As long as you do not care about the originality and quality, CG animation is cheap and fast.
In China, some cartoon production companies have made money out of fast paced 3D animations. They copied the story board from Japanese ancestor anime frame by frame, got the scenes constructed and complete the animation and voices. Finally they got government subsidies counted by not the gross cost but minutes of production!
BTW, 3D animations have been proved to be cheaper than 2D ones in this scenario, as many models get reused times and times again.
- malkia 13y agoNetflix has plenty of these animations, and it's hard to keep my son off them. Some of them are real bad, like this one - Legend Of Kung Fu Rabbit - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1876517/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1876517/
- tinco 13y agoWow that movie has a trailer that looks really good! So it's very obviously an almost direct copy of Kung Fu Panda, but they did put a lot of work in it. You can see it lacks some polish here and there, but on the whole I'm surprised at the quality of the graphics and animation.
- gohrt 13y ago> Rebecca Black Is that accurate??
- ttflee 13y agoI'm afraid this is not the type of anime I was discussing. The Legend Of Kung Fu Rabbit seems to have certain originality. What I mentioned was those copy-cat animated TV series potentially violating IP of the original creators. The average quality was much rougher than this one.
- thenomad 13y agoInteresting info! I didn't know about that. I have a blog post on "quality" coming up: whilst I care a great deal about originality, for my purposes animation is a vector for story, not an end in itself.
