movie and shows and you will find a large clump of Indian and Korean names. It's way cheaper, since everything can be shared online, to pay a 20 Koreans that 20 Americans living in LA

    • @reversalmushroom
      @reversalmushroom 9 років тому +7

      toddthefoxify But Seth MacFarlane is a liberal. That means that he thinks that corporations and the rich are screwing over this country by hoarding all their money for themselves, so isn't it hypocritical of him to hold that viewpoint while having his show animated in Korea instead of the US?

    • @toddthefoxify
      @toddthefoxify 9 років тому +17

      I agree 100%
      I work in the animation field and more jobs are sent to Asia every year. It sucks.
      Seth MacFarlane isn't a guy out to change the world, he's a guy with a shitty TV cartoon trying to wrestle cash from young white American males age 18-35. It might make me cynical but the truth is that's the way everybody does it. Fox certainly won't pay for Americans to animate it.

    Q: How did Family guy looked advanced in animation back in the late 2000s?
    A: The backgrounds were digitally traced. And the characters were hand drawn on paper, with very thin ink to blend with the background, and cleaned up some streaks left behind. Then finally placed on a scanner, and was digitally colored on a computer of course.

    Sort of pointless to title a video "Animating 'The Family Guy' and 'American Dad'" , and then there is absolutely NOTHING about the animation other than a vague mention of: “and then the animatic is sent off to Korea where the final animation process is completed" ... hey WSJ , storyboarding and editing animatics , is not animation. It’s true that the script writing and storyboarding is the heart of a show like this where the animation is sort of incidental ... the show pretty much plays just as well if you turn the picture off and just listen to it , the animation is pretty lackluster for the most part , but at least if you're going to claim to make a video about "Animating 'The Family Guy' , why not show something of how it is actually done in the Korean animation studio?

    As nice as the cheap labour is for production studios, it puts a TON of North American's out of the job due to all of the outsourcing to China, Korea, and India.

      Might be lack of education, laziness and complete disregard for anything other than entertainment and getting wasted that is putting a ton of north 'muricans out of jobs. If you want the job, do it better and cheaper than the competition. Many 'muricans want everything easy. If it don't come easy, we get someone else to do it.
