Teamwork makes the dream work!

Hey, I worked on this!

This shot ended up going through a few people before I finished it up, @rainsyru.bsky.social 's first pass on Piper putting on the guitar strap was a tremendous help for such an intricate motion & @kingcabbage.bsky.social brought some great acting chops to Quinn!

Happy Far-Fetched Friday! Here's a hot-n-ready sneak peek at one of our animated shots from the upcoming Far-Fetched pilot!

Warren tries to lend a helping hand, but is quickly reminded that it's a thankless job. #FarFetchedShow

I'll be going live soon! I posted last week about animating your character if you replied with a ref. I'm going through all the characters posted so far; will definitely be prioritizing anyone who shows up to the stream itself as well when I choose!

King Cabbage @kingcabbage.bsky.social · Jun 16

Yes absolutely. And, of course, when I say "Animators" I don't mean just us....every part of production gets dragged into this of course.

King Cabbage @kingcabbage.bsky.social · May 2

We all do! I understand completely, I too want to do this for a living and am willing to be underpaid to get in. It's a deep problem and I'm not sure how we can get out of it

The dark side of Japan’s anime industry

King Cabbage @kingcabbage.bsky.social · May 2

So much of bad practices is driven by how badly we all want to get paid to do this!

King Cabbage @kingcabbage.bsky.social · May 2

Anyway, that's all for now. I just worry and wanted to talk about it. What do you guys think?

King Cabbage @kingcabbage.bsky.social · May 2

btw, if you're interested in this, there's a pretty good write-up here that goes into it a bit: www.vox.com/culture/2019...

Anime brings in more than $19 billion a year. Its artists are earning barely enough to survive.

King Cabbage @kingcabbage.bsky.social · May 2

But I worry it doesn't end there. The anime industry also started with passionate people trying to make this medium work on a budget....and the fallout from that was an entire industry built on exploiting passionate artists.

Is indie just a fantastic opportunity for new animators to get a foot in the door? I hope that's it.

King Cabbage @kingcabbage.bsky.social · May 2

I am not faulting anyone. I don't think any of this was done on purpose. Again, it's a perfect storm: it's something we couldn't necessarily have predicted. But I see the road it's going down and I worry.

King Cabbage @kingcabbage.bsky.social · May 2

And it's indie! So of course they don't have the budget...and they are upfront about that! They TELL you "we're indie, this is all we can afford!"

Enter the new animators, who now see an easier way into working in animation. The dream!
