I know I would need to find people to animate it, but how many? Do I need a lot of equipment, or could I simply scan hand-made drawings on a computer? I know that would take longer than using a software and I know that the more animators the faster the work. However, 2D is my favorite style/format. Since detailed backgrounds and realistic-looking characters aren't as necessary in 2D as they are in 3D or even in stop-motion, I would be willing to take the cheap/slow route if necessary.
Would I have to find the people and pay them all by myself, or should I send the script to production companies specifying that there wouldn't be a deadline nor a high budget? Even if they like my script, would there be a risk of them saying "We'll only do it if it's 3D, which is what's popular nowadays."?
By the way, I'm talking about a short without dialogue (so no need to worry about actors; only a music composer, which is easier to find) and that won't last more than 10 minutes (maximum 14,400 frames/drawings).

You may have to create your own start-up animation studio. I'm not sure how much that would cost, but I would seek advice from a bank associate. First, I would write a story outline and then storyboard it. You can do the old-fashioned hand-and-paper drawing process or do it digitally on a drawing tablet using Storyboard Pro, Toon Boom Animation, or some other animation/storyboarding software. There are several tutorials on YouTube that show you how it's done. You can still animate the old-fashioned way and then scan the drawings onto your computer. Here's a website link into the equipment that you may find useful: 2D animation equipment. You're still going to need desktop or laptop computers to edit and color in the animation. Would I have to find the people and pay them all by myself, or should I send the script to production companies specifying that there wouldn't be a deadline nor a high budget? Even if they like my script, would there be a risk of them saying "We'll only do it if it's 3D, which is what's popular nowadays."? If you think you can't animate your short film by yourself, I would suggest you post several job listings for a temporary animator position on job board website like Indeed, but only do it if you have your finances in order. |

Why do you want to know that? Just curious. Not meant as any kind of criticism. |

Just do what American companies and hire a bunch of poor Korean animators willing to work for next to nothing

How much do you think that would cost? There is no set answer that I could provide. It depends on the quality of animation you are willing to spend. At best, start with $10,000. |
