I don't think people realize how incredible it is that a movie rendered in nearly real-time in free software on a single computer just won the Oscar for best animated film. If there was ever any proof you don't need AI, this is it.

Have some concept art from 101 Dalmatians by Walt Peregoy. The look of the film is still one of my favorites in animation and I really adore how Peregoy and Ken Anderson designed a lovely looking film.

People asking if this is fan art.
YES, THIS IS FAN ART!!!

As a former #DreamWorks employee, this is wildly tone deaf. NBCUniversal forced DWA to cut its staff by the hundreds & outsource to studios in other countries. Maybe the execs are happy, but def not the workers.
And the free food was way better when DWA wasn't owned by NBCU.
Dreamworks is back in action morale-wise, between #KungFuPanda4 and #TheWildRobot. Even when times got lean, one perk has never gone away: complimentary breakfasts and lunches daily. It's on THR's list of 25 best places to work in L.A. thr.cm/p7ulzLZ

The phasing out of DVDs / rise of streaming culture is robbing us of all of the behind the scenes and bloopers footage. These things inspired A LOT of us to go into the arts and pursue working in the entertainment industry in any capacity.

UK seems to want to legalize plagiarism and theft of property? If you live in the UK, the time to raise a ruckus is now! Contact your representatives asap, and tell them your intellectual property is not for the government to give away for free!
Excellent piece in The Telegraph today on the folly of the UK govt considering handing the life’s work of the UK’s creators to AI companies for nothing.

Seems like an extremely stupid move considering consumers deeply dislike GenAi, all the ongoing lawsuits concerning copyright infringement and how much it negatively impacts the environment. But guess execs are just jumping in to the hype, consequences be damned 🤷🏻♀️
Disney will reportedly announce a huge AI initiative that will “transform its creative output” with a focus on post-production and visual effects.
AI will also be integrated into Disney’s parks & experiences business in some way.

Reminder that @animationguild is NOT on strike. The march on Netflix was a show of solidarity - TAG members stand together in commitment to a fair contract. However, a strike is not off the table.

Today we’re publishing a statement on AI training, signed by 10,000+ creators already:
“The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.”
Signatories include James Patterson, Björn Ulvaeus, Julianne Moore, Sir Kazuo Ishiguro, and many more.

Have you noticed that all the major film/entertainment outlets this week would rather talk about the failure of one live-action film than the success of 5 animated ones? This is part of the reason why we're fighting so hard for fair treatment, pay and representation.
For the first time ever in Box Office HISTORY, 5 animated films occupies the top 10 at this week’s domestic box office:
• The Wild Robot (#2) - $13.45M
• Piece by Piece (#5) - $3.8M
• Transformers One (#6) - $3.65M
• My Hero Academia: You’re Next (#8) - $3.007M
• The Nightmare Before Christmas (#9) - $2.3M

I’m shaken up. Bolhem was widely considered one of the best living animators. We all looked up to him and he turned out to be a horrific monster. He was still working for years without anyone knowing he had a first conviction in 2014. He might only get 20 years. This story should be bigger so he doesn’t end up around people again without them knowing.

He’s only facing a maximum of 20 years, somehow

I’m Leigh Luna! I’ve been working since 2016 as a Color Designer. I’ve worked on Steven Universe, Clone High, Centaur World & currently on Mighty Nein. The most I was ever paid was in 2020, I've been forced to take pay cuts ever since.

Demo reel from Swaybox Studios who are doing the animation for the Robins origin movie ‘DYNAMIC DUO’ for DC Studios
Will be a mix of CGI animation, puppetry and live-action real-time performance.
