I got this made for like 130 bucks

Ok to be frank im not saying the other guy's stuff isnt a bit overpriced but there is barely any movement happening in this video, while theirs has full motion that seems to move at 12 different drawings every second, very smoothly at that. Not exactly equal tbh

Who did you commission?

"I paid sweatshop prices for this" okay

Idk if you noticed brother but that one has a fuckton of still frames, non-moving backgrounds

tbh. This is just 90% scrolling backgrounds. which while is still impressive. isn't the same as the OP tweet at all. tell the same artist to make the same animation but this time have a person fluidly break-dance in different perspectives the entire time. see how much that cost

If it was made by that guy it would cost half a million dollars 😭

Yeah,they are underpaid your point?

Gonna be honest, their stuff is incredibly fluid, and clearly has a lot of effort. Not saying this didn't have any effort, but there's much less movement, and it's not as smooth. Prices can be debatable, but there's clearly a lot of work in their stuff

Hm 12 unique backgrounds, 2-3 frames of loop in some of them, alteration for one background for time shift. It is a simple animation, but work was put into the backgrounds That said, full motion animations takes a lot of work, and is mentally more taxing I've animated, I'd know

Tell that guy they make real good backgrounds. Lovely colors

Tbf thats insane value for money. Who did that?

That artist does good work, but 400 for a 2 second loop? Hot damn

why would you do that

Artist?

that feels way too cheap for a minute animation bro

Just sounds like you're underpaying your artist. Also, this is less animation.

how

That was good

this is real good clean work. drop the animator they deserve more, and better work

This is probably made by somebody in a different country but if it’s the US then $130 is 8 hours of minimum wage work. To make 14 unique drawings along with animating 2-3 frames of some of them would mean you’d have 35 minutes to complete each beautifully drawn image Not easy
