In the years-long buildup to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verses release, Sony for understandable reasons proudly touted how it had hired over 1,000 animators in order to bring the artistically ambitious project to fruition, and all of that intensive human labor definitely shows. According to a number of artists who contributed to the film, however, the working conditions they were made to operate under during the films production were unsustainable, erratic, and largely the result of producer Phil Lord frequently overriding Across the Spider-Verses three directors in order to make endless last-minute changes. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/23/23771199/across-the-spider-verse-working-conditions-phil-lord that sucks to hear, if true. it's one of my favorite movies to come out in a while, but still... --- Don't you agree, Zach? https://streamable.com/bmh5oq ...

As a huge fan of Lord-Miller, that's pretty disappointing to hear if this is true. Fuck Amy Pascal though. That bitch has always been evil from the word go and everyone just forgot about it. --- What is up, my sister!? https://m.imgur.com/pmc9XsI https://m.imgur.com/hfzvdPe ... Copied to Clipboard!

God bless those artists for still making one of the absolutely mist visually engrossing films ever.

boxoto posted... One of the things about animation that makes it such a wonderful thing to work on is that you get to keep going until the story is right, Pascal said. If the story isnt right, you have to keep going until it is. To the workers who felt demoralized by having to revise final renders five times in a row, I guess, welcome to making a movie.Go fuck yourself, Amy. What do you even bring to the table? Pretty sure the film would have been fine without another fuckin' producer. --- He/Him http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/9846/images/slowpoke.gif https://i.imgur.com/M8h2ATe.png https://i.imgur.com/6ezFwG1.png ...

They made one of the best animated features in recent memory. Maybe working your ass off until it is perfect is fine... just gotta let people have the proper time off.

i work in a similar situation. it's always such a pain in the ass when a producer overrides directors because of nothing but ego. they're directors. professionals in their field. you hired them for their opinion, not to overstep them and make them your bitch. this then just trickles down to those underneath, who are left wandering aimlessly as their directors are spun in circles. it's pretty nasty. and it's all just ego. but that's how the entertainment industry is. --- Disclaimer: There's a good chance the above post could be sarcasm.

Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted... They made one of the best animated features in recent memory.Pretty much this. In any artistic medium you can expect a lot of work to get thrown out and get taken back to the drawing board. You don't know for sure what's in the directors head, and the art team has to try to follow direction based on vague advice, and then make corrections based on feedback. That's normal. It becomes cruel when they're made to work 70+ hour weeks and then have their wages garnished to below industry standards so that overtime can make up the difference. --- Others don't get to dictate what's normal and what isn't.

if going by what the article says is true, then poor planning/management is messing with people's ability to work. like, who wants to work 11+ hours, seven days a week, for who knows how long, because your boss had you sit on your ass for months on end? who wants to constantly make a lot of revisions because your boss has difficulty conceptualizing certain kinds of animation in its early stages? like, it's great that final product is really well made, but it's no excuse for messing with people's lives. --- Don't you agree, Zach? https://streamable.com/bmh5oq ...

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Here it's because of that Phil Lord guy not understanding how CGI animated productions work. He was making changes that should have been addressed months earlier during the storyboarding phases, which reduced the amount of productive work the team could do while he was making those changes followed by crunching them when it came time to implement those changes. It's shit and out-of-touch management. Also I really hate Sony's response to the matter (the "it's normal for a number of people to leave during the course of production, don't worry about it," take is so indifferent and corporate--people leave, sure, but WHY are they pulling out?). --- Surely if I stick up for rich people on the Internet I'll eventually get a sweet job offer from them, right? ...
