Investigation of Process Economy Types Suitable for Acquiring Animation Production Funds

Abstract

Animation studios sometimes offer process economies as returns when they solicit production costs. Based on the hypothesis that “the type of preferred process economy differs depending on the genre of animation,” this study surveyed whether awareness of process economies are suitable as crowdfunding returns. The mean values and standard deviations of the survey revealed that the working view and intermediate products — such as production sites, scenes, backstories, rejected illustrations, and doodles — were favorable for all genres. Negative information — such as “creator conflicts”, “busy schedules,” and “complaints about work” Likewise, private information such as “creators' faces,” “life advice,” and “meals” were unfavorable for all genres. The information compatible with each genre differed.
