I was watching the credits from the Legend of Korra and noticed a couple of things.
1) There were no Clean up animators listed. So I wanted to know if they were just left off or if in some cases Animators clean up their own work.
2) Another thing I noticed was that there were 18 Key Animators listed. Now, as far as I know I thought there was one Supervising Animator a key animator and a couple of assistant animators assigned to each character. Does this hold true?
They might be drawing digitally, on Cintiqs, which would negate the use of clean-up artists. If they have inbetweeners or "assistants" listed, then the 'tweeners could be the ones doing clean-up on the keys.
The entire production could likely be done using computers.

Thanks.
Does it happen where more than one key animator will work on the same character in different scenes?
Sure.
