My position (color design) makes less than every single other design position on animation crews. Today I painted a dozen complex FX designs that take up most of the screen throughout a massive sequence. We are just as highly skilled and invaluable, and deserve to be paid like it
100% this. Color designers still have a ridiculously low wage, some board artists arent getting the writing creds/money, production people are barely getting by, the wages are barely enough to get by living in this expensive ass city.
