ANIMATION: Kinsay kahibaw ug interesado?

@Jnom

If that's the case then i'd rather work from here..a friend of mine in manila says that 2d animators working at top animation studios in manila are paid at least 50k above..well i don't know exactly..i have to take my friend's word for it..pero from what you're telling me is that..the best situation would be is: Animate at home (Philippines) then get paid in dollars or some other currency that way when you convert that into pesos..you're actually earning as much..

I'd like to ask..when the animators get experience.where would they go when they stop working?..thinking that they're worth is more than what they are being paid?..don't they still work even if gamay ang sweldo pero mang raket lang sa outside?..how do the veteran animators survive?..if they quit when they get experience?

Jnom if you have time i hope you read this article it's about illustrators who adapted to the needs of the market..though this happened many several decades ago..but i think the situation in the said article and the situation of the 2d animation industry is quite the same and like some of the artists in the article adapted to the changing times.

The subject, the media used or the clients hiring might be different but the skill is the same..drawing. So im pretty sure most of the artists have adapted to the changing times..some became 3d artists some didn't but used the same skill they did for animation but this time it isn't animation but other things like concept design or storyboarding but still required the same skills as what they use when they animate. that's basically the gist or the main idea of my argument..that 2d isn't dead 2d art will always be there it might not be the end product or what we see on screen but it is still being used in a different way.

nice thread! I love animation. Back in highschool, all the edges of my books are all used up for my stick animations. I'd like to learn doing it with a software but I just can't find the time.

Ako lang sad ni nga opinyon ha. Nanukad man jud ning istoryaha gikan sa 'animation' sa, unya kay kini usa man ni ka panagway sa usa ka propesyon hain ang uban ni bulahan ug niaduhan gumikan sa ingun ani nga pagpanginabuhi. Ang uban minglampus ug nakatukod ug dako nga industriya samtang ang kadaghanan ingnun sad natu nga naningkamot pa sad.

Para lang sad nako ang industriya sa 'animation' Philippine situation di jd molambo, kay una;
- walay mga kompanya nga mobubu sa ilang kapital kay para mogama ug mga produkto nga animated kay tungud
- ikaduha gamay ra man sad ang naka antigu sa pag animate kay
- ikatulo wala man kitay institusyon nga nag-ugmad sa kaalam sa pag 'animate' o sa laktud nga pagkasulti di pa ta hinog para ani nga industriya.

Pero wala ko nagsulti nga di ta mo salir ani nga butang, dili lang jud ni siya molangtud sa atung politikal ug ekonomikanhun nga sitwasyon. Ubay ubay man sad natung mga Cebuano nga kaantigu mo 'animate' apan dili lang jd ka sustinir kung mao ni ang atung saligan isip panginabuhian.

usa ra ka word akong masulti ani...

freelance outsourcing

aw two words diay...hehehe!!!

and im sure wla pd ka na belong ani na profession bro noh?

a friend of mine has an outsourcing gig..ni expand na gani sya nya nang hire ug laing tao para sa iyang studio
he charges per minute..i think maka kwarta syag 100k+ php for every gig..ako..i used to work for an outsourcing company dri sa cebu..flash animator ko before and i had a paycheck of 20k per month..ni resign ko kai naa lang jd internal differences sa akoang superior sayang pero dli man gd nako ma stand akong superior so nihawa jd ko.. but i was able to find another job..but karn i focused on illustration gigs over the net..and right now i have acquired some gadgets to help me accommodate animation projects which i could charge $100 per animation...gamay pa gani na..

pero your post do indeed speak the truth to some degree..tinuod jd na dli pa jd kaayo ingon ana ka daghan ang mga investors sa kani na field of arts pero it's gaining its ground slowly..naa man daghan sa manila sa cebu wla pa jd kaayo..ge lang hopefully musaka napd ang cebu..daghan baya mga maayo dri..wla lang silay ka trabahoan so manglarga sa singapore or sa laing nasod..pero honestly if naai mutukud ug ingon ani na klase na komunidad dri sa cebu im sure kining trabahoa mahimo naning "normal" as normal as a call center job.
