Ok so i saw a post mentioning how Spindlehorse was hiring animators again, and i thought "huh yknow im really curious what the turnover rate of animators is in this studio" because i mean its a genuine question considering how i swear theyre hiring new animators every other week
So then i checked IMDB...
Before i go on i wanna put some context because its kinda needed for what im about to say:
On IMDB there's a section of the cast and crew page labeled "Series Animation Department". This is the section meant primarily for animators and storyboarders among other jobs in the same vein.
Now. Can you guess how many animators/storyboarders Helluva Boss has gone through in less than 2 seasons?
That is four hundred and forty-four individual credits, a majority of whom didn't stay for any longer than a few episodes. I have never in my life seen an animator turnover rate this skewed.
But i saw this and i went "well it cant be that bad right, what about other shows?" because admittedly i didnt know a lot about animation so for all i knew this was normal. So i went to the IMDB pages of other animated shows
RWBY: 164 credited animators over 9 seasons
Murder Drones: 11 Animators over 7 episodes
The Owl House: 88 Animators over 3 seasons
Amphibia: 73 over 3 seasons
Steven Universe: 44 over 5 seasons
And just to be fair let's include Hazbin Hotel, which had 62 in 1 season
This means that for one reason or another Helluva Boss has gone through more animators in less than 2 seasons than shows that ran for SIGNIFICANTLY longer go through in their entire lifespan by several times and that astounds me
Hey guys! Reminder that hazbin hotel has a considerably big amount of uncredited animators (which currently are struggling to find jobs BECAUSE of the lack of crediting, giving them no way to prove their work oficially), which means that there's a huge change that helluva boss ALSO has that!
More info on lack of crediting that I'm aware of: The only thing credited was the studio, and it was credited as "extra animation" when the studio did in fact animate the whole episode. None of the individual animators had their name mentioned in the credits therefore making them not be shown in IMDb as "part of the crew", and making it impossible to the team that worked on the credited studio to add that to their portfolio. This is only one instance of the lack of crediting btw! Not the first time and probably not the last.
My living situation is rough right now. I’m disabled transgender man. My ex ditched me and her dog. (I asked her why and she said she had no real reasons)
I had to move without furniture for myself
I’m sleeping on hardwood w/ deflated air bed and blanket
I need donations or (pay after) work. 20$ for sketches and doodles
50$ for portrait
80$ for fanart com with bg, like pikmin or pokemon
My work and flat bed :(
I don't care what exactly you choose to do with your rage as you witness people dig out their loved ones with their bare hands from underneath a burnt out tent. Just do something, anything! We've been listing out the options for you for years, and they go from boycotting products to protesting on the streets, with so much more in between. I don't care that you don't see a direct impact, but what the hell does not doing anything achieve? Do something!
Hi I love your art!! It really reminds me of helluva boss, were you inspired by vivziepop at all??? She's my idol💖
Imagine being buried alive and then seeing this little guy with a backpack suddenly arrive
It gets better. The little backpack has a two-way radio.
So you’re trapped under rubble, and then a rat shows up. Flicks a switch on its little tumtum. And starts talking to you.
#I love the hashtag women in STEM bc at first I thought they meant the rat 🙈 (via @sprotteswelt)
until you said that it never occurred to me that the woman in STEM was the scientist and not the rat. i was just like “hell yeah, this rat is a powerful woman pioneering lifesaving technologies as a rescue ranger”
