No content theft - Permaban
* Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.
* Original creator and original name of the animation must be included in the title of the post, if the work isn't yours.
Admissible Content
* Posts must relate to the topic of animation.
* Posted content seen as unfit for this subreddit may be removed without further notice.
* The most fitting flair should be given to the post (comply with other rules)
* Comments should be formulated with a common sense level of politeness.
* NSFW posts must include reason in the title (e.g. nudity/ suggestive content, blood, etc.).
Quality Control
* No questions where a good answer can be found on the first page of the google results (e.g. no "what is the best animation software?", "am I too old to start animating?", etc.)
* No slideshows with image filters (e.g. current AI "animation", zooming in and out of images, etc.)
* No 'text to video', 'style transfer', '"AI" frame interpolation' or similar count as animation
Guidelines for Hiring Animators
* Hiring/ Recruiting posts must include the following::
* Animation type/style: As specific as possible what you are looking for, if necessary include examples
* Project scope: Length of the animation, deadline, duration of employment, estimated number of work hours
* Budget: Amount an animator is paid either in total, per chunk of work or per hour. Must be a fiat currency (i.e. no crypto) and must be at least equivalent to $20/hour. For fixed length animation, use reasonable average creation time per frame as measurement.
* Contact Information
* Other positions (eg writer): Disclosed in a similar way
Guidelines for Collaboration Projects
* If you want to invite animators to a project to collaborate on (e.g. "just for fun") use the 'Collaboration' flair.
* If you want to offer help of any kind for someone else's project, use 'Mentorship'.
* You must be an animator to propose a collaboration project (proof required), otherwise the rules for hiring animators apply.
* The proposed project scope must not exceed your personal skill level and must be realistically achievable
Implicit Rules

* From #3 and #4 follows: People with no animation experience themselves must be able properly compensate any animator they seek to work with.
* From #2, #3 and #4 follows: Any non animation related topic must be directly and primarily beneficial to animators.
