I wonder if the rapeface is a job requirement.

Glad I wasn't only one who thought he was creepy.

That was my favorite part of the video. All though the parts when the music would drown out what the narrator was saying were pretty good too.

I presume that they will be hiring from the sex offender registry.

If nothing else, it's interesting to FINALLY get a little insight on salary. approx $30k/yr (and only that high because of the currently awful exchange rate) to be a production mgr. I'm curious what the hours are like, because it could be below min wage (for US) if they're pulling high hours like some US entertainment companies do.

(and yeah, you'd think an animation house making their own commercial would at LEAST have better facial expressions)

For a company which prides itself on professionalism, it did a poor job of balancing the audio of the background music so it didn't interfere with the recruiting voice.

Wait, animation is slave labor?

Who would have thought?

They should really be hiring for an audio/video mixer, since who-ever did this piece of work deserves to be fired for that awful audio drowning out the narrator.

It seems distressingly consistent animation work generally. I read an article on Cartoon Brew yesterday that gave the average starting salary for an animator at the New York branch of Titmouse Studios as $20,800. I earned more than that working as a temporary loan operations assistant at a back in suburban Bethlehem.

Yes, and to make sure that the audio works with the acoustics of a windowless van.

The animated guy is a little too creepy, especially that smirk he makes every dang time. But other than that, the rest of the video was quite funny and interesting to watch.

I have to wonder though, is the animated guy seriously worth it? Or the smirks at least...

I wasn't in any way SURPRISED, I'm just saying it's interesting to get ACTUAL numbers rather than vague generalities like "it doesn't pay well", which is subjective.
