Rainimator Production Team

The **Rainimator Production Team** is a group of writers, animators and skin/set designers working under Rainimator. They were formed during the creation of *Wishing Dead* and have helped create subsequent episodes. The faster release intervals after "Falling" have been attributed to their work.

## History

The Production Team was originally made up of Rain and a few animators, however applications for other roles were released on the Rainimator Discord on the 9th February, 2020. Five members were publicly added the next day to the roster.

As of June 2021, the Production Team consists of 13 known members.

## Trivia

* The Assistant Animation and Writing divisions are the largest of the Production Team, housing 7 members.
	+ Out of the nine Assistant Animators, only 2 (Arda and Dexter) have more than one role.
	+ Dexter is the only one that overlaps on both of the mentioned divisions.
* Dexter Kronos, XEliteXCraftersX, CrossMight | Arda, ViewCraft and The\_MLG\_Pizza are the only four Production team members that have more than one job.
	+ All but ViewCraft are Skin Designers.
	+ XEliteXCraftersX, The\_MLG\_Pizza and Arda are all Asset Creators.
	+ Elite, ViewCraft and Dexter are Map Creators (though Dexter is only credited for one).
	+ Arda and Dexter are both Assistant Animators (the latter as of Nightmares).
	+ The\_MLG\_Pizza, ViewCraft and Dexter are Writers.
		- Dexter and ViewCraft were originally only assigned as Writers.
* Erumation was the first Production Team member to resign, quietly leaving the Production Team on the 18th August, 2020. He announced this in the general chat of the Rainimator Discord. His leave was short lived, as he has returned to the Production Team, however, had left yet again.
	+ The second person to leave and return was Kam, whose exact leave and rejoin date is undetermined.
	+ The other three, alius, QCAnimations and Lycan have left and not returned in any time.
* Not all members of the Production Team appear on the Crew Board in the Rainimator Discord, with Nerius, Lightnest, Nicccoccin, Calaman/Fred, Fred, Old Chad Roman, ViewCraft and Aru missing from the board.

### Production Team Cameos

	+ The\_MLG\_Pizza appeared in 1 of a Kind as the second zombie Zach was forced to fight, as well as holding a "tribute character" in the form of Doctor Fegelin in Be Afraid.
