Part 2

That thread was interesting. This week is pretty chaotic and depressing. So let talk more about the animation and comic industry.

How is Blue Sky not out of business yet

They are closing down

They are definitely circling the drain. They cancelled a project, cancelled the trainee program, and stopped hiring new employees around early March.

So where should a budding young animator plan to go?
Cartoon Network seems to have the least bullshit cliques and "if you aren't with us you're against us" mentalities.

An user from the last thread said Alex Hirsch has sexist tendencies. Is that true?
I don’t get it because he’s been born and raised by a single mother and a sister

They're owned by FOX who is owned by Disney.

CN is too small, they do not hire that many people and the ones they do hire tend to be friends of friends only.

They are probably lying, or they're Zig Forumsmblr.

I would think CN is the most obnoxious and SJW of the lot, considering how full of nepotism it is and the stuff they put out.

Disney closes down a lot of studios.
Junction Point Studios being the most infamous of them.

Best case scenario is that Blue Sky comes to represent all of Fox Animation, but that's wishful thinking.

I'm curious to see if any Blue Sky insiders browse here.

CN is full of nepotism, even since the days of Hanna-Barbera Productions and the Cartoon Cartoons. It's part of their culture, so it's hard getting in.

I hate to say it, but I think Nick's really the best studio to start in. Besides the executives fucking you over and every day could be the final day of the series, it's the least toxic place to work. You never hear people talk shit about their colleagues over there.

>budding young animator
How about a place that does actual animating?

You say that, but there's the recent TMNT porn leak that worries me.

a budding young draftsman, then.

WB sounds good

>want to work on network production
>don't know how to start without having someone know me

Anyone got knowledge?

An independent studio.

apparently WB is full of backstabbing hipsters

Currently all of Cartoon Network hiring is under this one person. Who is only hiring twitter friends and past colleagues right now.

Nickelodeon or Netflix are the only sure things for someone out of school with no real work history.

>without having someone know me

That's basically it. Get on twitter and join some streams and chat with people. It is really the only way.

Nice that Nickelodeon can give people work experience...too bad their shows are just as disposable to them.

At the same time those shows are great on a resume. It makes for a nice work history in a professional studio with some decent shots someone can put in their reel.

I can see how a Ninja Turtles show would be good on a resume.

>failed as a storyboarder despite given pity job in magiswords
>went to writing, but still fucking bombed
>now in charge of a hiring program where she picks her friends only
Man, I just find this person to be terrible overall. Also, considering she married Ben Juwono means she’s got a fucking safety net for her shit.

I met her. She's pretty nice. I was in her husband's class. I'm sure they use his classes to scout talent as well, but he's semi-retiring (teaching an online class atm).

I mean, everyone's teaching online at the moment.

Ben actually was shilling his students on twitter a few months ago asking that people hire them.

For some reason she cannot be fired or replaced, even though she has proven that she cannot do the job either. Even admits to it. But somehow CN keeps her around and invents positions for her.

She just established ties with her co-workers and superiors really well, but did not get their respect. So now her job is to effectively decide if an artist is good enough at their job, despite her being incompetent and unfit to do it in the first place.

You're implying that you'll actually be hired by one of the big companies; usually that's not the case. Most of the time you'll go to small studios that do commercial ads (or make a studio with your friends) and from there you go up.

>make a studio with your friends
That's the highest likely thing I'll be doing when I'm done with college. I live too far from California/the US to get close in the industry there.
