We'd be using the money we earn to pay for the animations. No one's going to be carrying the team at the expense of their wallets. Unless we have them earn a percentage of the profits from monetizing from the videos, they would want some money to pay for their time, especially if we want a good animator. I'm certain the person I know would not want to charge a lot for it. I unsure if he would fully get in on mascotia seeing he already has his own plans.

Edit: He probably won't be able to do a decent enough youtube short now. That's why I said "after we've gotten popular and are making a profit". If we want to make youtube shorts sooner, then we'd have to look for someone else.
