Parody Animations

Another request I get frequently is to make an animation for a song parody. So far I have turned all of these down and here are the reasons why:

1. Parodies have been done to death. After they died they were done a million more times and I am sure another million are in the works. It just isn't special anymore and I think that is reflected in the number of views they get.

2. Quality. Smaller channels have a lot less resources and the overall quality is obviously lower. Combine this with number 1 to bring the views down a little more.

3. The split. Similar to number 2, small channels generally will divide up the work between many different channels. One channel picks the song and writes the lyrics, another channel makes the music, another does the vocals, another channel creates the animation or in game footage. In the end all these people want to grow their channels and may not be happy with just a link in the credits. The result may be a video that is uploaded on several channels. So whatever views the video would have gotten are split 2 or 3 (maybe more) ways.

As an animator it just is not worth the 100+ hours of work.
