wow they put in so much work only for people to watch it for about 2 hours, criticise it then forget all about it. All those people who worked so hard don't even get their name out... and yet they still want to create more and more, I've always loved animation, learning about, trying my best to improve my art work but I must say, all these people are just so amazing, I hope they've realised what an inspiration they are and how amazing their work is, whole world's are created because of them!
Well appreciation within the community so its not all bad. All it takes is one person to message you and tell you how much your work inspired them. Its a great feeling that lasts, so message the artists that have inspired you and make their day :)
They get money
what do you mean not get their name out kappa, credits are there for a god damn reason.
Jiro Chiam and everyone looks at the credits don't they
All because they love their job.
I've heard so many people say stuff like "CG Animation killed 2D animation because it's cheaper to make" or "It's just computer generated so it's not as artistic as hand-drawn animation". Absolutely not true! The animators spend so much time to make sure that every frame looks beautiful and amazing, and it's one several-year giant group project to do it. There is no "Animate Button", and "computer generated" doesn't mean there's any less work. Every frame is designed, controlled, inspected, touched up, and scrutinized (and it's not an exaggeration-- literally every single frame is looked at closely. Those "everything wrong with ____" videos really annoy me because of that lol)
How to Train Your Dragon took 165 million to make, Tangled took 260 million.... it takes a lot of time and labor to make these fantastic films. 2D Animation is of course also beautiful, but I don't believe CG is any less artistic than those beautiful classics. We've reached a time when CG film is just as versatile and flexible as 2D with the help of creative, problem-solving minds (i.e. The Peanuts Movie, Zootopia, Paperman, etc.)
Those are my 2 cents. Oh, also they didn't include rendering for some reason, rendering is the final step in which the computer has to calculate the light reflections and refractions in every frame so it doesn't look wireframe/grayscale/flat colored like it does in the software. Each frame can take anywhere from several hours to days to render, which is a lot considering each 1 second of screentime has at least 24 frames in it. For Pixar to render Monsters University, it took them over 100 million CPU hours. Most studios buy a large collection of computers, or a "render farm", to make the process go much faster.
That's because the actors are given first credits when the movie is out and people think that it's the actors who make the movie.
yeah,believe me,i use Blender,it took alot of effort,time to model.F for u my man
hello.how to sell a 3d cartoon serial and how much could an episode yield nowadays ? thank you.
True words.
3D is easy till you have to render
This is actually a really creative way to explain the pipeline and somewhat educate people, compliments to the screenwriters for such a creative idea

this video is perfect to explain to people what we artists do!
i totally agree with you !!
"we artists"!
yeah... we artists
Sivan Goundar not artists, animation team.
I'm a modeling artist, usually dealing with CGI. Sometimes with animation too.
they forgot one of the biggest and most time consuming things: rendering!
they didnt want to show all the render farms they have lol
Computers are pretty fast these days, rendering's not an issue anymore.
Enceos lol nah it still is QUITE an issue. thats why companies have render farms so they can speed up the process of production.
im working in animation right now and a scene with say 400 frames if all set up and lighted can take 3 days to a week to render depending on the project scope.
try to render a scene from UP on your computer and watch it sit there for about a month or so trying to compute all those photons lol
its not so much computer being faster its the graphics cards ability to actually read whats being computed by the porgram and then trying to make it into a format thats easier to view at your local movie theater. while at the same time keepig a very high standard of quality. so its actually become more expensive, but as you can imagine all the millions poured into hollywood can pay for things like this.
_"Computers are pretty fast these days, rendering's not an issue anymore."_
Dude, are you serious? Have you ever tried to render a professional 3D-clip on a regular computer. It fucking sucks to do, boo.
Ever since my studio shifted to Redshift rendering we've gotten used to seeing our renders done the next day! Pretty convenient for a small VFX studio on tight timelines. Vray/Renderman still take a bloody eternity, however the quality is better.
Wow, those clean up guys didn't get much love (13:38).
only one thing worse than being in cleanup... doing the dialog and foley.
berry jordaan people who do folery love their job, atleast in game design
They where cleaned up from the video =(

And you forgot rendering

I don't care what anyone says. This is in my opinion the best behind the scenes tutorial of all time.
I'm so happy this was created. This really increases my insight of what steps and people it takes to create a CG animated film. Thank you DreamWorks!
They make a movie...without rendering
Lumcoin
...or doing foley or dialog. That's what happens if you leave things up to the penguins.
I guess lighting kind of counts as the final render.
berry jordaan I think foley and diologue count as sound design. They only talked about music, but there's more to it than that. As far as rendering goes, it's an inportant part of the movie making process, but it's not really a skill.
Lumcoin how the the heck is that freaking possible!?
I just turned 16 and I am in college. I am watching this for my 3D animation class for digital media. I am working on this at 9:49 PM. My mother walked in (scaring me) and saw what I'm watching and she said "I thought you were doing homework." :(
This makes it hard to believe that CG is this much cheaper than Hand drawn Animation
well it depends if you are doing cheap hand drawn animation with art that isn't fancy its cheaper
also CGI is harder any body can draw on paper but you have to be a math genius to make cgi
you do not need to be a math genius to make cgi, it takes a specific set of skills like any job
Shane Marshall maybe that is true but 2d is still quicker and cheaper you don't need to spend 4 years on a 2d cartoon and no mater how cheap you make it and nomater how many corners you cut it still looks good
Generally it is not. If you google budgets of different movies you'll see that high-quality 2D animation is still cheaper than high-quality 3D animation. (i.e. Mulan cost 70 million, whereas Tangled cost 260 million.) People just stopped consuming 2D animation as much and wanted only to watch 3D animation, so it became unsustainable to keep making 2D animation. Maybe there will be a 2D animation revival someday though!
I just have to say - I'm so glad that Dreamworks made this - EVEN if just for the few who would need it. (And of course, for the ones who would find joy in gawking at it :)
Dreamworks really is amazing l love them
Nice profile Pic
What about blue sky studios , illumination entertainment and Sony pictures animation
@@theamazingandtalentedblake8296 If you think minions is at the same level as How To Train Your Dragon, I don't know what to tell you.

As someone who wants to be an animator when they grow up, this is SO COOL!! SO HELPFUL!!! I knew most of these, but some departments I had no idea existed!
Such a great way to introduce kids to what goes into a movie! I'm showing my kids tomorrow!

Thank you Dreamworks, so much hard work putted in one movie.
And people can’t even sit through the credits to allow these artists to get their recognition 😔
man, I really want to be an animator or story board maker.
Celina Groen then go for it!
Start now!
Even if you do manage to make a movie it's gonna be shit anyways, so don't even think about it!
***** that's not true, if this person works and practices hard enough there's a chance they could make it into a big company like Disney or DreamWorks animation
L Lawliet -Rhyuzaki- You know there's been movies that have failed in the box office before and it's always happened. Sure he may become an animator and everything but he should worry more about how good a movie will turn out. Everyone nowadays are just criticizing films but that's usually before they even get a chance to see it like Ghostbusters 2016. Plus there are new animated films coming out this year that I think are going to be shit like "The Boss Baby" and "The Emoji Movie." Even though I haven't watched those films yet I have the right to criticize them as the purpose of the movie trailers is to give us an idea if the movie will be any good or not before we see them. Unless this person can handle all the hatred he'll get from his own movie regardless how good the animation is, I'd suggest he gets a different hobby to make a living out of.
13:00 made me think of Death Note
Misa: I would never dream of living in a world without Light!
L: Yes it would be dark.

I hope they get paid very good. Their art work is the reason a lot of people are the way they are now because of all the childhood movies that inspired us while growing up.
a lot of work...
As someone in the industry... "a lot of work" is a huge understatement!
The scope of a 2 hour movie like Madagascar is ENORMOUS... 10's of thousands of man-hours combined.. if not more. But if you love what you do then it's fun ;)
Advection357 I agree 100% what area do you specialize in I'm in animation currently polishing my skills in creatures and learning rigging
I'm a generalist... a bit of everything :-)
I LOVE this. I don’t think I’ve seen a more easy to understand, yet thorough breakdown of a major studio’s pipeline (or any studio for that matter), especially at this quality. This covers the basics so well. Thanks for posting!
One of the guys I went to school with (in Australia), Pieter Lommerse, was always drawing really good comics at school. And he’s spent over 20 years now working as a Director of Creative Affairs in the Animation Industry for Disney. Goes to show that all that “time wasting” at school (teachers’ words) can turn into a great career.
This is amaaaazing!!! Never have I EVER seen a company explain its work pipeline in such an entertaining way LOVED IT❤
"not all our stories are completely original"
remembers Antz
"Tougher than making a SOUP SANDWICH!"
Well I'll be using that...
I must admit that I thought CGI was less labour intensive than old school 2D imaging, that’s why, after watching a heap of Dust shorts, I went looking for videos like this so I could truly understand the amount of work & talent involved. I appreciate the final results & am now gobsmacked at the results that are achieved with small budgets, when every frame is done by hand & there are 24fps. 😳 Awesome work by these creators!
This is exactly why I can't really enjoy watching movies or animations, I constantly get reminded that it took the work of so many talented people just to create this masterpiece infront of me
Who watched just for HTTYD lol
meeee lol. clicked because of the thumbnail
Meeeeeeee lmao
wish I could work at DreamWorks in the future...-_-
scrat mavis shake and one day you might be delusional enough to believe you are
yes iam
Me too
As an aspiring writer for animation, "story," is my favorite stop in the pipeline.
I love how in almost every single shot, there’s either a reference or scene about Httyd haha, love the work put into this.
Toy Story 1 is what inspired me to become a 3D Artist, best decision in my life.
Hey I know it’s been five years and afterrrr that I’m here but I’m a young girl aspiring to pursue my career in animation can you tell me how it’s like to be a animatior ?
@@voidinwonderland hey, it's a very awesome and creative job, from creating 3D models, texturing and giving them colors to basically animate them into a composition using lights and place them into an environment, telling a story and seeing your creation rendered is a very satisying feeling. You have to really like it and being extremely passionate about it, it's the sort of thing " chose what you like to do and you won't have to work again"! Good luck!
This is perfect for me! I actually wanna be an animator for dream works or universal ;) I am really used to 2D animation and I am soon going onto blender ( even though I already have it.) i suggest for people starting out on 3D animation use blender cause it's free and you can see if you like 3D animation.
The editor himself makes the first voice over, adds some music to make a good judgement. This is sooo great so professional. I didn’t know that.
Which software ??
8:52
So thats what hiccup looks like without armor/clothes.
My curiosity is now satisfied.
Know, i know how to make an animation movie.. im going to make it....
Sbriser ★ I have stories can you help me in creating them in animation
Know, it's time to learn English, mate
Haahahahaha,, Know, that's funny
You now English too? 😃
It will take you sooo long to finish a movie 😂
Okay this is amazing I wish I could meet all these people they’re all so talented!!!!
I'm going to college to study 2D and 3D animation next year, this really broadened my understanding of the industry and was super fun to watch!!!
Dont depend on the school to give you a good portfolio and job. What you do in your free time with the tools they give you is very important
@@hotcheetos304 best piece of advice right here
don't waste your time and money,i truly learned 2D and 3D animation on the internet!!,for free!!
Storyboarding a storyboard..Dreamworks your awesome.
8:33
amazing animation, would watch again 10/10
-oscar
It still took more effort than monster school animators because you still keyframe the bounces with basic graph
I kind of think the Voice Actors feel a bit left out. :P
True
they always get the spotlight, glad everyone is getting attention
+jmalmsten They made a silent film hahaha.
Talk shows: We show actors!
Also talk shows: Allow an Executive and/or Actor to represent an entire movie.
Very interesting! I knew they draw storyboards, but I didn't know they actually turn them into animated draft blueprints.
This stuff is so inspirational. I like to watch these videos while working on a 3d model to give me motivation.
2:44 "Shiitake mushrooms!"
I see what you did there.
I'm planning to study animation because since i was small i been writing a story and on programs and sites like Hyuns' Dojo and Flipnote Hatena i show my story and they like it. Even though i was bad at drawing i advance over time and i loved it over time. After seeing this and researching over the years i feel like i can do it but i still need help. Thank God for friends and other people for help and advice. :) Thanks to all the Animators, Directors, actors and more, thanks for making Great, wonderful movies that inspired us to do what we do and think what we think :D. Without some of these movies we might not have the imagination or ideas like we have today :D.
Know that you can be a great animator without drawing skills as well :) At least when working with stuff like vfx, 3d animation or stop-motion.
I want to animate my own web series too. Too bad I *suck* at animation. Making a series is way too expensive so the only way I could do it is if I do it myself since there is literally no animator on this planet who would work for free. You and I are in the same boat pal, only you started before me

2:39 what the hell is around his stylus o,o
+Yuuva i guess it is for a more comfy grip
+Yuuva Custom grip, either for comfort or a different feel. I used to use rubber bands or foam to fatten up my Wacom stylus to that of a large Sharpie when I'd switch out to the felt marker tip.
+Yuuva I don't know what the other reply's are talking about. It's used so that your fingers don't stick to your screen/tablet.
They're talking about the stylus, not the drawing glove
it's a grip
8:40 My Dream Job !
I really want to get into multimedia arts and animation, but I just have to figure out what t I actually want to do. I think modeling, the story board sketching, or the animating part is what I'm most interested in right now.
Time, patient skills, resources and teamwork. Amazing work!!
Love Dreamworks the most!!
What renderer are they using?
+Song Moralde they use 3delight.com its rendeman
Thank you! :)
+CGMeetup THOSE COPYCATS, RENDERMAN IS PIXAR'S SOFTWARE
+Bounce Animation Pixar sells their older versions of it to make money off the competition & juice creativity in the industry. It's kind of a win all around. Competition makes a film & they make money, competition does something they haven't they learn from it, & since they make it they'll always be a step ahead with whatever they're doing in house.
+Jack Curran Lol this nigga's so mad.
Nearly 4 minutes in and all I was hearing was
"We could make a 100% drawn movie (and bad syncro too) but we just like 3D much better and it's 'easier' "
But it's nicely made to see what they do behind the scenes. Thanks for sharing!
animation is a lot like doing your favorite activities, its not for the money, its for self fulfillment. Its not for the fame, its self satisfaction. its not without purpose, its for the hell of it.
yo quiero ese trabajo!!!
my Hiccup from how to train your dragon is sexy of the bits
Now I just want to work in all these areas. What now? hahah :') It seems amazing being all the creation, and then watching it on a movie theater, and being proud of your hardwork.
This was so much better than watching the actual movie. Loved it. Smile and wave boys.
You forgot the most important part
When I come and watch the movie for free
The least I can say thank you
nice video, all parts were pretty well explained
The more, the story people should focus, for the effort put into creating the piece, the story better be top notch.
It seems like such a headache but the end result makes it all worth it.
Are you telling me....
That a *penguin..* taught me more about animation then my *professional* university?
Nice instructional video, thanks for sharing
Wow there was a lot of effort put into this. I can appreciate it more now.
SO Much work put into movies
Thanks for posting this video i love some of dreamworks films and i have been asking myself how they are made very useful for me.But where does voice acting comes in ?
i am glad they use Maya cause i am learning how to use it to do animation
I think it's somewhere before animation. Also I'm learning maya too.
Voice acting can be done after parts of the script are finalized. It does not have a super strict deadline.
which is the animation software used at 9:12?
+danyro90 i think it's inhouse software
+danyro90 That's Autodesk Maya and many more other software like Zbrush, Houdni and there in house software.

Damn. I wish I had money to hire entire departments to do my animations ahahahaha! That's just insane how many departments they have! truly amazing how it all comes together!
its been like a year since i've been learning animation and i really thought that one day i can make an animated movie of my own, but now things look way more complicated
It might look complicated, but there are millions of people out there doing it. Best thing to do is find like-minded people to work on it with you. And they’re definitely out there wishing exactly the same as you! Just look at how many movies & shorts there are on a channel like Dust. Good luck 🤞
@@allisonjames2923 yea u r right...I'll need to work much harder to be someone like them for sure 💪

well given it takes you about 10-20 years to even learn these skills and master them.. yeah. :)
And this is the surface level stuff. Cameras in virtual space are just as complicated as REAL cameras, and it is hard to find where to put the camera before the scene has detail
@@riley530 you do animation / 3d too?
LastbutNotFirst I understand the process, and how demanding it can all be. I don’t personally animate professionally, but have multiple friends who do, and understand how stressful it can me.
@@riley530 lol yah. ive done a bunch of animations for people and companies ive worked at.. people have no idea how many years of just fucking with software it takes before you can even feel confident enough to charge someone for your services. i did a animation for a comic book company. they wanted pixar-like animation.. and i did it.. for 400 bucks. they decided to steal my animation, not pay me for half of it.. and went on to become a very successful company thanks to putting my animation on their website. it's a rough gig to do if you freelance. i should have gotten around 1000 dollars for my animation i did. ended up with 200 bucks and stolen work. lol
Great! I'm generally the first time I see what is real rigging and how the whole team does it!
Why are people criticizing movies anyway? Movies are made to entertain you. Now it’s just “that movie is trash, don’t watch it” and “OMG THAT MOVIE IS SO GOOD WATCH IT!” That is NOT the case. If you enjoy the movie, that’s all that counts. Don’t listen to “THAT MOVIE IS HORRIBLE”. That is that PERSON’S OPINION. People were all saying “THE EMOJI MOVIE WAS HORRIBLE” but me and my friends actually ENJOYED it. It’s YOUR entertainment that counts, not someone’s opinion!! Every movie was made with effort and it has got to be appreciated.
Imagine when they've all worked so hard and the movie flops .... :O :O
