I do not like that the Sonic Movie set the precedent that enough online backlash can bully a major studio into completely changing their film before release.

I think that a lot of times “fans” and “fandoms” don’t actually know why certain things in their fandoms work and sometimes you need new perspectives to bring in new fans into the mix. Like how the 2009 Star Trek film rekindled a lot of people’s interest in Star Trek.

I also think that sets a dangerous precedent that could be used by bad faith actors or vocal online groups to bully movie studios into catering to their highly restrictive and toxic will. And that could be used in sone really awful ways to oppress minorities and hurt lgbt+ representation in films. Like how religious groups keep Disney from embracing lgbt+ content in their films.

And yet…

Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bully Warner Bros into completely redoing the Minecraft movie?

Please?????

Back to report that I have seen the first episode of the Fallout tv show on Amazon Prime and it fucking slaps. Along with this, The Last of Us (HBO), Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Arcane: League of Legends (obviously), and many more, we can now say for certain that we are in the un-official golden era of video game adaptations (at least if it stays the course *knock on wood*).

Some shameless POS literally used AI to steal my friend's animated film

I usually don't post stuff like this but this shit's insane and downright insulting. I graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design in 2022, a pretty well known animation school in the US, and every animation student on their final year of college has to make an animated film for our final thesis. If you have any idea of the animation making process, you would know that making an entire film by yourself in one year is batshit insane and extremely exhausting, to the point where I'm still feeling the effects of the process on my physical and mental wellbeing 2 years after I graduated. Once more, my friends and I did it during the covid period, which was another level of hell. I was literally watching my grandfather's funeral while working in the labs at 2am because I couldn't fly home to attend it because we had to make this film. This film was our lifeblood, the culmination of 4 years of hell at school which was suppose to be our gateway into the industry. Tldr, it's fucking difficult to do, especially on your own.

So imagine 2 years later and I wake up to a bunch of messages on our alumni chat where a dear friend of mine posted a link to a tiktok video of someone literally stealing her entire film and superimpose it shot by shot and claim it as their own ad for their AI game. As animators, we aren't unaware of people stealing our films and reposting them elsewhere. Heck my own film "The End" was stolen from our school vimeo and posted on tiktok BEFORE IT WAS EVEN OFFICIALLY RELEASED, and that tiktok got hundreds of thousands of views while a year after my own real release my film is still struggling in the thousands.

But this

This is a fucking new low.

Can you imagine? A fresh graduate going through literal blood sweat and tears to make a film on their own that is so important to their future in the industry, to get them a job, with a film that represents a part of themselves to the world, just used as fodder for some stupid tech assholes? It's infuriating. It's insulting. It's literally a big fuck you to the hundreds of students who spent their lives toiling to make these films from the heart who are just desperate to get into the industry.

The animation industry right now is in complete shambles. People are graduating from animation schools with thousands of dollars in dept only to be met with a wasteland of minimum wage and lack of funding and competing for jobs with people who have already been in the industry for years affected by the massive layoffs not only in the movie but also the gaming industries. These films we make for our thesis aren't just films made for fun, they represent our lifeblood, our only opportunity to get a job as a graduate in this sea of hell. If you didn't make a good film, chances are you're never even stepping foot in the industry ever. It's our golden ticket that we would put thousands of hours through, sleepless nights and pushing through no matter the circumstances of sickness and pain it caused us.

And now some dumb fucking AI using dickbags see that and decide it's worth nothing.

Here's a link to my friend's real film. Please go watch it and support her work. I'm not even gonna link the other piece of shit tiktok because I don't want that video to even get a single extra view but here's a recording my friend made so you can see this malarkey side by side.

It's heartbreaking to see my friend's film barely getting any views while the stolen garbage is already in the thousands. I hope the person who stole my friend's work and made that shit dies in a fiery car crash and go straight to hell.

I cannot emphasise how we must not let this shit continue to happen. We're living in a fucking dystopia and unless we do something about it and support those affected by it it's only going to get worse. They're already expanded from stealing people's still art to stealing people's entire films, if we don't stop this nothing we create would ever be safe.

My friend's film:

Hey ya’ll

I know live action/animation hybrids are… polarizing. But this is important

The Coyote Vs. Acme movie. Based on a 1990 NYT article by Ian Frazier, is in risk of being 100% shelved. Written off for tax reasons on the 23rd.

David Zaslav and WB Discovery are both asshats and a talented crew worked on this film so speak up, petition, do anything, spread the word of this movie so it won’t get cancelled. This is a part of film history and to stick it to the man, do your part! Wouldn’t be surprised if someone ends up leaking the film or some shit like that. It’s the internet now but still, still. Speak up against this corporate ballyhoo politic crap. Support the film and animation crew. Do anything in your power to get this tax write off decision revoked. We can’t let the hard work of everyone involved be all for naught. We can’t let the rich bitch win!!!
