May Dormitory Diary Entry - Kimura (Patreon)

Hello, it's Kimura, age 24. I've been invited to a friend's wedding and am here to post my May dormitory diary entry.

I've been working as an assistant key animator for a little while now. As I interact with more production teams now that I’m doing key animation rather than in-between animation, I'm becoming increasingly more conscious that more people are seeing my drawings. It's both gratifying and daunting to hear their feedback. One time, I received praise for “detailed work,” which made me very happy. I try to work without cutting corners and am happy to continue doing so.

This month, I managed to complete 14 cuts of assistant key animation and 20 frames of in-between animation. It seems that payments for assistant key animation are calculated by the cut rather than by the number of frames. I'm curious about how much others in my role will be able to produce next month.

Next month, my goal is to work on 20 cuts!

P.S. The first time I was credited as an assistant key animation was for Gundam👍.

こんにちは。友達に結婚式に呼ばれました。

２4才。木村です。 5月の寮生日記を投稿します。

２原をはじめて少したちました。動画の時より他社の制作さんとのやり取りが増えたことも重なり、自分の絵が色々な人に見られていると自覚します。いい絵だったりそうでないというのを直接聞けるのがありがたかったり、怖かったり。１度、丁寧な仕事ありがとうございますと声を貰えたのがとても嬉しかったです。手を抜かずに頑張っていきたいと思います。

今月は2原14カット、動画20枚こなせました。２原からは単価が枚数換算ではなくカットで請求するみたいです。描ける人たちは月にどれくらい描いているのか気になります。

来月は20カット目標で頑張ります！

p.s.初第２原画でクレジットいただいたのはガンダムでした
