As an animator, I agree. Animation takes an immense amount of work, demanding an extensive skillset. It can take hundreds of hours to create a 5-minute...
I'm a little behind in my reading. Wow Calix... very succinct wrap up of the different labels. I think you nailed it. I'm surprised I haven't heard a few...
The irony is, I self-identify as a member of pretty much all these groups, even though pretty much none of these groups would have me as a member! I’m the...
This tickles my funny bone. Not because KB came here looking for free animation (it was worth a shot - after all, “you have not because you ask not,” to...
Calix said: "And don't make the silly argument that the animator deserves to get more because the animator's physical job takes a longer time, because a...
Okay, you caught me with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek on that one … But creative work isn’t usually billed by the hour, nor is there usually a ...
Calix as far as I know there are two animators on this board and you are rubbing them the wrong way. Let me address both of your emails. I have done it all in...
(A bit of OT non-filmmaking humor, as forwarded from my Episcopalian mother … ) Garrison Keillor on Episcopalians (Adapted from an essay by Garrison Keillor)...
Gosh, if I weren't a billion miles away from the peferred location I'd jump for it, just for fun! However, glancing past the replies I might mention in...
Hey make that three animators! I'm on AWN as well. What's your ID? BTW here are some responses on the AWN forum for the exact post. "How about putting one of...
Actually I haven't joined AWN yet since I got kicked out of school and haven't had time to make anything good enough to show people that I'm an animator...In...
I have no problem with anyone asking for anything for free. No one is putting a gun to anyone's head here and forcing them to do anything. I just wanted to...
<testy> C Ogle, I guess I need to learn the proper mailing list emoticon for “tongue in cheek,” since explicitly stating it in my previous post seems not...
Um, Calix, a bad writer cannot survive in today's society...a bad animator can. That is what us artists complain about more than our pay...it's that we're a...
So since you have pointed out my flaws at not detecting sardonic writing. Let me just say that too many people like to be condescending and insulting then end...
Legerdemainmt, my advise is to continue to to hone your craft. Yes it gets depressing and yes it's tough, but keep at it. Are you using Flash? If so do some...
I absolutely do not disrespect the work, skill, craft and artistry of the animator, particularly not one of the dying Disney breed! My original point in this...
Woooow! Seriously guys? I missed one day and this whole thing blows up in my face. I'd give my 2 cents, but I'm actually just going to let one of my writers do...
(Newbies! Harrumph! This HawkTeflon character shows up less 'n a month ago and he's already done gone to adjudicatin' and pontificatin'!) What’s the point...
Seriously, why can't two grown men rant and rave like fools without commentary from the newbs? Sheesh! Just goes to show you something, not sure what, but...
Don't hold back now....ouch! %^) Well, I'm not a writer (or a very great animator), but I understood your original post to mean what you meant it to mean,...
Is %^) the same as “j/k”? <g> Selling a screenplay will give you the highest per-word payday of pretty much any form of writing you can sell (with the...
