I know nothing aout the industry, is this a good pay grade (just to clarify, this is for a Sonic fan-project, not an official one, so it might technically not count as an actual "professional" jig?)

$50USD per pose
This trainwreck is gonna run out of money before they even finish one episode.
I read $5, not $50
I read 50 too.
Maybe we need to go back to using differently named currencies if people won't write it as 5$USD.
They only plan on animating one episode. The first episode will be used to pitch to another studio. That's what was said during one of their livestreams.
I can't see this going over well, even Sega's good will towards fan-content has limits.
At the very least, they still seem to consider the outcome that it will not be picked up, but I am not sure how much they are actually prepared for it.
and the direction is...?
I don't think it would be wise to disclose it ahead.
You drawing the layout by hand or just dragging and dropping a bunch of vectors where they're suppose to go?
If the first then I could pay you right now 5$ per dynamic character pose for some Felix The cat tier designs.

I couldn't draw shit to save my live, I was just curious of how it compare to the rest of the industry.
No, no it's not a good pay grade.
Just to know, what would be considered acceptable
Like living wage good or exceptionally good? Over 20 if it's living wage for 1 person, and exceptionally good is about 42 to get your career going outside your job at a studio, by that I mean you get fired you have money save up to move on independently or get work elsewhere in another studio. 5 Dollars is Japanese Animator level sweat shop wage from the 90's to late 2000's
the opposing argument here would be these poses are supposed to be made as quickly as possible, so the $5 count would accumulate pretty quickly.
That's the ideal turnout, but probably not what would happen.
Why are you putting so much money into a Sonic fan-project? If you're going to invest that much fricking money, you should try to make your own cartoon.
>Why are you putting so much money into a Sonic fan-project?
Anon, are you really this unfamiliar with the sheer power of Sonic the Hedgehog fan autism?
Especially SatAM.
That's always been one of the least autistic bastions of the fanbase, just under Adventures. However, SatAM slowly got absorbed into the Archie comics, which became Ken Penders personal madhouse, so I understand the confusion
Most people would watch SatAM expecting Archie. They'd be confused that Bunnie and Antione aren't together, that Rotor and Bunnie aren't doing shit, or where all those other Archie-introduced characters are.
Actually, most fan of Archie would equate SatAM with the start of the Archie comic. They wouldn't be confused.
Autism can create great show concept and worlds that people can do whatever they want with. Why put all this time and money into something that's not even yours?
I know this because I'm autistic and have a bunch of ideas for shows and I wish I had enough money to pay $50 per pose.
Parodies or "tributes" are just tiring at this point, putting this much money into it isn't going to make it funny or interesting.
>Why put all this time and money into something that's not even yours?
see
It's $5 per pose. Depending on how fast you can work, that can be a lot or a little. An animator who can draw 4 poses an hour is earning more than an EMT. However, just drawing one pose an hour (or less) would be well under the federal minimum wage level.
>I wish I had enough money to pay $50 per pose.
It's 5$, not 50$. Unless I am the ne reading badly?
Doesn't working with copywritten characters get dicy when money starts changing hands?
>I know this because I'm autistic and have a bunch of ideas for shows and I wish I had enough money to pay $50 per pose.
Check if these weirdoes are hiring for writers. This will probably get C&D'd into oblivion but that's no reason not to have fun with it in the meantime.
And maybe even get paid!
Only if they planned to make money from the final product.
Whether you charge or not has zero effect, fan art is 100% illegal technically. It's up to the corporations if they send cease and desists or not, but they are allowed to even if you do it for free, it's still copyright infringement.
Somewhat
>fan art is 100% illegal technically
What about the parody excuse ?
Parody is a legal defense you can use while being sued, it's not a magic "it's parody so you can't sue me" clause, morons think it is.
>Doesn't working with copywritten characters get dicy when money starts changing hands?
Depends on the IP holder. Nintendo has shutdown nonprofit projects all the time. Sega rarely intervenes or even cares.
>Sega rarely intervenes or even cares.
And it resulted in Sonic Mania. It's likely they want to get to something similar.
>muh Sonic Mania is a fangame
Don't be a moron
I was made by people who started by making a lot of Sonic fangames beforehand.
Not for profit, hardly any of them actually finished, and the reason they actually got to work with Sega was after pitching previous projects and getting professional work under their belts, which let them make Mania WITH Sega and with their direct involvement and feedback.
In other words, no, it's not the same as "Sega rarely intervening in an animated fan-made show that's involving money because somehow that'll lead magically to them getting a cartoon"
>Autism can create great show concept and worlds that people can do whatever they want with. Why put all this time and money into something that's not even yours?
Because they and other people love the Sonic franchise. Sonic catches people's attention because he's famous. People rarely give a shit about a new IP even if it's good.
>Why put all this time and money into something that's not even yours?
Because autism results in delusion.
We all know this is fricking stupid and will be shot down as soon as an exec catches wind.
>Kek they're going with the anime technique. Put all the decent animators in the
Anime has decent animators?
No offence to what you're saying if you've seen one that does, all the popshit that I've seen or is shoved my way by friends looks like the animators, who only know how to draw cheap shit, were given more time... and so all you got was the cheap shit with more frames.
>and the direction is...?
Exactly.
>Anime has decent animators?
you know not every anime is azumanga daioh but less funny, right?
look at some popular shonens, they have great animation, especially the recent ones
>look at some popular shonens, they have great animation
I did and they're pretty bad.
>putting so much money into a Sonic fan-project? If you're going to invest that much fricking money, you should try to make your own cartoon.
>but i don't want to make my own cartoon, i want to put that money into a sonic fan-project!
Basically.
Animation is a passion hobby/job for a reason, no other industry would put up with what animators have to.
For those who haven't seen it:
Gross.
Kek they're going with the anime technique. Put all the decent animators in the action sequences and dance sequences and put all the trash animators in the dialogue sequences.
Feels slow.
Anyone else hope this fails? Why? Why put this much of effort and faith on the objectively worst Sonic media ever made? Do they have worms in their brain?
Holy shit, I'm glad SEGA curbstomped it all. Now fingers crossed for them to come in and DMCA it.
Yes
because SatAM really just needs to stay dead and buried. It has no place in modern Sonic and only brings drama and bullshit.
Based.
I already reported them to be DMCA'd. Hope they attend my request.
Snitch.
>on the objectively worst Sonic media ever made?
SatAM is enjoyable, though. and the worse one is Underground anyway.
even if you like SatAM, it really just doesn't reflect on what Sonic has since been established to be.
>it really just doesn't reflect on what Sonic has since been established to be.
Which is why fanprojects exist, because this sort of sonic media won't be done by Sega anytime soon.
Still, someone needs to step up and shut it down. Anything related to Satamshit, only brings more shame.
In all likelihood it'll collapse on its own without Sega even doing anything.
Would you say the same if it was an adaptation of say, the Adventure games?
Nope, because the Adventure games are actually good and respect Sonic. They didn't fricking believe Sonic needs to be OOC with a shitty ass Mary Sue for starters.
This is the mentality that leads to you getting arrested at Gamestop.
>. They didn't fricking believe Sonic needs to be OOC
SatAM sonic has never been OOC, though.
> with a shitty ass Mary Sue for starters.
Don't use terms you do'nt understand, anon.
Oh, Sally was absolutely a Mary Sue. She got even worse in the comics.
SatAM is more Sally's shown than Sonic's, she's the one who carries the plots.
Having watched i recently, I can assure you Sonic has the center-stage. You could say she get equal role, but it's not her show.
Watched it last year and I don't agree, Sally felt like the center of attention most of the time.
>Sally felt like the center of attention most of the time.
There are episodes where she isn't even there at all. Sonic is in all of them.
She's also the driving force behind pretty much every plot. Sonic was just her attack dog.
The entire plot of the Satam is revolved around the FF cast not just Sally
Bullshit. Rotor and Bunnie were barely there at all, Antoine's whole deal was being an incompetent comedic relief always trying to big himself up and get into Sally's nonexistent pants.
>Oh, Sally was absolutely a Mary Sue.
Had her own anger issues and obsession with her Father Legacy and needed rescuing once in a while.
Let's not use that term unless it's actually someone so perfect it kill any tension or any interesting plot by her just being so good it's solved instantly.
I mean, you could maybe apply that to Nicole, but that's it.
Sally has flaws shes not a mary sue
Mary Sues don't job and fail 24/7 and has to rely on Sonic to save the day
I'll take "What is a Pity Sue" for 50. You haven't even studied the theory, have you?
Didn't we already have an adaption of the Adventure games in Sonic X season 2?
Yeah, but Chris did everything.
>Anything related to Satamshit, only brings more shame.
It's really not that bad, anon. plenty of official sonic stuff are worse than that.
Ignore the spamming shitposter.
Let it go, Richard Kuta.
SatAm literally is the anti-Sonic. Like it was made to spite everyone who likes Sonic.
Based Boco.
>Like it was made to spite everyone who likes Sonic.
Not really.
Yes really, Richmunk.
>SatAm literally is the anti-Sonic. Like it was made to spite everyone who likes Sonic.
Pretty much.
>Sonic is suppose to be the fastest thing alive that breaks shit.
>Lol nope he's suppose to be stealthy now and he's severely underpowered.
>Lol you want a fast action show with a mixture of nifty colored industrial places and green hill places and ancient temples? lolnope here's a post-apocalyptic dystopian shit that looks like Bladerunner
Naruto is honestly a more correctly done Sonic show.
Based. I honestly don't get how could anyone defend the shit fest that is ShitAm.
is suppose to be the fastest thing alive that breaks shit.
He does.
>>Lol nope he's suppose to be stealthy now and he's severely underpowered.
He really isn't.
>>Lol you want a fast action show with a mixture of nifty colored industrial places and green hill places and ancient temples?
the show provide that.
is suppose to be the fastest thing alive that breaks shit.
>>Lol nope he's suppose to be stealthy now and he's severely underpowered.
Frankly, he is not acting any different than when sonic try to catch up Robotnic after he has destroyed his contraption.
>Robotnik
Richmunk...
>SatAm literally is the anti-Sonic. Like it was made to spite everyone who likes Sonic.
Good. then we need more projects like this because Sonic is fricking cancer.
>Anything related to Satamshit, only brings more shame.
Sonic is related to Satamshit and he doesn't need anyone's help to bring shame upon everyone.
>Naruto is honestly a more correctly done Sonic show.
Wow. ok.
Credit where credit is though. You homosexuals have finally grew out of the stage where you're comparing Sonic to moronic space monkeys
Now you're comparing him to moronic ninja fox jesus.
I hope to live long live enough to see the internet finally compare Sonic to an actually GOOD shonen series...or better, a seinen
Man I know I'm old but I remember when the internet loved that show. I never cared much either way though.
>Holy shit, I'm glad SEGA curbstomped it all.
What are you talking about?
>Literally no one ever liked this shit show.
I liked it.
And here comes the Satamhomosexuals in time to shit the thread up.
I am pretty sure that you spamming how you hate this show contribute to some level to the amount of shit in this thread.
SatAMgays are the worst.
This. Jesus christ, frick all of it. Literally no one ever liked this shit show.
God, they really just won't let it go. Lol. Pathetic literal diaper homosexuals.
Hi, Richmunk. Even Underground is more entertaining.
>Even Underground is more entertaining.
Let's agree to disagree.
Let's agree that you need to move on.
Why does this give me Masters of the Universe Revelations vibes?
Like Sonic is going to die and Sally and Bonnie will be the main characters.
>Why does this give me Masters of the Universe Revelations vibes?
Revelations turned out to be good, though.
>Like Sonic is going to die and Sally and Bonnie will be the main characters.
Let set aside that Adam actually come back and basically save the day coming up wit the plan to defeat Evil-Lynn, This trailer does not give that vibe at all.
and the people doing this are too much of a bunch of fanboys to do that to Soni anyway.
Are SatAM c**ts the worst kind of Sonic gays?
Not really. the worst one are Christian Sonic X fan who want to convert Sonic character to Christianity.
I feel like this is exploitable.
SatAMgays at least stick to their own little corner, eragays shit up every single discussion
Satamgays are eragays. They are ALWAYS the one to incite shitposting.
Frick off, Richmunk.
Change your diapers.
Nobody's talking about diapers
Except you, Richmunk.
You're the only person who is talking about them
You will never get your Freedom Furgays ever. Let it go.
Why do you hate pancakes so much ?
Get killed.
Satam c**ts are still the worst.
Anti-Archie/SatAMgays has them beat. Not even the autism of Richmunk can compare to the absolute homosexuals who have a mental breakdown at the mere sight or mention of Archie or SatAM Sonic
See this thread for example
Wow, that's surprisingly good animation, shame the VA is god awful.
At least VAs are easier to change after release compared to reworking animation
maybe thats the point to mimic the originals?
I don't know I never watched it.
...Crash and Burn.
And continue the Patreon bullshit.
Godspeed but beware the Penders.
Penders has already says he has no claim over the SatAM cast or the Freedom Fighters in general.
It's not a good pay grade. However, if you're a passionate Sonic fan who was going to make shit on your own time for free regardless, it's a nice cherry on top. Unless the person in charge is riding you like this is an actual job and not a fun basically-volunteer project where you can make your own hours and work on a loose deadline.
This type of casting call is specifically for fan artists who do free project shit all the time for fun and this is just a way for them to get a few lunches out of it for a change. It's not meant for real artists trying to make a living and looking for a job. I mean, unless you're like, a really talented 16-year old, then it would be a nice starter income.
Pay rate is typically commensurate with respect. You'd think that if they were paying you so little they'd be grateful you'd be willing to work on their shit, but my experience is that the people who pay the least are also typically the shittiest to work with. There will be endless edit requests, a lot of nitpicking, and nickel and diming. The attitude tends to be "I'm paying you so you have to take this".
The people who pay better also tend to be more respectful. They hire you because they want YOU and trust you to do your job.
Animators today are to entitled to work for 5 bucks an hour. since the regular wage is 5x that in a perfectional studio and 3x that in a independent studio. Hell you'd get payed more on Patreon.
I'm ignorant as to what this specifically means. Does the pose imply fully cleaned and colored drawing or does pose mean a rough sketch to get the feel of the pose (which ostensibly would be handed off to someone else for cleaning/color)?
If the former, $5 sounds very low to me. If rough sketch like a storyboard is what they mean, $5 might be pretty good. Not that I would know. I am not an artist.
>Hey Tails Sweetie, Hmmm?
>What's that you're drawing?
>You with a wiener peeing on Antoine, Aunt Sally. There's a guy in Echidnopolis who'll pay me 50 gold rings for it.
>That's not what chipmunk dick looks like, Tails
>ELIAS!
>C'MERE A MINUTE!
kek
true
What do you gays think of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog?
Actually canon cartoon that knows source-material. That alone makes it better than ShitAm.
Alright frick off and have a nice day, ESL. AoStH was a piss poor Looney Tunes/Felix The Cat rip off.
Even fricking Sonic X is better than Sonic's Felix The Cat rip off, even fricking Sonic Boom the Seinfeld ripoff is better than the notFelixTheCat rip off.
Sonic X was tedious how mediocre was. A solid 6/10 show which never bothered taking risks. And even in the Metarex season it was still written like ass.
It's funny, but it also has no place in modern Sonic. It's good in a vacuum.
>Actually canon cartoon
PFFFFFFFTTTTT AAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
>wooing a fan project for satam, with the intention of getting a full series blessed by sega
>for a sonic canon they don't speak of anymore
>because Archie sonic is over
>because Ken
Hopefully the one episode they produce will be either watchable or a hilarious train wreck, but otherwise, I don't ever see sega greenlighting satam again.
Sega is going to let them get close to the end and then slice their achilles tendon right before finish line.
Sega is actually pretty good about fanstuff (because they know they have no room to talk).
This Satamshit project is only gonna bring a bad time to everyone. Literally no ONE ever asked for it.
Man, people really need to let that stupid show rest.
Don't reply to boco. He hates Sally and Amy and will spend the entire thread doing so. Unless you like to waste time arguing with someone who gets off to it.
>He hates Sally and Amy
what? He want to marry Sonic?
Sonic is for Blaze.
But anyway, as long as they don't try to profit off it and it stays under the radar, Sega won't care about this thing. Assuming it ever gets finished.
No. Female Tails is for Sonic.
Boco, Blaze belong to Silver and no one else ever.
Go play Rush, man. Blaze is thirsty, and I ain't talking about milk.
And this.
Blaze is for Silver. Even the games can't help but keep them glued together, at least whenever Blaze shows up.
Silver is Blaze's moronic little brother at best.
>Rush, the game where Blaze spends the entire time actively disliking Sonic, and ends up beating him to a pulp for trying to help her
>Blaze literally just saying happy birthday
Boco I get you are literally Low-T and have a worse sex drive than the average toddler, but even you can't be so pathetic you're gonna spend your 40s self-inserting as a blue cardboard cerealbox mascot. Get a real life.
Self inserting is one of the cringiest, most pathetic things a person can do. The fact that Japan built an entire industry around it says alot about them.
And I mean this Silver, of course.
No, he wants Blaze to do that.
So does this mean people are going to go all Captain Marvel/Lightyear on this fanproduction if it actually gets off the ground?
That'd be fun to see.
What are you talking about? I haven't heard any Fan-project drama related to Lightyear or Captain Marvel.
Every SatAM/Archie thread ends like this.
Because anons keep taking the bait.
That's Archie diaper shits to you.
I see a few good ones, once in a while, but damn, some people in this thread really hat this show.
Its not some, its 1 anon that switches IPs and bait posts.
Why are Archiehomosexuals like this?
It's an archie/SatAM hater, there, actually.
Holy shit, you're truly inept. I was talking about you, moron. Why are you like this?
You weren't quoting me there
Yes, I fricking was. Jesus christ, get help.
Nope.
Do some math.
If you're animating on twos at 24fps you'd be making 60$ per second of animation with 12 drawing poses. If you spent a week animating a full minute of animation, that's 300$ for 720 poses. (If you're considering animating for a sonic fan project and asking about rates, you won't be able to do more than a minute a week.)
Chances are you won't actually draw that mane poses and end up having holds and stills, so you're likelier to make something like 150$ a week
>$5 USD PER POSE
This is going to be so fricking bad.

RIP
Why didn't Hurst ever try joining onto Archie if he wanted to continue working with the characters so bad? If the Romy Chacon pseudonym was an indication of something it was that the writers team was short staffed and failed to meet deadlines
Going from TV production to comics is a career downgrade I guess
>Going from TV production to comics is a career downgrade I guess
Coincidently, that pretty much explained a lot of the insanity behind Archie Sonic - a ton of writers and artist used to working on Big 2 capeshit got downgraded to the weird section of the kiddie table.
Thank goodness for Spaz being there to carry some hope
