wannabeanimator:

“I have had people ask me for an entire 22 minute television show and want to pay me $100 to make it. No I’m not kidding. That would take me a year to do by the way. I have had people want me to draw 300 panels of art for their children’s book for $300. That’s a dollar a drawing. I have had people want me to produce a full color 22 minute storyboard for less than $250 bucks.”

-FLIPS TABLE-

WHY

I am not surprised. There are probably a lot of factors that go into this. I wish that people didn’t devalue art. Just the 4 minute animation I did entirely in Flash in college took me 3 months, and was my end of semester project.

people who aren’t artists don’t realize how time consuming art is. 

I’m not an artist, but I really admire them, and the animation process in particular. I can’t believe people actually think its this cheap or easy.

    This :| This is why I don’t do animation on commission, because no one would PAY what it needs. It’s insane :/
