Why is Indie Animation not the future?
the bar is too high now and yet the entry point to it is paradoxically low at the same timethere are professional teams and people who been doing this song and dance for decades alongside literal children who want to imitate them or doing it for fun using their phones with flipaclip and yet somehow there are animations from both sides of the equation that get views and likes while others crawl and beg for people to watch the animationthis isn't sustainable or stable at all in the long run but right now it works so people delude themselves that this is infact the future of western animation
>>155671283It isn't.
>>155671283It still is, and it's a mixed bag
Indie animation is like those tech start ups hoping their silly gimmick will get bought by one of the big dogs for a billion dollars. They might be small and "independent" but the goal is ultimately to sell out for cash and go pro as soon as possible.
>>155671283It's being artificially propped up by out of work industry people making Kickstarter after Kickstarter. Youtube AdSense pays jack shit and merch isn't always a guarantee to sell. Most of these are running at a loss while costing 40-250k a piece. This is also inflating the expectations of internet animation making it even more unattainable for newbies or low budget productions to break in.At the end, only a few of these studios/creators will make it out unscathedI also predict more and more of these indie studios will sell out to big corps. Zeurel, in addition to the Netflix licensing deal, admitted that he would give the exclusive rights if he had the opportunity.Most of these indie shows would

>>155671283The problem with Indie Animation is the distribution model. Unlike something like Indie Games who can publish their games for a set price on platforms like Steam, Indie Animation always has to monetize through indirect means like merch drops or Patreon rewards which makes it difficult to secure resources for continous series.
>>155671488>Doesn't even try to refuteDamn, Adolf, you've gotten lazy
>>155671499Lol, not your poopschizo
>>155671283Well, it IS the future, but that's only because everything always gets worse over time and the future fucking sucks.
>>155671283Large investment of time, resources and budget with very little returns. It’s a big gamble, and the reason why so many indie shows today take two years to make one episode and begin advertising their own merchandise to sustain themselves inbetween. That type of process is not for most people.
indie animation is being sold like a "Nintendo hire this man" thing and people get disappointed when they aren't hired by "Nintendo" (in this scenario any of the big corps)
>>155671524>it IS the futureTill the west stops kicking their animation studios and animators in the balls
>>155671283Why OP is a faggot?
It's not financially sustainable
how's this for a future*pees on gangle*
>>155671283This show is highly satanic because it was made by a trannysexualised
>>155671505He was referencing your digits you pinhead.
>>155671283Indie is destined to be snuffed out by industry. In all fields. Human passion and compassion have always been paved over in human history.
>>155671283>Why is Indie Animation not the future?Because you keep talking about the same 3 or 4 fucking shows even though there's thousands of other things to watch over there.
>>155671283Animators won't go the extra mile and camp together on dense cheap housing - instead always clinging to their sloppy suburbia, always wasting time to go to far away places on their expensive moving metal trash cans. They oughta subsist on jerky until the real profit rolls in. It has to be a military style operation.
>>155671283People want one episode per week not one episode every 2 years
>>155674560Trvth.
>>155671283Because animation isn't the future.
>>155671283All the people who would've been rightfully rejected had they applied to an industry job are running the show, and they suck at it. Everything in indie animation is only ever "good for indie" at best, with horribly sub par writing. The only thing that indie animation has is being le quirky fandom bait. >Oooh, that's so charming!>Oooh, that's so nostalgic!>Oooh, that's so LGBTBBQ positive!Do you really think anybody would give a fuck about TADC if the characters were all just normal humans? No. Of course not. Making Undertale style fandom sludge is all these hacks understand how to do. Maybe next time don't hire all your loser employees off fucking discord and twitter or memefag voice "actors".

>>155678321and yet only GF seems to be remembered huh
>>155680751Actually it’s Phineas and Ferb, an episodic yet formulaic show.
