You can shoot for the stars and do whatever obviously (its up to you). But when it comes to production, especially once you bring money and other people into it, it's best to be honest and realistic about what you can do. Dont try to roleplay as an industry studio.

My unasked advise for people looking to get into indie animation, is to figure out what you can and can't do, then base your production off of that.
You just gotta work within your means and aim for what you can actually do!

You ever look at Japanese production storyboards and wonder "what the fuck are we (in the USA) even doing" because all's I can say is damn. The level of detail is quick thumbnails at best and that's all you need. Fuck the USA production expectations for storyboards. Stop making us make comic books.

I'm an animation guy and I'll always be an animation guy, but the idea that any given comic is just trapped in a lesser medium until it's animated is so offensive to me

Not all the time, but in general you should enjoy making your stuff. Youโd be surprised how many people want to make things but hate every single aspect that comes with making things.

One of my strongest opinions about โ indie animation โ and making things in general is that you should enjoy doing it to some extent.

I think when you get into indie-animation, you should be ready to pay people or barter then, not later. Volunteer labor shouldnt have deadlines. YOU SHOULD HAVE A JOB or do alot of shit yourself.
The promise of merch stores, "royalties" and multiple projects? Good for clout. Bad for business.

Cool bug facts! Whenever you see โindie animation studiosโ announce multiple shows and series being made without any prior establishment, budget, or income to put into it (and i mean big income) odds are they wont see the light of day and is a scam for free labor and piggybacking off others work!

2024 WTTW Chicago Public TV article on Illinois' biggest Republican political donors:
โโฆTrumpโs Top Donors
With a combined $10 million donation to the Make America Great Again Super PAC, billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein are the second-biggest backers of Trumpโs reelection bid โ though their contribution has been dwarfed by the $75 million kicked in by banking heir Timothy Mellon.
The Uihleins, Lake Forest residents and owners of the shipping products company Uline, are longtime conservative political donors. Uline, which was once headquartered in Illinois, moved in 2010 to Wisconsin โ also home to Schlitz Brewing, to which Richard Uihlein is an heir.
The Uihleins have long been active in Illinois politics. They supported former Gov. Bruce Rauner in his successful 2014 election bid. In 2018, they backed his unsuccessful challenger in the Republican gubernatorial primary, then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives. Theyโve also supported U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Springfield), who drew widespread condemnation for approvingly quoting Adolf Hitler in a 2021 speech; failed Illinois gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey; and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria).โ
Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.
