No they don’t do that. Especially for anime. What they have found is that the copy paste and tweak method produces stiff results so no one in the industry does that. It’s a weird phenomenon.
Every frame is literally sketched by hand entirely which makes actual skill required. Anime especially given the more realistic human proportions and extensive use of z-axis. For something like sponge bob or South Park in the US it’s much easier... but in Japan the animation is a real skill.
Take a look at this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yglxt331WoY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yglxt331WoY . This type of skill of animating is basically non existent now in any place other then japan.
Also blacksmiths were not always the least paid. Prior to the industrial revolution it was a common job.
- Arnavion 6y agoYou've cherry-picked examples of big budget scenes. The vast majority of anime is static backgrounds with slow pans and static characters with mouth flaps. The backgrounds and characters often get outsourced and the studio just adds facial features and mouth flaps.
- neonological 6y agoIt’s not that cherry picky. There’s thousands of scenes like the one I posted that require raw skill. Yes the majority of anime is mouth flapping but every episode usually contains at least one or two or more action scenes where real skill is involved. If anything the people who do these scenes which I’m assuming is the same people who do the mouth flapping requires raw skill that is not easy to come by. If there is a role for a low skill artist that exclusively does mouth flapping then yes it’s an oversupply side issue for those people, but it does not explain the low wage of the person who does the action scenes.
