Here’s a CNN link that talks about how they were animating for shows like invincible. Iirc the people behind the show didn’t know but it’s a symptom of the problem with outsourcing everything.
Yeah oir economy is so abstract that everything becomes subcontracted out to another firm. I have a product I can’t make, so i give company X $2million to make it. They cant do it, so they give company Y$500,000 to make it. Company Y doesn’t have the means, so they pay company Z $100,000 to make it. Company Z has the ability to make it, so they pay 2 dozen people in Cambodia $3 a day for a month to make all the units i need.
