i paid animators on fiverr to make my dream anime

What I've always liked about you, Jabrils, is that you're a curious optimist. You're not scared of the sunk-cost fallacy. You learn in your own way. Thanks for sharing your story.

Ngl id watch jabrils drama channel bro

An an animator, the moment you said "90 minute episode " and "Fiverr artist" I nearly passed out. That's an entire feature length film that would take a whole production team at least 2 years to complete.

This really do be a mouth talking moment

"How are animations sustainable?" They're not, they are always hoping to make it back with merchandise and blu-ray sales. And things like over exploitation and studios closing down are not a rare thing.

Yep. The whole way through I was thinking "drop the perfectionism and get an ugly prototype going". So many people (myself included) focus so much on small details at the expense of the whole thing never getting started. Glad to see you cut your losses at only $4k and started focusing on what you can move forward with what you've already got. Generate some interest first, then decide how much to invest based on that. You're a great storyteller, and I'm excited to see that in anime form :D

Can't wait for the next one, "teaching an AI to help me win at high stakes poker so I can fund my projects"

I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A BAD IDEA

as an animator that likes to post his old animations dude making a 15 animations is hard af without a team

jabrils ive been watching you for years . you literally the reason i got into coding , i would hate to see you leave yt:((

5 minutes into this video, I said, "Oh no... sunken cost fallacy!" And lo and behold, he mentioned it by name!

looking forward to the drama channel

Yo some of yall asked some real critical questions, & so I replied to some of your comments in a video, check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDJ2p3FWvfM&t=199s&pp=sAQA

This is a good client view of the industry. Most clients have unrealistic expectations of what goes into a good product. Also trying to under cut artist says a lot about the client and what they think about you and your time.

Are we not going to talk about the fact that he use Google to search Google

If you're looking to create an IP, you need to write. And then add concept art to that writing. You don't need models and animations. You need to write all the content and story. Then release some or all as a PDF with concept art you've commisioned. Much cheaper and is a great first step. Then if you grow a loving fanbase, you can turn those things into more upgraded versions of the IP. Think Harry Potter or DragonBall as a manga. These IPs didn't start by making anime. You're trying to fly before learning to control your ki my guy.

This is WAY too relatable - in any passion project it’s incredibly hard to stop hyper focusing on the nuanced details! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

Jabrils, WTF? Your exit plan is literally the easiest thing ever. YOU JUST APPLY FOR A JOB AS A PROGRAMMER. You have a youtube channel with 462K subscribers, you have done a lot of cool and interesting projects. They would pay you so much money to get you on their team. And for the youtube thing all i can say is you definetly have the skills to turn it around. Just think of clickbait ideas, create clickbaity thumbnails and then actually deliver. And try to contact other content creators and ask them for advice.

animation is no joke fam haha, shit aint easy. Good luck!

I definitely would've done some research and talked to a 3d producer or something before going balls deep in this.
