Dammit

I really wanted the worst possible version of the movie made with zero self-awareness. If they know how bad it looked in the trailer, they'll clean it up to be just bland instead of hilariously terrible. Hopefully they'll keep in Jim Carey's ham.

Snakes on a Place got a following because of it's dumb name, then under-performed and was largely forgotten shortly after release.

Because the extra three months is not much. It's like telling someone who just ran a marathon to do it again in half the time.

They really needed to delay it to the summer going the re-do route.

Yes and no. If I'm not mistaken this release date falls on President's Day weekend. Plus February vacation.

Just last year we had a February release crack the all time top 10 grossers.

Have any of the VFX artists complained about crunch? There's a difference between defending a company and not mindlessly blaming them for an issue that nobody is complaining about.

If the working conditions are bad you should definitely blame them but you're just assuming they're bad. Maybe all of the workers are fine? Maybe all of them are getting whipped and locked in cages? Maybe some of them are happy to have a job for an extra 3 months

A ton of others in the industry have, that's why this is even a public issue now. But that's not enough for you to assume anything. This case might just be different than the dozens of other cases, so might as well assume the best.

And in 5 years when the Sonic artists feel comfortable publicly talking about, maybe they will talk about it too. And you will read it and think "wow, if only I knew that was happening 5 years ago... but maybe this new movie is different". And so it continues.

Even then, February is becoming less and less of a dumping ground. Outside of the big comic book movies (Deadpool, Black Panther) there's been some strong animated releases (Lego Movie 1 + 2, Train your Dragon 3, Spongebob) or other stuff (John Wick 2, Fifty Shades movies, Get Out, Kingsman) that found success in February. None of which Sonic really aligns to, but still.

January is pure dump, so the studio hasn't FULLY given up on it.

The one thing I am fairly confident of is that all the people complaining about the crunch are vastly overestimating (or overselling) the amount of work they must have had done in the first place to get a trailer out.

"I have concerns about the amount of work required in the timeframe we have." That probably doesn't get you fired.

"Paramount is run by Satan and they are literally whipping me as I animate Sonic's new dumb face." That probably does get you fired.

question. would "Paramount is making me browse DeviantArt for inspiration to improve my animations for Sonic" count as code for this?

nobody has said it yet but you know they were totally told to check out fan renders and there's no place that'll have more of them than DA. especially if they have to look into Sonic's feet too.

Both would probably get you fired. The 2nd one reads more jokingly so it's probably less dangerous.
