Animating in Perspective and keeping your character "On Model" is harder to do in 2D traditional animation rather than CG.<br /><br />Hope that helps and if you need some help on something, you know where to find me.Animateducatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890961153938676775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7865826126449923096.post-33671571135234533632017-02-07T13:21:55.041-08:002017-02-07T13:21:55.041-08:00Hi Jim,

I was wondering whether you could give me some advice on the opposite situation: Finding a good freelancer.<br /><br />I have twice hired animators for traditional animation on Upwork, which seems to be the largest online platform for freelancers. However, I was disappointed on both accounts. My impression is that most of the artists there work for rather low fees (the $30/h I paid seems to be on the higher end there), but also rather unexperienced in traditional animation: things like perspective or consistency between drawings.<br /><br />So I wonder: Where are all the experienced traditional animators? Where are the people who worked on all the animated cartoons, computer games, and Disney movies up to the 1990s? How can I find a seasoned animator who is open to small-ish gigs? I'm grateful for any insights!<br /><br />Best,<br />Daniel<br />Daniel Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353662080451804048noreply@blogger.com
