"pirate everything and donate straight to the creators" sounds like a very good premise but i don't think most people realize how much of a production crew go unnoticed and neglected, especially those whose profession aren't unionized. creators, and when people say this they usually mean the show creator and executive producers, of a production aren't the only ones who work on it. specifically when talking about animation as a medium, there's a lot more to it than you'd think. i very much agree with supporting creators financially but it's also not as easy as everyone makes it out to be especially when you're not even aware of WHO you should be supporting. there's so much production roles that go unnoticed by the average viewer
#the act of ANIMATING alone has so much gears behind it — character animation‚ props animation‚ vfx animation‚ and more#hell you even have these divided into roughs and clean up a lot of the time#again i support the sentiment behind the quote i opened this post with#but i think we should stop treating showrunners as if they're the only ones who worked on a show#and the only ones we should bother actively supporting financially#its a lot harder than ya think! theres a lot of people who deserve to be acknowledged appreciated and compensated for their work!!#its easier to support indie productions because usually theyre very small and manageable#but even then!! theres a lot of biases still present#but for stuff like disney tva and the shows hbo max is trying to pull the plug from? ''just pirate and support'' is so. Difficult#when you think of pirating and supporting infinity train you'd only think of owen dennis.#how about the dozens upon dozens of other production crew who worked with and under him?#how are you going to make sure they each also get the support they deserve?#i think advocating for rights and FAR better treatment for people working in the animation industry is. a more productive solution#''just pirate and donate'' feels. reductive in this context to be honest#NOT TO SAY IM AGAINST PIRATING. i am an advocate of that too#and definitely donate to creatives if you love their work#but let's. not act like this solves everything#op#animation
