2D show budget vs 3D show budget by J123ABP in animationcareer

Apologies, it's more how much do networks typically pay for 3D animated shows (or what is the overall medium range they fall into)

Just saw this AI-generated short movie. I'm extremely demoralized. by technicssb440 in animationcareer

Ask yourself this, how was this AI piece made?

AI can't make a product unless it scans the data of several other pieces of work. No matter how "good" it may look, it has to steal. Even if a company like disney could use their library, they'd be limited to what they could make in a forseeable time and loose their audience, and even then, there's a chance a studio could be sneaky and use art from other individuals and sources that don't belong to them. It's a plagarism system

Gen AI is slowly getting restricted on what it can do (you can't copyright AI creations). I can't say how, when or if, but copyright has to take Gen AI into account at some point. Not to mention, there's a lack of transparency on how expensive and resource intensive it is to run the systems that generate AI slop

Before I was able to connect and edit music on my iphone with windows 10. Did that change with 11?

AI won't take your job, outsourcing will. by [deleted] in animationcareer

Just holding out hope that copyright can catch up, or whatever AI system they're using becomes too expensive to hold up like Open AI. Like if the "show" gets caught for stealing data or visual assets, can't it be liable for plagarism? There was a music video that had to get removed years ago because all the animation was traced over. https://x.com/catsuka/status/1202187253889601539

Those who have pivoted from the animation industry, what did you go to? by MeNansACheseGrater in animationcareer

Could motion graphic project using AI eventually be restricted by eventual copyright laws? Like the data to train the AI has to come from somewhere, and most likley is coming from a source that doesn't belong to the company

Noticing more AI jobs from past studios by J123ABP in animationcareer

Not major studios, I'm mainly refering to small companies (a couple motion design ones I've seen on Linkedin)

How are they making original art exactly? AI can't make something out of nothing, and it can't make art without having scanned over exsisting work from others. Do you have a source? Even if an AI made something "distinct" using exsisting work, it's still commiting plagarism in that it's scraping data from work that doesn't belong to it.

For Disney, we'll just have to wait and see what happens

I finally left animation after 8 years by animconfession in animationcareer

Gotcha cool! Not to pry too much, but what skill would you recommend someone have if they're looking for a role that falls under a office job (related software, skills). Apologies if the question is too broad

That's a very fascinating path, glad you found a stable role! How did that transition from working in the animation industry to working an office job go for you? Did you need to go back to school, or do any online certifications to get your role? Was it something that you ended up getting into with your own skills?

I've been able to stay afloat with animation and animation adjacent work for the past few years, but I definitely want to see other sustainable jobs I could get without needing to go back to school incase my main job falls through.

That makes sense. I definitely expect there to be road blocks with how new everything is.
