Animation Artists - Sexual Harassment

Hello, I'm still working on changing the direction of this blog, so that it presents relevant material regarding the animation business, and general artistic training. While I'm trying to steer away from trivia and doodles, there have been major shifts in our business, and society in general that need some commentary here.

John Kricfalusi is the latest animation mogul to be accused of sexual harassment. No more heroes anymore? After the accusations against John Lasseter and some other animation heavy hitters, most studio employees may still be in the dark about what the boss does behind closed doors. Go along to get along, to hold on to a cool animation job, sure. But I still hold the people in the know responsible, especially those in management. How can the victims be compensated, if that was even possible?

Yeah, it's Hollywood, and "dirty deeds happen all the time".
But I can never look at my favorite animated films the same way again.

CGI Dreamworks Animation Studio Pipeline

Hello group, 2018 has been off to a rough start for me, and I'm behind as far as re-purposing this blog for education, and updates on animation technology in general. DreamWorks has been kind enough to put together a presentation on the CG pipeline for us. Enjoy!
