More and more art directors from across the industry are complaining about difficulties managing their teams from home.
Current studies confirmed to be shut down
>Nickelodeon
>Disney tv animation
>Dreamworks Animation
>Cartoon Network
>Warner Animation
>Tit Mouse
>Bento Box
Do you think we will be able to tell what shows got Corona’d in a few months? Predictions for what it’ll be like?
>waa waaa waa I can work from home
>but it is haaaaard
More anons complaining about studio heads complaining
Animators have shit work ethic to begin with
its not even hard, its inefficient.
Its the worst kind of thing, since a lot of it is stuff you cant do anything about, but you know shit is taking longer and it sucks
So he's ad he does not have an army of assistants to do shit for him on the fly and actually has to type things and allocate jobs himself?
If working at home is so hard, then they shouldn't work at home.
Shouldn't Disney have it set up where higher ranked employees can VPN into the Disney network and remote connect to their workstations allowing them access to their digital tools and assets?
Why doesn’t Disney let their people have VPN access to the servers
why are Americans so fucking retarded
>oh no there's a flu in China, shut down everything
Fucking white people ruining everything once again
deal with it, director. what show does this guy work on?
Basically yes. The director has to actually do everything himself now or else nothing is done. He has no assistants and interns to tell to do everything, relay all info, get his coffee, and check over dailies.
Big City Greens
>What is international travel
>What is the rapid widespread of disease marking it as a pandemic
>What is America's shit healthcare system that will make most infected avoid getting a check-up so that they aren't indebted by associated costs
It's literally in America right now. That's why we shut everything down. Retard.
What the fuck is preventing this idiot from having a 10 minute conversation while looking at art over the internet?
It was announced last week that all check ups and treatments would be free you retard
>my job is being a nag and I can't just low effort talk shit anymore I have to be constructive and write it down waah
half joking but this is low key entitled, and this 'tude is fucking annoying
>he didn’t read the fine print
LOL
>ITTs brainyots who's never worked in the industry and don't know the hell of trying to organize dozens of people at the same time while not being in the same physical building as them
No you mong only the check-ups will be free the actual treatment is another story entirely. And since the treatment is where most of the costs are people won't want to find out if they have it
It's really funny how half-assed the response is from the president and Congress. Trump's pissed off it wiped out every gain the stock market made under him and is trying to pretend it isn't happening, and Congress just passed the most worthless bill ever, guaranteeing sick leave only for companies with 50-500 employees. Meanwhile the fucking commies in Cuba have made an effective antiviral treatment for coronavirus, China has effectively dealt with it after their initial fuck-ups, and all the other second world states are following suit because they don't jack off to stock market values. Really makes me wonder what the fucking point of this stupid free market shit is, I used to respect it but now I'm not so sure.
Welcome to March 2020, I see you came from January 2020
Is this more of a problem for digital or hand drawn animations?
It’s currently digital’s problem
In this thread there’s a lot of people from various studios commenting
Well the other option is to get a miserable fucking superflu and not do work period.
The point is to remind you that being a Democuck is bad and that Authoritarianism is more competent
You are so fuckin stupid I hope get the flu just so you can understand
>He has no workstation with a wacom and separate monitor for quick Slack communication
And he makes the big money
>muh work-life balance
Why'd you pick that career if you hate it so much?
I think it only shows how bad your comunication is.
But Youtube animators have to work and organized shit at home all the time.
How hard is it for this guy to keep a Slack group open in a separate window and chat with whomever you need to communicate to for short questions/tasks?
It's what it was made for
He has no Wacom, but he’s an art director who works for fucking Disney.
THIS is what you’re competing with when trying to break into the animation industry. I’m calling nepotism as the only reason he was hired
You retards act like people want to work from home and it's not because they're forced to.
I have a cintiq, workstation, and storyboard pro. Can I work on Big City Greens?
Why is this dipshit complaining? Disney is sounding pretty reasonable for once.
He can damn well afford the cheap one, it's only $700 and I am pretty sure a series director can scratch that up for his job with little trouble.
Yea that's what I was thinking, they could have furloughed the whole crew for 3 weeks without pay but tried this instead.
He’s just the one with the biggest title bitching, people from basically every show is also doing it today
Fuck, apply user. It’s not like the art for the show is all that impressive
Disney caps you at 2 applications. Have to wait for something to end before I can apply to any other Disney production of any kind.
It doesn't sounds like anyone is in the wrong here. Disney is reasonable and the guy isn't really placing unnecessarily blame on anyone, just venting and talking about his difficulty adjusting. Hell, he even thinks Disney will likely extend all due dates.
Did you not watch the news of the last 2 weeks or
American brand authoritarianism seems dumb as shit, though, considering Trump can't seem to realize he has all the power in the world to cap this shit off now but doesn't want to because he's beholden to dickless Wall Street guys. President Xi doesn't let corporations push him around.
I refuse to believe there are people as moronic as your fucking ass on this website. Are you literally retarded, user?
>American seems dumb as shit
Could've saved yourself the trouble and still been right
Yep, fair enough.
It's 2020, fucking make a video call.
does skype no longer exist?
literally thousands of people been doing shit at home over the internet.
big studios can't into that WORK IS HARD.
holy shit how behind the times are these studios no wonder shit never gets done well.
Call every single person on your brigade for some measly notes? How would you get any work done yourself?
I blame the unions. Unionization ruined basically every industry and now they’re basically useless because there’s laws that effectively ensure all a union originally fought for
Corporate bootlicker detected
american unions are the reason why Japanese Anime is far superior
>70% Isekai garbage
>Other 30% drowing in the same old tired cliches as always that every manga writer seems to think people want
So superior
In 10-12 years they'll be the reason hollywood animation is dead. So don't hate them too much.
We're already seeing massive brain drain to places that pay more for non-union work (Vancouver, Atlanta, NY)
Same, I I send in a resume and portfolio all the time to Disney and never hear shit back.
Oh man, if it's this hard for the art director, just imagine how hard it must be for everyone underneath him. He should just call it all off, let everyone take a three week unpaid vacation.
