first day as a small-town sherif and you discover that some of the convicts you're transporting managed to escape in the night and since the penalty for letting prisoners escape is death, and the penalty for being late because you were looking for escaped prisoners is also death, you decide to free ALL of them and go hide out in the wilderness for a bit, except the convicts are super grateful so they make you their leader and it turns out they're decent guys who were exploited by a tyrannical government, so long story short you're crowd-sourcing for a peasant uprising and would anyone like to chip in?

3650th day and due to a series of unforeseen events you are now the emperor and founder of the han dynasty.

hi!!!! there been news articles saying that the working conditions of spiderverse were rlly rlly bad to the point of 100 ppl quitting or someting…. sorry to be liek an annoying reporter and b kinda invasive but is this tru D:

the big article that came out, for anyone curious: https://www.vulture.com/2023/06/spider-verse-animation-four-artists-on-making-the-sequel.html

there are some aspects about the article that i don't feel comfortable commenting on, but yes a lot of animators did quit. a lot of it had to do with the issues mentioned in the article, but a lot also left because disney opened a studio in vancouver (where sony imageworks is located) and had to hire an entire crew. i don't blame people for leaving spiderverse to get in on being a part of establishing the disney vancouver studio

i will also say that some of the information going around is incorrect; we did not work 11 hours a day, 7 days a week for over a year. working 7 days a week is illegal, and though some people worked sundays, they were clearly told that they could not work the next saturday if they worked a sunday. we encouraged people to not work ghost hours, and OT was always optional (except for saturday work towards the end, but nobody was punished or anything if they couldn't work a saturday). we also get paid for OT. i was on the movie for over a year but we certainly weren't crunching that whole time. like the article said, we were idle for a long time

it was undeniably a hard movie to work on and with such a large crew, everyone had a wide variety of experiences. the anonymous animators in the article aren't wrong, but i will say that there are people that felt differently, or not as strongly as them. it's a complicated issue that doesn't have a simple solution

i just hope this doesn't tarnish your view of the movie. we worked hard on it and everyone's immense celebration of the animation is making all that hard work very worth it!

maybe an unpopular opinion but despite my passion for self development, i honestly dislike most typical 'self development' books and really believe you get a lot more self-expansion out of reading creative non-fiction, essays, philosophy, and literature. engagement with these types of works will expand your intellect and teach you how to grapple with big ideas for yourself, rather than following the rules set out by some girl boss or hustle bro in their glorified marketing pamphlet 'book'.

the 1920s: we're going to Liberate Women From Old-Style Corsets!

me: okay. not sure I agree wholeheartedly that that's something one needs to be liberated from, but certainly one can bend at the waist easier and I'm told you want to do more of that in your dancing. also freedom of individual comfort in undergarment choice is best. so no corsets, then?

the 1920s: hahaha no there will still be corsets, obvi

me: wait but-

the 1920s: they're going to be heavy-duty elastic and only cover the lower torso! :)

me: ...won't that be massively sweaty though? and isn't that just pure shapewear without any redeeming qualities like breast support?

the 1920s: ewwwww ew ew ew. breasts are gross. the new brassieres will flatten them actually

me: so, binders. women are going to be wearing binders if they want/need breast support

the 1920s: Sometimes We Will Combine The Binders With The Elastic Tube Corsets! :D :D D:

me:

the 1920s: and we're going to talk about ~liberating women's bodies~ so much that people who've never worn either style, but for whom our clothing looks more comfortingly familiar, will believe it was unilaterally better. and that we didn't wear corsets at all

me: ...I'm just going to be over here in the corner repeating "end of gendered voting restrictions, jazz, Harlem Renaissance" over and over so I don't murder you
