You are given $1 million and enough time to adapt a comic of your choosing into a 10 episode series

Pandemonium: Wizard Village. It's the sort of thing that could get fairly popular with fandom crowds if done that way. 11-minute episodes for minimum padding, you can easily get the original artist on board for cheap, and whatever you save on the budget can go into making it look good as 1mil can stretch. Market some licensed merch out to hot topic/etc. and you're good.

You have no idea how little 1 million is for an animated production, do you?

Only if you're stupid enough to look for untalented run-of-the-mill "artists" asking for overpay.
What you need are talented amateurs invested in the story and IP. Amateur animators are extremely cheap to hire and at the same time allow for free marketing since they're gonna want to shill the series on their social media to become more popular through the IP. I'm also talking actual artists, not your average CalArts shitter with no sense of anatomy asking for 100 dollars per hour.
Same thing with music and sounddesign, which even for an entire series you'd only need ONE single person for.

You could successfully pull off a project like this with under 10 people (not including voice actors) and for under half a million. WAY under.

You do know that 1 episode of Avatar or Invader Zim cost around 1 million dollars. Over the Garden Wall was 2 million an episode. If you fully outsource to Japan and make something in anime style then you can get a show in at around 50k-150k an episode.

I take the 35 or so issues of Wheel of Time: Eye of the World and make an animated series out of it with your long episodes in the hopes that I make enough money back to finance more WoT comics

Power Girl The Animated Series. Art and story by connor grey and palmiotti. Adapting the pG book they did.

Make it for Adult Swim too, and sell bluediscs that have some fan service stuff too hot for American tv.

Make the cheapest stick figure shit I can scribble on a napkin. Pocket the rest of the money and escape to tahiti. Get a call from CN that they love it and will offer me 50 million to make another season.

>implying $1 million is anywhere near enough for a decent 10 episode series

Okay, I make a high quality cartoon of Mabel and Mason’s Super Secrets[/spoilers] and then I fap some more.

HA.
It shows that you have no idea of what you are talkimg about. Not only you arent taking in consideration the monthly infraestructure prices(computers, healthcare, licences, the building you're gonna rent), but also you're assuming that your workers will give you their 100% commitment with a shitty pay.

I would make Zach Morrison drop the shit style and finally let paranatural become the cartoon it deserved to be. But only if he goes back to his old style.

I don't think you could even get a half-passable slideshow for 100k an episode. With no voices, maybe. But even then you'd have to commission a bunch of art from whoever and I dunno how much you'd need to make it watchable.

100M profit

1m is gonna be nowhere near enough unless yor fps is beyond dogshit.

A single one is like 850k, but yeah 1m is very much not gonna cut it

1 million isn't much to work with. I try to do 10 TMNT shorts in the vein of the Summer shorts maybe. Play around with the different styles.

Hey, somebody with taste!
I like you.

Now you're taking user!
But considering how short the stories are do you create OG stories to fill out 2 episodes per story? Or only do 3 1hour long specials.

It's live action/animated. Each episode covers a volume.

2 hour long specials, final one being an hour and a half.

Overdose, fuck those idiots!

What's fps?

Frames per second. A.K.A. how many still images you will run in a second so that you can have a decent illusion of movement.

Then yes. That'll make or break it the show

1 mill is kind of a stretch but i'd love for the aesthetic to be something like 2d animated characters within a 3d environment.
as for the 10 episodes thing, i'd have each one be 30 minutes long, or maybe even an hour. i'd keep all the main points in there but i'd snip out some not so important parts.

>1 million
That's not enough for a real 10 episode series on an actual network

Cartoon Saloon maybe? With a budget small it'd need to be like five minute shorts or something.

And Monstress's art is extremely lush and vibrant, so CS is the only modern studio I feel could handle it.

Make each episode six minutes long.

I want to fuck that cat.

Remember when MrEnter had a crowdfunding goal of like $300,000 to make a single episode of his shitty show?
As much of a faggot as he is, that is pretty much what a low end 11 minute cartoon is gonna cost you if you want it to be anywhere near professional quality, sure you could get away with lower but the quality would be very noticeably under TV standards, or take several years to produce a single episode.

C0DA, because these batshit insane ramblings of a cocaine fiend with a weird fetish for hinduism needs to see the light of day.

But I'd need a lot more than $1 million, if we're doing a 22 minute episode format I'd need at the very least about $7-$8 million budget for it to be even passable.

1 million is too little for Incal

Bro, you can't do shit with 1 million

You'd just have to be very creative.

You don't know how any of this works do you?

GL: Rebirth and Sinestro Corps War, 2D animation.

I won't say what comic I would like to be adapted,
but I think for ANY comic, it could be adapted into a sort of comic dub with small animations inside the panels to make it more nicer
Most of what I would invest in would be decent/good VA's, sound effect engineers, and people with photoshop that know how to animate a little bit.
Video producers, and editors are essential, but I don't know what I would do about advertising. I might luckily only need a few people for each position.
A pro of this would be that it could be adapted into ANY language, raking in more international viewers
A downside of this is that obviously, the episodes wouldn't have any ACTUAL ANIMATION, since the team would be working with the actual comic pages
All this with a 1 mil budget, and I would still have to pay the original artist and writer of the comic to adapt.

I'm not gonna adapt any particular story, I'd like to do a Black Knight animated series with my own plot. Because nobody else will. Would've been nice to do a live action, but this budget is low. So, first few episodes will focus on his origin with occasional flashbacks about Ebony Blade and Sir Percy. He won't join Masters of Evil though and will meet the Avengers only in the finale. Main plot is about Dane struggling with Ebony Blade's curse and becoming a hero. Main villains are Mordred and Morgan Le Fay, Dreadknight and Taskmaster as secondary. Tasky will be dominating Dane in every confrontation. Defeated in a
fair swordfight after Dane wounded his ego by doubting his fencing skills. For this fight Dane will use an ordinary sword to even the odds. I'd really like to have Black Knight duel with Silver Samurai, but I think that such departure from the main plot is too much.
Mordred will require a host body because his soul was trapped in Ebony Dagger, which he used to kill the first Black Knight. He's going to possess a very sad and lonely antique collector and after that he'll try to summon Castle Le Fay into our time. Morgan's plan is to conquer our era by rewriting reality. One episode will be about Nathan Garrett, exploring his past interactions with Dane and his days with OG Masters of Evil, leading to his death. Captain Britain and Doctor Strange will have cameo appearances. Maybe have Rebecca Stevens (the chick who studied Black Knight's history) as a love interest and main plot device, but idk. Pic related is his main suit, full armor for boss battles and special occasions. He will be travelling around the country on a bike. Somewhere in the middle he will get a special protective helmet, stylized to resemble his regular.
