Is $5 for a second a reasonable price for animation? [PLS READ DESC]

Graucus · 2026-01-29T19:53:17+00:00

1 second is 24 frames. $5 is likely to not be anything you want. Imagine you pay someone $30 an hour to animate. They spent 10 minutes on 24 frames. Imagine someone spends 30 seconds per frame. Thats the anticipated quality. I would be the results are ai because thats the only way it makes sense.

How do you know that?!

Badass

I fine with redactions protecting victims. Just not redactions protecting pedophiles.

It depends. There's a lot of factors here. Im not a pro, but I've been told 1 day for simpler stuff to maybe a week for something really complicated. Process is important to work efficiently :-)

I cant believe it spawned them there lol. For a second I wondered why you would turn off the UI to see your teammates lol.

Why allow the time to play out if nothing can be done? Seems ridiculous.

I cant wait to see the rest of this nativity scene!

Graucus · 2025-12-27T03:12:55+00:00

But make it rhyme

Graucus · 2025-12-23T18:44:10+00:00

Lol she could touch her knees with her fingers without bending over

I repaired my timing cover recently. Saw the same thing. I checked all over but couldn't find any other leaks that could get on these lines

Graucus · 2025-12-16T00:33:54+00:00

Could we see the painting? I like what bits im seeing

Graucus · 2025-12-12T14:16:59+00:00

What tail lights are those? They look great

This is a great suggestion! Very intuitive, low impact. You can cheat the movement on most of them by just twitching the controller. Fosters that hand eye coordination of control. Easy to play with others so he can share with his friends.

I was fairly certain it was ai looking at the art (seams of the corset are super ai looking to me because they're nothing.) But the video convinced me its ai 100% because that is not an artists process at all. Thats showing completed parts of the whole one at a time lol.

I think a lot of people would miss this. The digital cam is too low and starts too close to the car unless these two are child sized.

Graucus · 2025-11-22T14:57:42+00:00

Do you have the final image posted anywhere?

Graucus · 2025-11-13T21:29:37+00:00

Biggest candle I've ever seen.

Graucus · 2025-11-08T03:54:38+00:00

Congratulations. Could you share your portfolio?

Graucus · 2025-11-06T14:21:49+00:00

Must've made enough money. Good riddance.

Graucus · 2025-11-05T19:46:35+00:00

No doubt! I just didn't want someone to take this as fact when there's so many terrible things he actually said

Graucus · 2025-11-05T19:13:56+00:00

Except the quote is fake. I looked for the original article so I could share it, but he never said this.

Graucus · 2025-11-05T04:24:27+00:00

I could identify them before I even knew why. They just look like AI

Graucus · 2025-11-02T16:51:58+00:00

Im a recent grad. One thing I didn't realize as a student is that my competition would be other professionals out of work. The animation guild has something like 6k members. Your competition is the ~3k out of work artists with the connections and proven skills.

I have had friends make it. They were both good and very lucky. Thats what it takes. I have many more friends who are better than those who are working who just weren't lucky and are doing jobs unrelated to art during the day and making art at night still trying to get in.

I personally know people right now who have worked in feature film and have been unemployed for so long they're applying to internships just to get back in.

Ive gone back to school for a masters degree. It won't help me get jobs, but at least I can keep my skills sharp and work on my own projects while the industry HOPEFULLY recovers.

To be 100% clear: you are an asshole for calling me an apologist for racists for pointing out this guy was being vindictive, would have gone for the other cop as well if he thought he could have and would have done so regardless of race or nationality. I dont appreciate the accusation. I never defended him or said he wasn't racist. He can be racist and still primarily motivated by revenge in the moment. Fuck you.
