People worked seven months, were off five months. <BR/><BR/>The gripe when I got on the TAG exec board in the early eighties was that the networks were delaying show orders until later in the year for their Saturday morning slates, keeping people out of work longer.<BR/><BR/>But all that is pretty much gone, and has been for years. Syndication ended a lot of it, and cable took care of most of the rest. No "seasons" anymore. Only show orders of 9 half-hours, or 13 half hours, or 26 half-hours.<BR/><BR/>It's mostly smaller rather than larger.<BR/><BR/>I doubt it will haveSteve Huletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537689111433326847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-4251642851157962482008-02-27T06:46:00.000-08:002008-02-27T06:46:00.000-08:00this is purely a what if...Don't know if anyone ha...this is purely a what if...Don't know if anyone has noticed the announcement by NBC (was it NBC?)that they will no longer have seasons within their production model. For instance no new spring/fall series premieres, rather they just premiere new shows all year round when they want. They think this is better for companies who want to advertise.<BR/><BR/>the question...do you see this change happening industry wide and would this change production schedules within animation? meaning we aren't just looking for work at certain times of the year. Whats the buzz?<BR/><BR/>noob to animationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
