Do studios like MAPPA do small animation projects for the right amount of money? Do studios like MAPPA do small animation projects for the right amount of money? It seems that MAPPA only does animation they're paid to do by TV stations, so I am wondering if they would be willing to accept work from a single individual as long as they get paid.
In paper yes (http://mappa.co.jp/mappa_e/contact.html). But, it's more better if you have connection with someone over there or a representative that as one.
You might be actually also be better off contacting an animator directly though if the animation project is like really small. Since most animators are contractors / freelancers.
