yvannairieThere's a specific kind of annoyance I get when people call bad animation (or just animation they don't like) "cheap-looking" because I can guarantee, whatever they think that animation cost, it costs way more.
Even a few seconds of "quick" animation (i.e. anything done in Flash, HTML5, DUIK) can easily cost a few hundred bucks b/c of all the associated costs. Freelance animators undercharge like hell for their work, as do freelance editors of both video and sound.
IDK like. I guess the jokes don't matter as such, but. That's my job. Nothing any artists does actually costs "a five bucks" and the general inability for people to grasp how much art costs is what I'd call "an actual problem."
