A Union Storyboard Artist's Thoughts About the 2024 TA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I had a mixture of feelings, like a lot of artists and designers did, after the July 13th Town Hall that went over the Tentative Agreement as well as the leadership's view of art and artists where it concerns AI. Instead of typing out post after post trying to express myself, I figured I'd just hit record.
This message is particularly aimed at other IATSE locals and crew.
Thank you for sharing this Zack! WELL SAID!!!
Voilà
Good Job Zack.
Keep fighting the good fight.
thanks for sharing this information!
Hope the voters listen to you!
my most idealistic side of me honestly hope companies like Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon doesn't use AI "animation" for their upcoming animated stuff(I kinda doubt it at this point but a my part of me hope they don't).
to be dead honest, if Cartoon Network decided to make ai animation shows, it would honestly be a worse decision than making live action shows.
I don't see how they wouldn't TRY. And depending on how those shows perform compared to the much, MUCH higher priced shows, they may decide to invest more heavily in them, taking funds away from the more conventional shows.
In any event, specialized GENAI workflows will likely be developed that significantly reduce the need for humans, even on conventional shows.
This actually benefits super small studios more than the larger studios who have the resources smaller studios don't have.
Very well-reasoned and articulated, Zack. And 100% true.
Thanks stranger.
@@zacklarez 😄It's Mike Edsey here. I don't know what the hell happened to my RUclips profile/account. I'll have to fix it when I can get around to it.
@@user-yr9tr2fu6t thanks Mike!
Is that Live action boards. I dont think that is so applicable for action animated ones.
Correct. Live action boards. Animation board artists are part of Local 839, The Animation Guild and I'm pretty sure their negotiations are handled separately from the rest of IATSE. I'm realizing I have gaps in my knowledge there- as far as why they're part of IATSE but separate. Maybe The Art Directors Guild should have been separate too.
Maybe it comes down to on-set workers compared to animation workers which are in office or remote. Negotiating the conditions surrounding a film set don't concern TAG and vice versa. The same is also true of illustrators and designers in ADG.
@@zacklarez That question is being asked by many people, and different people will give you different answers.
