You know if you do make an anime…one important thing to consider is the music.  How many people can forget the themes to shows like SAO, One-Punch Man and one of the biggest Neon Genesis.   I’ve lived in Japan and A Cruel Angels Thesis is on the Karaoke list.   To be honest I miss a ton of old school soundtracks we used to get in the 80s and 90s.  It has been quite some time since we’ve seen a real soundtrack.  I guess that is why Guardians of the Galaxy was so refreshing.

So when making your anime…don’t forget….you need a good theme song.

Here is some more “watch the master” at work!   This has a great interview and was fun to watch Mighty Otaking work while chatting with PikaPetey.  There are a ton of gems in here so feel free to watch the recorded live stream!

Well here is your chance.    MightyOataking has a Patreon going on right now with project files.

If you don’t know who mightyOtaking is please check out his work below.

He uses a lot of 3d reference to make it look really cool and speed things up.

 

 

You cannot draw but want to make a manga or anime?

Well why not try doing things the old fashioned way?  By tracing.   What tracing?  That is horrible!   Why would I trace someone elses work?

You don’t have to do that silly.  You can trace using references you create.   There are many programs you could use to setup a shot and then trace it.

You can make your own characters in 3d and then use them to trace.

Here is an example of creating your own characters.

Yeah I know this is not the best animation you will find but break it down and think of the possibilites.

This man made a feature length movie in 5 months.    Imagine taking a year, sprucing up the models and modeling.  It is quite possible to make something awesome in less than a year.
