Me, through my tears: Eliza do you like it up town, it's quiet uptown

Rev share is not paid work. If it’s rev-share and you want people to help you with it be upfront and honest about what you’re doing. Please stop telling me you’ve got a great “paid” gig for me… and when we start discussing a price you reveal it’s a percentage of the sales after you release your game. That’s not paid, that’s revenue you’re sharing- rev share. Essentially you’re asking me to work for free and maybe I’ll get paid if we’re lucky, but the fact you’re using the wrong terminology means you are either trying to take advantage of me or are so inexperienced you have no idea what you’re doing, let alone know how to release and promote a game if it even makes it to being a finished product. If you can’t figure out how to fund your own damn game it sure fucking isn’t going to make it to release, let alone be successful. No self respecting animator will want anything to do with you if you do this. ...and if you're an artist/animator make sure you get at least a partial payment up front, it helps to weed out the assholes that aren't serious, don't know what they're doing, or are going to try to screw you over later. People that won't put a portion of the final payment down upfront are people who are usually a waste of your time and probably won't pay you anyway.
