For those TLDR people: the numbers are not actually for a full year. It should look something like 1.2 Million yen, or about US$8000 per year.
Yeah, absolutely still too low.
Break down
1.The OP said it was first year. And Japan’s fiscal working year starts in April.
2.Payments are usually done 1.5~2 months after handing in invoice at end of month. Meaning the payments was most probably from June to December.(Tax is based on earnings from Jan to Dec… totally goofy)
3.So that would mean the payment slip is for 7 months of work… or less, depending on how long their training period is. And yes, most are unpaid. That depends on the studio.
4.It is from 10 years ago so things have changed. Not for all though, sad to say.
Not saying it is a good or normal pay, but it is better than it looks.
Still, doing in-betweens is a skill that is necessary for animation. Most overseas animators, the younger ones, lack in that aspect and is taking a toll on the industry.
Of course the manpower is appreciated but would be much better for everyone if the fundamentals are properly instilled.

@CoolComicArt I finish line art for 3 whole webtoon chapters in a month, and that's a lot of work with barely any brakes. He's a beast.

You really can't go far in #animation without mastering the fundamentals

I'm not going to watch ithe leaks out of respect for the animation team that worked on it, but the statistics clearly prove this movie would've made SERIOUS BANK if released in theatres. Paramount fumbled...HARD!

1000 animation/VFX artists, not animators. There are many other disciplines in animation like lookdev, rigging, modeling, hair sim, FX, texture paint, lighting, compositing. 🥲

Over 1,000 animators worked on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), the largest crew ever for an animated film. They developed unique visual languages for every dimension, ensuring no two "universes" shared the same art style.
