Okay that is just...downright bone chilling. But now a whoooooole lot of things make sense. This is even more reason to support Indie animation, as well as go harder on unions in the industry as a whole.

[@hydrashade1851]

further proof that the future of animation is indie. ideas and such arent needlessly restricted, theres real respect for the people working on it, and stuff like kickstarters and ad revenue can be split fairly.

Yup, so true. Indie Filmmaking, Animation and Game Developing are the future of entertainment. We don't need big corporations or Hollywood companies to keep us alive. We have the technology, resources and equipment we need to make our own shows, movies or projects of our own. If you wanna have your movie to be in theaters; go to an distribution company that relies on Indie movies like Indie Rights or simply just uploaded to KZbin for free. If you need some money for the budget; start crowfunding. PS, Public Domain rules and Copyright Law sucks

[@henryogan2017]

Dude, WTF? How can you create a show and not even be allowed to reap any benefit from it? Don't those execs know that without the creators, the show wouldn't even be a thing?!

[@hydrashade1851]

dont forget the fact that the creator likely spent years working on the project before it was greenlit, and still aren't getting benefits from it being made into a reality.

[@TheRareOcelot]

@@hydrashade1851 phineas and ferb spent 20 years trying to get greenlit. Around that time atleast

[@Zebra_fandomfella03]

Its really perfect explanation on why we have indie shows that exist. The Amazing Digital Circus, Helluva Boss, Murder Drones, Lackadaisy, Etc. Those shows have creators that have free will to do what they can do with those shows

[@teneesh3376]

And even though animators probably do the most work, we get the least respect

[@DanielLave25280]

Boy Maybe Some Day Executive Can Pay Their Creators Outside Of Just Doing Other Stuff I Mean I can Design Characters Do A Bit Of Animating Or Storyboarding Or Voice A Character Or 2 To Get The Bucks

[@lk_3099]

It's a huge shame that getting into animation is so rough.

[@obisidianusyuh9721]

It’s like this in Hollywood and the animation media game too. As an animator, I can’t see any benefit from working here when I can work for myself!

[@SleepyLuigi]

Why has nobody tried copyrighting and trademarking their show before they pitch it? They can sue multi-billion dollar companies for trademark/copyright infringement!

[@thatmoviegirl3814]

Most show creators do copyright their show before pitching it. When a show or movie is picked up, more often than not it is because the creator has sold the copyright to these companies. This gives the company control over the ip if the creator leaves or to ensure the ip stays within the company’s brand but they’ll still typically allow the creators to steer the creative decisions. Some companies give more freedoms to creators than others. Disney is notoriously controlling and nitpicky over what can be depicted whereas other studios like A24 are a lot less restricting. The reason why creators sell the copyrights in the first place is because the companies will fund production of the show as well as take care of distribution and insurance

[@SleepyLuigi]

@@thatmoviegirl3814 Thanks for informing me!

[@j.e.s.m.4686]

​@@thatmoviegirl3814Yup. This is wanna of the reasons why I hate Copyright Law and Public Domain is better. Public Domain, to me, is very important 'cause it allows/gives content creators, filmmakers, animators, game developers and artists the liberties on creating something that they are passionate about, making something new with their own set of vision and show how much they actually do care and love the IP we grow up with. Without it, we wouldn't have gotten the stuff people would see like God of War, Monkie Kid or Epic The Musical. Yes, I also that PD has its own flaws too, they're some greedy pigs out there who might take advantage of this by creating a cashgrab project for the sake of gaining money and try to capililize shit for profit, which disgusts and frustates me but this is how people are sometimes. But I know that NOT everyone are like that; I know there are other content creators out there who want to create a project that they have dreamed and show how much they actually do care and love the IP we grow up with endless possibilities and opportunities that indie filmmakers/animators can explore. But because of this shitty copyright law we have now, is become broken thanks to Disney and is now preventing creative people making something they wanted to do, fan games exists for a reason and Nintendo doesn't care on how they're actions are hurting their own fans and name. Wanna of the reasons why I believe public domain, indie filmmaking, indie animation and indie game developing are the future of entertainment.

[@ajstudios9210]

This I've known ever since watching a Pan Pizza video talking a bit about it a few years ago. Heck, I've know this for 10 years now.🤔 It made me apprehensive about joining the industry.

[@callibor3119]

Well the good side of that is the animator is the most trusting when they are the voice of one or many characters and it can also be applied to their role in business, too. If each animator was a voice as much as they are animators, then they can be trusted in roles as high as CEOs than those that have just interviews, like a certain Disney CEO of today.

[@bearlogg7974]

The silver lining is that creators usaly get more involved & creative when under preasure but at that point just make it indie instead.

[@danzilturner1330]

This is not making me want to be a professional animator

[@ThePortuguesePlayer]

You better not want it, because it's a terrible job in most ways you look at it, if not all.

[@annien.1727]

I don't care how tough the animation industry is right now! Even if what that video says is true, I'm NOT going to give up on my dream as a professional animator!😡 I don't care what anybody says! Nothing is EVER going to deter me from fulfilling my goal!✊🏻

[@leobro6398]

But dont the studios buy the rights to the shows initially? Which means they could negotiate a price they are happy with. And if they dont they dont have to sell

[@Skitskl33]

Some people are willing to take a bad deal just to make their dream project. Look at Smiling Friends where the creators of the show do most of the voices.

[@ryanmatthews3609]

that makes no sense

[@icecreamhero2375]

It makes perfect sense. The more jobs you do the more money you get for each job.

[@ryanmatthews3609]

does this also implies live action movies as movies with Seth Rogen being an example?

[@asenarc]

Well… this is depressing 🫠
