No it's not like that, it's not like that...no, it certainly is not like that.

Actors and Animators should go on strike next tbh. Especially cgi animators. Put the fear back into Hollywood

this is a very good post and i would like to add, though not about CGI, but people in animation are currently working to unionize!

Along with other studios that have already unionized their production teams, like the productions at Rick & Morty and Solar Opposites, the teams at Titmouse, and the teams at Nickelodeon, Walt Disney Animation production management have been asking to be recognized as a part of The Animation Guild (TAG) for 114 days as of this post! (may 31st)

Production workers in animation (assistants, coordinators, and managers) are NOT COVERED by ANY union, Animation Guild, Producers Guild, or otherwise.

“In attempting to unionize, worker-organizers are seeking to improve pay and gain portable health care that will travel with them from job to job. “For the majority of us this is our long-term career path; however, the current value tied to production workers does not reflect our worth,” says production coordinator Maggie Hughes in a statement. “We produce and deliver some of the most profitable franchises at one of the oldest animation studios in the world, it’s unreasonable that production workers can’t create a sustainable, comfortable future.”“ (Hollywood Reporter)

Disney is hoping that them asking for fair wages and sustainable work will get buried with the Writers Guild Striking, and the company knows if they agree to recognize their production management as a part of TAG it will cost them money, and it will set an example for other production departments at Disney to unionize to protect themselves as well (which will cost them even MORE money).

Production teams are often the least paid in the animation industry and the easiest to fire/hire since they have no protections. To work for such a massive company such as the Walt Disney company and not afford rent, to feel without worth, is sad. 

Currently they have a petition on IATSE here, and an open letter/petition here. Hope you all share and support!

oh I wasn’t aware it was feeding the ai. I’ve inserted hundreds of fics into chatgpt for their continuation or for a different plot within the same context just for fun and out of curiosity… but I’ve never posted any of them…

Indeed, anything that is given to AI it can use later to draw from. That's why it doesn't matter if you post them or not as it has now access to those writers' texts without their permission.
