"Over 20 months, I had to deliver 25 thousand frames, and those 25 thousand frames corresponded to a 10-second scene, so to speak"
Animation runs at 24 frames per second, so 10 seconds of animation would be 240 frames.
She's off by a factor of 104. LOL. A liar AND bad at math.
25,000 frames would be 1,041 seconds or 17.36 minutes of the film.
It was for the IMAX 240fps version, obviously. Go big or go home.
20 months will be about 600 days so about 41 frames a day or about 1.7 frames every single hour lol. Its such an insane lie
May there be separately animated creatures or objects later put into the composition of a shot?
As far as I know no, in traditional animation every frame is done in one go, except when there's CGI involved (and even in that case there's just one person "drawing").
Discuss anime! Say a little, say a lot, or even just upvote your favorite show.
Episodic discussions and Rewatches are welcome.
