Ask Me Anything ~ Special Guest Edition Hi Reddit, Mike McMahan, Joe Chandler and Giancarlo Volpe of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+ here. Ask Us Anything!

92 Upvotes

Hi reddit, I’m Mike McMahan, co-creator and executive producer of the new animated show GOLDEN AXE on Paramount+! (It’s weird to put an exclamation point after a + but here we are.) This is a great season: an epic quest with mighty characters from Sega’s Golden Axe games. And it's funny! Previously, I was the creator/showrunner and executive producer of Star Trek: Lower Decks, co-creator and co-showrunner of Solar Opposites, and once upon a time I was a writer/ showrunner on Rick & Morty. My career started off as a production assistant at Drawn Together and at South Park. I’m down to talk about Golden Axe and all this nerdy stuff, so AMA!

Hey Reddit! I'm Joe Chandler. I'm the co-creator and showrunner of the new series Golden Axe based on the SEGA Genesis game. Growing up a SEGA kid, working on this show has been a dream come true. Before Golden Axe, I worked on over 200 episodes of American Dad in various roles including writer, producer, and executive producer. Ask me anything!

Hello reddit! I’m Giancarlo Volpe and I’m the Supervising Producer / Director of Golden Axe on Paramount+! Previously I’ve was a director on Avatar the Last Airbender, Star Wars the Clone Wars, and Star Vs The Forces of Evil. I’ve also produced/ supervised/ and/or Executive Produced lots of other shows, including The Boys Diabolical, Green Lantern the Animated Series and The Dragon Prince. Basically I’ve made a lot of animation, and I’m excited to talk about Golden Axe or anything else! Ask away!

We’ll be back tomorrow at 12pm ET/9am PT to answer any of your questions!!

Discussion As a junior colouring artist, I am being paid 0.1usd per frame. Is it fair price.

51 Upvotes

Hi I am a colouring artist based in the South Asia region. I am a junior colouring artist and have worked on some anime titles. I am being paid 0.1 USD regardless of the difficulty of the frame. I can complete about 20 high difficulty frames per day and that totals to 2 USD per day. I don't think it is a fair price. I am new to this work and i don't know the market prices and how the industry works.

Critique How long should an animation like this take on average

I want to gauge how much faster I need to go, so how long should an animation like this take, from the idea to the final animation.

Submission Rules

No content theft - Permaban

* Sharing work done by others is absolutely fine, but taking credit for it and passing it off as your own is absolutely not allowed and will result in an instant permaban.

* Original creator and original name of the animation must be included in the title of the post, if the work isn't yours.
Admissible Content

* Posts must relate to the topic of animation.

* Posted content seen as unfit for this subreddit may be removed without further notice.

* Comments should be formulated with a common sense level of politeness.

* NSFW posts must include reason in the title (e.g. nudity/ suggestive content, blood, etc.).
Quality Control A reasonable amount of effort should be put into your submissions. This means:

* No questions where a good answer can be found on the first page of the google results (e.g. no "what animation software to use for X?", "am I too old to start animating?", etc.)
