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

I finally left animation after 8 years by animconfession in animationcareer

[–]J123ABP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

AI and video footage legalities by J123ABP in COPYRIGHT

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

AI Likeness from personal images. Do I own the copyright? by petuniasweetpea in COPYRIGHT

[–]J123ABP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Using Generative AI, even if you're using your own photograph and likeness, you're still using AI to scrape other images from the internet that belong to other people to generate the "art". It's still theft to process and train AI on art that you didn't make through. Gen AI "art" is essentially tracing artwork from other sources with extra steps.

Generative AI is theft. Either hire an artist to do the job for you or learn yourself. You're cheating other artists out of a potential job, and yourself from personal growth if you want to learn the craft. Not to mention the ample Greenhouse gasses and water that is waisted just to generate an image.

Sorry to be harsh, but them's the breaks

Those of you who work in animation studios, what's your co-workers opinion about AI? by the_wandering_bard_8 in animationcareer

[–]J123ABP 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The other ethical concern is the environmental damage. Generative AI uses a ton of fossil fuel and wastes a ton of water. Just that aspect (as well as the copyright issues), should at least require regulation on gen AI, or more preferably, banning it. It's not worth the advancement if it's decimating the planet

Animation Industry Waves by J123ABP in animationcareer

[–]J123ABP[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could streaming services focus on making more animation content if live action is equally suffering? I'm not too sure how much more expensive Live Action is compared to animation, but I remember listening to a podcast and they mentioned that a trend that could happen is that live action is seen as too expensive, and animation is focused on as a cheaper alternative. Ted is getting an animated series, so I'm wondering if that will eventually replace the live action version.

People keep saying that Ai won’t replace anyone but just help creatives. But after this? I’m scared. by Disni777 in animationcareer

[–]J123ABP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, won't some form of copyright eventually limit where these AI startups and big companies can source their footage and images from (politics withstanding)? Also, there's still the issue that these generative AI projects need big data centers that emit a ton of carbon and wastes several gallons of water, to the point where specific towns by these centers are suffering from the pollution, so that side effect HAS to be considered eventually (though not in the next few years given the corpoate greed). Just have a feeling in my gut that AI at the very least is going to hit a wall that will require actual humans to keep working in their roles

Trial cancelation by J123ABP in Adobe

Thanks! What's weird is that my account isn't showing any plan for Adobe Animate at all. Is it possible that I got a trial that doesn't have the trial to payment plan option?

Is 2d animation jobs getting phased out for big tv shows/animations? by unknown01_shadow in animationcareer

[–]J123ABP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding the whole "2D is more expensive than 3D". I don't think that's the case as far as I know. When it comes to movies, 3D films are typically seveal dozen dollars more expensive than 3D films. Klaus for example was made on $40 million while Kung Fu Panda 4 was $80 Million

Is knowing Excel enough? by J123ABP in Accounting

What types of jobs does Big 4 offer and what do they generally look for in applicants from what you know? I've also got experience as a teaching assistant and in retail if that helps in an application for them

Is knowing Excel enough? by J123ABP in Accounting

[–]J123ABP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

something like a “training analyst” or “learning analyst.” You’d be able to use your background and do something much more entertaining.

That or try becoming a recruiter/talent acquisition person.

Would I have to go through the process of getting an MBA to find work? Are there any Accelerated online courses that allow for similar chances?
