Studio mismanagement is the number one problem causing instability in the animation industry.

I want to work in animation 2 days of the week and herd goats 5 days of the week.

The latter infuriates me much less.

Hahahaha, I remember telling you that having a kid was like throwing a big bomb into your life. 😂 Still true. A big, chaotic, loving bomb. You’re going to be an incredible mom!! ❤️❤️❤️

Attempting to figure out profit-sharing with artists next year.

The only people who should be in charge of how their artwork is used are the artists themselves. Your art IS your likeness!!! In any case, time for movies to slap a label “made by human meat bags,” on them for me to watch.

We didn’t get staffing minimums for any of the artists, which would have avoided this.

Lots of studios are already operating this way and short-changing the visuals. This lets them push it along further. Going to take awhile (and prob the last) for them to figure out boards, but they’ll try their darndest for that too.

I’m pretty sure this will eliminate at least 50% of jobs in visual development, in environment and character design. They’re going to run human artists to the ground to draw as much stuff as possible within a month, then kick them out to the curb and have AI mix and match their stuff.

I’m glad that the engagement in union voting was so high, but am super disappointed with the AI portion of the contract.

Just finished watching this with the whole fam, truly amazing stuff, Austin!! Thank you for the good cry 😭😭😭

It’s a no from me. If genAI isn’t canned from the get go there will be no artists for there to even BE a Union. Unless they can secure this TAG is going to make themselves obsolete. Staffing minimums & protections for remote workers. #animationguild #tag

Well that’s just the problem, I haven’t. And I’ve registered countless times.

Has anyone received the zoom link for the TAG town hall tonight? Registered last week but no response.

So... They can require you to use AI in production, they are required to provide you legal defense if anything happens because of it, and you have to cooperate with that defense. This entire section is very producer-sided and I don't see anything protecting the intellectual property of creators.

The AI portion of the TAG agreement leaves so many loopholes open. Fight it.

Rest in peace, Don. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Don Perro work tirelessly to make animation accessible to so many Canadian kids, for whom art was but a pipe dream. He was always kind but would push you to do better. I can’t thank him nearly enough for all that he did, and it’s heartbreaking that we’ve lost him. 💔💔💔

Hi Bsky. First few posts here, but lately I’m keenly interested in learning how Hollywood REALLY operates. It makes studios more money to axe a film before it makes it out of development, mainly for reasons like this: youtu.be/W-l2oFKZNak?...

Does anyone have a low-profile mechanical keyboard they love using? Esp along with art programs?

Mmm no, we don’t both need to take our kid to birthday parties; I’d much rather stay at home and draw hot sad men.

Has anyone else heard an owl in Burbank lately? Coupled with watching “No One Will Save You” last night I got zero sleep. Great movie, though!!

This. Being attacked by (usually minors) who can’t separate fiction from reality is a huge issue. And as if adults are to have only singular interests and never be angsty or horny past the age of 30. 🙄

Though anyone wanting to conform a young artist into a certain art style is a 🚩to me.

Clio Chiang @cliobablio.bsky.social · 26/07/2023

I’ve realized for story it’s beneficial to do “sameface” and just change the dressing for any new production. The goal is to get a solid, emotional drawing, & expressions unique to the character… the style of art doesn’t matter… Unfortunately not so much for vis dev.
