Animation Careers: How to Make an Animated Cartoon

The video tutorial provides an in-depth look at the animation process for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. It begins with a script, which is then visualized by artists into storyboards. Backgrounds and characters are designed by different teams, with artists like Keith Conroy and Adrian Barrios playing key roles. Storyboards are crucial for directors to visualize the final product and avoid mistakes. The animation is outsourced to Korea for cost efficiency, and the final product undergoes post-production editing to enhance scenes with effects like explosions and lasers.
