Some tips to remember when making a series:
1: List in the cast first, So you could remember who are your main characters and who are the antagonists, Also expect to have people begging for their OC to be in, I suggest not to add too much people, unless you need them for background appearances or additional appearances (meaning they have short screen time)
2: Write a script, If your series doesn’t have a script, there is a chance the scenes or the dialogues will look bad or poorly executed, A script is very important in a series, so don’t ditch them
3: Family-friendly intended, I know some of you like extreme gore and alot of swearing in your series, i suggest not too, but if you need some blood effects in your series, don’t go too overboard, But If your targeting for a more older audience, i suggest adding them in, but not too extreme

No thanks, I wanted my series to be PTSD-inducing.
4: Don’t forget about being entertaining. Sometimes, especially with online animation – and Stick Nodes/Pivot/etc even moreso – people focus on one of two things:
– One: Trying to animate things “perfectly” to show their skills (which could be entertaining, depends) – its not a showcase reel it’s supposed to be a story
– Two: Telling a story they think is entertaining because its fun for them to envision and develop but it’s really just boring people to death until it “gets to the good part” or something, or maybe is too dialog (text)-heavy.
Be. Entertaining. Action, humor, plot – strike a balance with it. Each episode should have a beginning, middle, and end…even if it’s just a singular episode of an over-arching series which itself should have it’s own macro-level beginning, middle, and end. It requires thought and planning. Also try not to be too cliche.
