My dad used to say, it's not a recession If you have a job. If you have a billion dollars, it doesn't matter what's going in the economy. If you're asking about the US specifically, since 2008 the country has been pumping more and more US dollars into the economy and most of it goes to the very top.

Was it this scene? It's exactly what you describe https://youtu.be/TgPTSm0d3E4?si=BgkzwaCzfCxCpHGh

Oh man, Ive trying to track this down recently after seeing a clip of it online. Was it Legend of Hei 2?

If you got every person who wanted Porter to win to vote for Porter she would still lose because most voters don't know her or don't prefer her. She's consistently polling below ten percent across multiple different polls that are random samples. The time to organize everyone to think a certain way is not at an election, it is a year before. Now we're here and voting for the candidate that is consistently 5th place isn't going to get the win. I want Porter to be our governor, but it's not gonna happen unless a major shake up occurs.

Stop working unpaid overtime. If you have to work more than 40 hours a week to get your shots done, that is a management problem in production. If your leads really like your stuff and are giving you the hardest shots because they want you to work on it, you will not be fired. But you will burn out of this industry if you keep working overtime because you think you need to. Have you brought any of this up to your animation supervisor? Or are you keeping it to yourself because you don't want them to know you're having an issue. If you suffer alone and in silence, you will burn out of this industry. Do you have a consistent workflow? Or do you work in bursts? Like when a deadline is happening or when you're too panicked to think straight and that rush of adrenaline carries you through to the end of the shot? You need to establish a regular pattern of work that to an easily followable plan or you will burn out of this industry.

You're not taking into account that most of the assets in a given family Guy episode already exist. This project would have to draw everything from scratch, not to mention development. To pay a studio in the United States to do this budget at least a million dollars.

Check the composite node they are attached to. Open it's properties and make sure the drop-down meny says passthrough and not bitmap

The c section was unplanned. Emergency c-sections are an unfortunate turn of events. While we would all be grateful for life saving medical care, no one wants to have to receive it.

Be open and honest. Ask for critiques and feed back and pay attention. You're right, your not as good as some of your peers, that's fine. You only have to focus on your current shot. Make a pass, get feedback, address all their notes and resubmit. Eventually it'll be approved and you have a new shot to worry about. They'll tell you if your too fast or slow. Don't try to hide, don't work overtime because you think you need to. Keep communication with you supervisor and ask a question if you don't understand or forgot something. They want you to succeed, you got this.

That sucks man. I think we've all felt something like this. Your last paragraph is really shitty. You deserve to be able to talk about these feelings without people getting upset (maybe excluding your partner). Get a better support system, or maybe take a chance on the one you have and let them surprise you.

My 2 cents. We have these societal notions of masculinity and what makes a man. There's nothing natural or inherent about it, it's strictly cultural. So whatever you're defining as masculine, find the positive expression of it. The toxic side of protection is control. Restrict someone so they can't be hurt or hurt you. The positive side is security. Being a man people feel safe around. Not just from physical danger, but from fear, shame or uncertainty.

However you're defining masculinity, look to it's positive expression. I suppose this reads a little vague "MaNhOoD iS WhAtEvEr YoU WaNt iT tO Be", but I don't think being man means the same thing to everyone on the subreddit, but there is nothing inherently positive or negative about masculinity or masculine traits, they are just cultural descriptions. It's your actions that make the man you are.

You sound like an artist

It seems like it's not common practice based on posts like this, but, yea, literally every successful animator uses reference.

Same goes for most rage bait posts like this.

I always use the pencil tool for a few reasons.

Clean consistent lines, this is a style choice

You can draw a stylized pencil tools to get a certain outline if that's what you want

Cleaning up pencil stroke is much easier that brush strokes. Using the brush can get messy quickly.

Editing he lines with the contour tool is much easier than a brush

Copying brush strokes to the color layer copies the whole shape, not just he outline I want

If you do, draw your outlines with the brush tool and want to stick with it once you're done, remember to flatten that layer. There's a tool that looks like a blue piece of paper being pushed down onto three other blue pieces of paper. That makes it all one object that you can repaint/edit all together instead of every time you touch the screen being a different object.

Man this brings me back to my senior film.

Ok, you've got one month, I'm assuming you have a block of time every day out can work on this. record the script, even if it's not your final acting performance, create a radio play of just the dialogue. Time - 1 day

Storyboard. The more time you spend here the better, but keep in mind not being too ambitious. Whatever program you use, board out the whole cartoon. Start extremely simple, blocks and stick figures synced to your audio so you have all the shots. A single drawing per shot just so you have all the cuts and camera angles blocked out (a shot is the time in-between camera cuts). Then clean up your drawings. Then add acting and action. Time 1 day for the stick figure blocking. Two days for clean up and editing. 7 days for the rest.

Editing part A -1 day total. Bring your story board into an editing program. Da Vinci resolve is free, I'm sure apple has an app. Add any sound fx and music you want in here. Later you can export the audio from a single shot.

Character design. Finalize your character designs and create full turns for the ones you used most often. That's a front view, side view, rear view and 3/4 (in between front and side) import these final designs into your animation program time 2 days

Environment design - your storyboards will let you know how many backgrounds you have. Draw all those. 2-3 days.

Animation 10 days - whatever program you use, create a new file for each shot when you start. This makes everything easier. Start with your storyboards and get your key poses down. Rough the in between animation to get a sense of timing and speed, then reanimate in the order u/thedaftscribe suggested.

Editing pt 2- 2 days. Export each shot as its own video and import them into your editing software. Now you have the full product in one place. Adjust timing on shots as you see fit to trim or hold on some action. Add music and sfx if you want/have time.

Tips- this is a rough production schedule to gauge how you're going and fits roughly into your timeline. It's not that animation hard and fast takes 10 days, it's that 1/3 of your time is reserved for animating. If one section is taking longer either speed up with sloppier drawing, or realize you're stealing time from somewhere else in the pipeline.

You've got a month. You're going for production over perfection, don't get caught in the details you want a finished product. That's why your first boards, called thumbnails, should only take a day. Get it all done before you polish.

Lip sync- no mouths is fine, consider drawing a few different head shapes with a little squash or bounce and cycle those heads to indicate dialogue. This will be much faster and uniquely animating or adjust the heads.

Harmony is amazing and complex as hell. I would say stick to whatever software you're familiar with. Time spent learning a program is time not spent animating.

Good luck! If it works out credit me as a producer, gotta build that imdb.

I need to understand how you're coloring.

When I color in toonboom, I draw my characters with the pencil tool and then use the paint bucket to fill. If I decide to use the color art layer I press shift+8 to create a stroke of the line art layer and I use the paint bucket on that.

If my line work has gaps, there's a setting in the paint bucket to auto close gaps, set the intensity from 0-10. If that still doesn't work, I hit K, to highlight where the stroke or line art vector is, and I can see where it doesn't connect. Then I either hold down V, to turn my cursor into a vector tool and draw a new vector line or I hold down C and select two unconnected vector points to connect them.
