I don't think "indie animation" is gonna "save the industry." I think it is gonna help some people stay afloat for a while, and inspire others not to give up on making art. I hope people never give up on making art.

If anything, my biggest concern with "indie animation" getting "too big" would be that the term gets immediately associated with "high production value" and "mainstream appeal" when, historically, indie animation has been weird and crafty.

People have been making indie animated projects for ages. Everything just has a more mainstream look now that a bunch of seasoned professionals are making stuff outside of the traditional studio system.

My BIG Opinion on Indie Animation: I'm happy ppl are making things that fulfill them, and are finding ways to create jobs for themselves in this unemployment wasteland. It sucks that a 100 year old industry was co-opted by theme park managers and marketing executives that destroyed it from within

I have also seen people say "your indie animation project should be attainable, it does not need to be all sakuga," but I'm like "what if someone REALLY wants to do that? It is not a business model, it is a single project."
