      Traditional isn't dying out, there's clearly monstrous demand for it. The problem is profitability and time, and the fact there just aren't enough skills animators who can animate characters in one or two passes.

      Its not dying out traditional animation is just a method to express art. Its like saying ppl don’t use claymation anymore. Also, not sure what u meant by traditional cuz that would be done on paper. I think the accurate comparison is raster vs vector animation and raster animation is actually very popular. If u ever seen vector animation it sorta gives u like paper cutout style animation. But either or, depends on the persons tastes their both good raster is better imo

      You are a very very heavily misinformed gullible fool with no base knowledge.
      Traditional/2d Animation is very far from "Dying out" is is still being utilized everywhere as well as other animated methods that its existing alongside with it.
      How about doing your research before coming off as an misinformed fool.

      my simple n rough animation in my channel there, took me like more than 1 hour. only like.. 5 frames/pictures there. i forgot how much time it took. back then i was newbie at animation. 2013 maybe. or 2015. idk.
      i disable comment and some stuffs about that video because some ppl dislike n even commenting bad comments to that animation. the heck... it's like mocking a baby because that baby can't talk n walk.
      dont mock newbies, ppl.. -,-
      ahh. lets continue..
      plus, in the big Japanese animation studio, they usually like.. they share the work to other animation studio. they even do some outsourcing too. like.. freelancer animator n illustrator too.
      WIT Studio is not alone back then. IG Production, JC Staff, etc helps them too. And it's not just about the animation.. it's also about the music n sound.
      And now it's also not just MAPPA Studio that animating SnK season 4. go look at their credits both in the opening n ending.

I've always been intimidated by planning sheets and multiple colors in the sketch, but you make it look so easy I want to jump right in! You're the only tutorial I've found on UA-cam that is willing to show everything (not just jump-cut to: *finished product!!!*). I seriously mean it when I say that this helps tremendously.
