All 7 rules of r/animation
- No content theft or Gen AI - 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. - "AI generated videos" heavily rely on content theft, work including Gen AI text or imagery participating in content theft - Admissible Content
- Posts must relate to the topic of animation. - Posted content seen as unfit for this subreddit may be removed without further notice. - The most fitting flair should be given to the post (comply with other rules) - 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.) - No slideshows (mostly static images) with filters/effects applied (e.g. just zooming, panning, etc.) - No AI: That means 'text to video', 'style transfer', 'AI frame interpolation' or similarly 'generated' content will never be allowed. - Rules for Hiring Animators
- Hiring/ Recruiting posts must include the following: - Animation style: At least as specific as 2D or 3D animation. Better if more specific. Include examples if possible. - Project scope: Length of the animation, deadline, duration of employment, estimated number of work hours - Budget: Fiat currency (e.g. no crypto). Minimum at least equivalent to $20/hour (or local average wage). For fixed length animation, use reasonable average creation time per frame as measurement. - Contact info - Rules for Collaboration Projects
- If you want to invite animators to a project to collaborate on (e.g. "just for fun") use the 'Collaboration' flair. - If you want to offer help of any kind for someone else's project, use the 'Let me help you' flair. - You must be an animator to propose a collaboration project (proof required), otherwise the rules for hiring animators apply. - The proposed project scope must not exceed your personal skill level and must be realistically achievable - Implicit Rules
- Any rule that follows as a logical consequence of the other rules must also be respected. This includes but is not limited to: - From #4 and #5 follows: People with no animation experience themselves must be able properly compensate any animator they seek to work with. - From #2, #4 and #5 follows: Any non animation related topic must be directly and primarily beneficial to animators. - Reasons your posts doesn't show up immediately or at all
- Your account is not yet 30 days old and has not yet acquired 15 total karma - Your Account has negative comment karma - Your post seems to not comply with the content quality control - You hiring post doesn't include what you will pay your animators - Your collaboration post needs to be reviewed first In all cased a manual review will be scheduled. Post still blocked after 24 hours were not approved. You will not be informed about the approval but may be about the reason for removal.
