How many people does it take to make an animation?

Animation is the art of deceiving the eyes. Take Japanese animation as an example, it usually needs at least 12 pictures per second. If you count layering, you need to draw at least 20 pictures. Although there are still frames, generally speaking, there are about 4,000 to 6,000 animations that can be played in prime time in Japan every 20 minutes, which is only the amount of animation. A 20-minute movie needs about 4000 photos. Generally, Japanese cartoons are broadcast once a week, and the actual production cycle of each episode is about 6~ 10 week. If you leave two weeks for the animation, time will be given to the director, time to the original painting, time to the painting supervisor to modify after the original painting is completed, and time to clear the lines after the modification. This is only the work of the painting department. The company consists of painting department, production department, photography department, art department, public service department, management department and other departments. Even if the video part is completed, it also involves sound production companies and dubbing production companies.

Any episode of 20-minute Japanese comics should actually involve at least hundreds of people, or even hundreds of people.

The dozens of people mentioned above are only the conclusions drawn from the number of staff after the film. That's just the man who founded the company. Did you see the production in the back work together? Those companies only write the company name, and people in the company don't write it specifically. That's a big head.
