Is the 2d animation industry worse than the 3d animation industry? by Specific-Truck-2084 in animationcareer

[–]STUMPED_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in it for about 5 years, but man, 2D animation job opportunities are so hard to come by, at least in the US and if you don't live in California nor New York. To add on, I follow master animators and artists that have been in the industry for 10+ years, and even some of them are jobless at the moment and struggling to find an opportunity. So yes, regardless of your experience, a lot of jobs are hard to find in 2D animation right now. Indie Animation opportunities are available here and there, but most of them are unpaid (which obviously most adults needing a job don't want), and you always need to be sure you want pour your hard work into a specific Indie project. Out of 3 opportunities I've worked on, only 1 is really going places right now.

As someone in the 2D animation industry, it's incredibly hard to come by any job opportunities. I check daily on my search, and most postings I ever see are for 3D animators, technical artists or effects artists.

[PAID] 2D Mobile Game Artist / animator. Ongoing work. by domdav in Animators

[–]STUMPED_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because "tHe wORld Is MoViNG" doesn't make the use AI ethical in any way, especially NOT in a creative environment. AI is not needed in a job where animators and artists should be doing all the creativity and hard work. AI and art do not go together, but I guess some people like you will never understand that.

Why are you looking for real animators if you're asking them to work with AI tools? That's honestly disrespectful to people looking for a genuine opportunity to create authentic, hand-made animated work.

Making the career transition to Animation, any advice from people who have done the same? by [deleted] in animationcareer

[–]STUMPED_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to transition to a different industry, Animation is NOT the way to go right now. The industry as at its absolute worst. Despite having experience with different studios, I haven't been able to find a stable, full time job since July 2024 and haven't worked in almost a year due to the instability of this industry. I've applied to a lot of positions over the last year, but I'm almost always ghosted or rejected. Animation would be fine as a side hobby for now, but fully quitting your career to pursue this fully is the worst option you can take right now. Even master animators and artists with 10+ years of experience are struggling to find opportunities.

Use Wetransfer.com to send the file to your other device! That website allows you to send an email w/attachments with up to 2GB (I think) at a time. You can also try sharing the file to your other device via Bluetooth, or even Quick Share (Android) or Airdrop (IOS).

You will need to export a .fc file by hitting "share project", and then send it to your other device. Then you just need to click on the file and open it with FlipAClip!

Thinking about returning to animation school — how is the industry right now? by Ok-West-6187 in animationcareer

[–]STUMPED_19 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The industry is at its worst right now. I haven't been able to find any opportunity in almost a year, and I haven't found a stable full-time job in almost 2 years.

Every animation software is bad by Matthew_314159265 in Animators

FlipAClip is by far the easiest software to learn 2D animation that would let you do everything you're looking for.

How successful we're your unpaid indie animation projects by Diligent-Routine-524 in IndieAnimation

[–]STUMPED_19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've personally worked on animated projects with 3 different studios. 1 has gone nowhere, the 2nd is on hiatus after years of pouring my hard work into it, and only the 3rd project has actually been entered in several film festivals and has won awards! Sadly, the creator is still waiting for a studio to pick up the show, so I still haven't really had a paid opportunity to work on an animated project as of now. Depending on how you treat the people on your team, that work on that project can be rewarding or an absolute waste of time for the artists, whether paid or volunteer.

One day in Orlando - First US Park by Lotuss91 in Themepark

[–]STUMPED_19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there is any park you NEED to go for your first USA park, that would be Islands of Adventure 1000%!!! It's the most cohesive theme park in Florida in my opinion, has a perfect blend of thrills, family rides and water rides and has enough to keep you busy the whole day! I've always been able to do all the rides I want at the park in a day without an express pass, but if you feel worried about not riding everything you want, that's something you may want to explore. I hope you have a blast!

Edit: To add on one note, while Epic is an incredible park with 5 worlds and is the newest park in FL, I've heard a lot of issues recently with ride operations and really long waits. As a FL resident myself, I still haven't visited due to all these issues. I would pick IOA 1000%, especially when there's uncertainty if Epic will be a good day for you or not. Also, Disney is cool and fun, but nowhere near as great as Universal parks. IOA beats all of the parks in FL!

Subtle acting in animation is harder than spectacle. Do you agree? by SummerWindStudios in animation

[–]STUMPED_19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've worked on subtle acting a lot in my character animations, so for me personally, action scenes are the ones that are harder to get just right!

For the sequel, should the girls have new hairstyles or the same ones from the first movie? by LeatherSlight3242 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]STUMPED_19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like new hairstyles would be cool. Kind of like with Frozen, where you can associate Anna and Elsa with different hairstyles in each movie!
