Let 'em talk. You’re out here building worlds frame by frame, while they act like a boom mic and a weather delay make something more legit. Animation isn’t a side hustle, it’s cinema. If people don’t get that, it says more about their imagination than your work. ALSO, guess who’s watching animated shows, sharing animated memes, quoting animated movies? Everyone. What you do takes vision, patience, and skill that most people wouldn’t last a day doing.
That’s crazy that someone would say that, animation is an integral part of the industry! I would love to have the opportunity to work in animation (stop-motion that is haha)
What you’re coming in contact with is a bias that has existed as long as there has been visual effects and animation. The industry remains segmented via areas of expertise. Anyone who is making comments that put animation in a lower tier than “real” filmmaking is speaking from a place that is profoundly uneducated. Don’t pay it any mind. As tech continues to evolve the lines between what is animation, what is photoreal and what is first unit capture will continue to blur. Surrounded yourself with people who respect the craft of animation and the amazing storytelling opportunities it has always and continues to represent.
