VFX Bill of Rights proposed

[robcat2075]

Sister to the character animation industry is the Visual Effects industry which is becoming famous for worker unhappiness.

 

They're finally getting agitated enough to talk out loud about it. One result is this proposal:

 

Visual Effects Industry Bill of Rights

 

When you read the "finer points' they are all things (except possibly "quality healthcare coverage") you wouldn't think would even be in question at a normal employer. But in VFX it seems to be a chronic, widespread problem.

I like checking in on the TAG blog often for a couple reasons, primarily: 1. The interviews with animators and 2. Reality checks from people working in the animation industry

 

It's hard to believe that VFX artists are still at this stage and it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Technical proficiency is valuable and even kids having fun creating movies have to pay their bills. And... as they get older they inevitably will have to pay more medical bills.

2. Reality checks from people working in the animation industry

 

Yup, that's the painful part.
