@RenRyuzakiVT You actually can't because their commission slots filled up so now what?

@kaufmosis @coleotrout If people are buying it then, by definition, they aren't ridiculous. A product is worth what people are willing to pay for it.

@viktortinyo @EchoTheGoddess1 Find me a professional studio that charges $250/sec for 24 fps full motion animation. I will wait.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@viktortinyo @UncleNorth1776 @neevin Yeah and a studio making 24fps animations is going to charge a hell of a lot more than $250/sec so what's your point?

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@Le0nm0 @YSuperfici62738 @muzystar15 For a single person to make an entire hour of animation like this would take years.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@YSuperfici62738 @muzystar15 Are you stupid? That's per hour of animation, not per hour of work. To actually make an hour of animation would take thousands of hours.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@LookAtMyMeat1 "I underpaid someone to make this animation with 0 movement"

Not exactly the argument you think it is.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@nightwave_x @yes_THE_Scarlet "For a million dollars you can hire a team of underpaid animators from a country with a much weaker currency"

Yeah, outsourcing labour to poorer countries saves money. You're very smart for discovering this.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@nightwave_x @cyberjudo Nobody is paying them a million dollars you fucking moron. They are paying a few hundred dollars for a few seconds of animation.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@MaksVern9383 Per hour of animation, not work. A single person working on an hour of animation like this would take over a decade, you fucking trumptard.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@loxeigh Anime episodes don't have constant motion and are also made in Japan where the cost of labour is much lower.
Yeah...

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@MrRandomGe @ClawsFurHire 1. AoT animators are underpaid and live in Japan, which has a weak currency.

2. Long-form animation uses a lot of tricks to save on animation costs. An episode of AoT has a lot of stills and repeated frames; it's not constant motion that requires unique drawings.

@ShitpostRock @Anti_P0litical "If we proportinally (sic) increase both nothing changes"

Yeah no shit, Einstein. You arrive at that conclusion all on your own?

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@imran_hanaf 1. Anime animators being underpaid is not a good thing.

2. They live in Japan where the local currency is extremely weak so you can't make a direct comparison without factoring in things like CoL.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@Xiliiiiiiiiiii1 @PnishdMythMason @SymbiontHost Japanese animators are famously underpaid and they also live in Japan (different cost of living) so you can't directly compare them.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@digitizedCascde @rowanfornow @SymbiontHost Are you stupid? They're charging per second of animation, not per second of work. 1 second of animation at just 12 fps is 12 drawings. If they can do 2/hr then they're really charging ~$42/hr of work.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@Real_Shrigma @KingOfAllOceans @ZERODMC5 If you average two drawings per hour then, at a standard work week of 40hrs/week, it would take over a decade to get to 43k drawings. I think $90k/yr is a reasonable wage for a full-time animator.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@ZERODMC5 Yeah, an hour of hand drawn animation would cost a lot of money because that would be a fuckton of drawings. At 12fps that's over 43k drawings. That would take years for a single artist to do.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@B0bbym1n @tbomortem Not really. At 12fps that's $20 per drawing.

[Cryophobic @Cryophobic1]

@CrimsonFoxTwo @Fe_Saibot @katsudonsoup @wanderjegson 2 seconds of animation at 12fps is 24 drawings. You don't think 24 drawings is worth $500?
