Many, many stories abound concerning their low pay, demanding schedules, and general mistreatment of talent (except for their "core" team). They have in fact developed a model for creating their animated features which will necessarily demand this type of treatment of talent - they don't fully flesh out story, storyboard, or layout, rather, "winging it" as the film moves through the pipeline. we all know what this means for artists. <br /><br />So, it's nice to hear lofty, conceptual concepts from people like Carlos post-mortem . . . they make for really good soundbites. But the day-to-day is oh-so-different . . . but I guess it's the same for all the major studios. They've got great distribution and marketing, big production dollars, so no matter how screwed up their internal process, they can always shrug their shoulders afterwards, or even institutionalize their inept production practices, citing the "success" of the end product. Ugh. Rough world for us production artists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-88824556889314781202011-04-10T14:55:02.850-07:002011-04-10T14:55:02.850-07:00Carlos was a great director to work for.
