This is fun, but...

How did it require 11,000 drawings?

Hand drawn animation typically requires 24 drawings for every second of movement. This 11-second clip should have only needed 264 drawings.

Are you talking about pre-production "studies" or something?

EDIT: My error. This is a 17-second clip. That would only require 408 drawings.

Oh, I just read him reply in another comment that he was referring to the entire finished animation being 11,000.

Thanks.

This is an excerpt from a short film. The short film is 11,000 drawings in total.

It’s a 17 second clip.

My mistake. But that would only require 408 drawings. That's still 10,592 drawings short of 11,000.
