Hey guys!

I think if you were an animator, you get these a lot: "OMFG! It's been 6 months! Why is there no new vid yet? Are you dead?". Then a flood of replies either agree or throw stones at the commenter. I'm not, but it is honestly quite annoying to go on a video and that's all you see after the animator is 'inactive' for a few months.

This holds true for some animated series' such as ElementAnimation's 'An Eggs's Guide to Minecraft' series (I am not sponsored but you should check them out! ^^). Using their vids as an example, on a normal video not related to Minecraft, at least one guy would comment : "JUST STOP DOING THESE AND MAKE MORE AEGTM(An Egg's Guide to Minecraft)!!!!!"

What SkyDoesMinecraft says is true: Don't hate, appreciate. These animators burn countless hours of their time trying to make these animations for you. If you can't comment ON  the video, at least don't go around begging for more of a particular series.

Also, when it's been 6 months, and a video 3 minutes long has been posted, don't scream at the animator asking for a longer vid. Just so you know, it takes weeks just to get 1 minute out.

Animating is hardwork. If you really think it is that easy to release a 10 minute animation, then please, google the process and it might just BLOW your mind! Also, don't you think it's better to have more diversity on a channel?
 
That's about it!

Until next time!

I believe Slamacow said something like this. (Maybe Weedlion? SOME ANIMATOR SAID IT IDK)
Animating takes days upon days of sitting there working away. It gets tedious, I've tried animating, but I've gave up countless times. Kudos to all the animators out there.

Agree! Slamacow did make a behind the scenes video on his Creeper Encounter video. It shows how difficult it is just to animate a video.

I agree with this blog. I am a fan of element animation, and I have tried to make animations before. It takes a long time, and they are not just animating one character at a time, but multiple. Doing so makes it take longer, but it looks better and is more entertaining. +Diamond
