The Pitfalls of the Animation Industry - Pros and Cons
Channel: Jean-Denis Haas
Date: 2020-02-11

The animation industry can be tough. It's important for you to research this field & listen to artists like Janet Chan who've had negative experiences. They're valid & they're important. 

(edit: at no point am I saying she is wrong for saying what she's saying; I thought I was clear about that in my clip but the comments and reactions are interesting to say the least, so let me state it again: she is not wrong and her opinions are valid, my experience is on the other side of the spectrum from staying at one company for a long time, separate from her experience with my own set of context (how did I get there, how did I manage to stay there for so long, etc.).

So here are my subjective thoughts regarding her post and what you should look out for in this industry.
