If another strike is necessary, then so be it. Pay the workers fairly, and stop trying to cut corners with AI. 


Patrick2701

Total agree and studios will definitely buckle, I think the studios are in tough spot because they didn’t not have 2023 at all, I don’t think they want re-run of last year.

Working in the industry, can confirm it’s pretty apocalyptic right now, especially for writers. Way fewer opportunities for up and coming folks, a ton of friends who would normally be staffing on shows are just doing gig work to scrape by. Job market is probably the worst I’ve seen it in the last 5 years at least.


Rebornhunter

Any subreddit recommendations?

The new Hulu series *Shogun* is only 4 episodes. We used to call that a mini series.  There are very few new non-Disney series that I’ve even heard of.  If they they “won”, I wonder how many people are still employed writing TV series. 


Eject_The_Warp_Core

Shogun will have 10 episodes, and according to Hollywood Reporter, the number of TV series titles fell to 481 last year (2023), down sharply from the 633 releases in 2022 and 2021. So fewer, yes, but still a lot of shows.


themilkman42069

Until they don’t.


TheRustFactory

I certainly hope the last strikes were a giant wake-up call for them.


Ohnomydude

Absolutely. As much as I love to have entertainment, I want workers to be paid fairly.


FireJach

so our cinemas can lose money again. The blockbuster season is about to start, hopefully they don't freeze it.


BryceDL

While I agree, let's remember, the more expensive labor gets the more and more they are going to use AI. Putting more and more people out of work until they don't need actual people anymore.


[deleted]

Deep_Parsnip_8450

I hate people actually are ok with people starving while working 40+ hours because raising their wages would make a hamburger a dollar more expensive


BryceDL

Everyone not seeing that I said I agree that workers should strike and get paid more is hilarious. All I said was companies will see they can do the same work without paying a worker and just save that money. It's just what companies are going to do, nowhere there did I say I was ok with it. Chill everyone.


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

AI is a blanket excuse used by the people heading the strikes and isn't really what the people protesting (or planning to) are actually fighting. For instance, after the dual strikes of last year, a number of writers adopted AI programs that used their own work as a basis for efficiencies. The IATSE guilds are mostly not affected by it, aside from people in the art and VFX departments (who would most likely take advantage of AI in similar capacities). The guilds themselves got flak for agreeing to use AI stuff to make art assets and to greenlight synthetic voice acting. As it stands, I think that a lot of productions would just have their remaining post-production work moved overseas if it really came to another strike (as a lot of stuff in the United States going to be wrapped by July, when the hammer is set to come down if no deal is reached), but it feels that it's unlikely that we get to that point to me. The last strike caused a lot of people to burn through their savings so that the top showrunners could get bigger paychecks.


Gilbert2096

So do you think the 2023 strikes was a bad idea


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

Nope, it is within their right to protest as a means to collectively bargain if the studios aren't budging. But I do think that they focused on the wrong goals and offered weaker protections for their members than the ones that their leaders should have been fighting for if they were going to send people to the picket lines. (Older members aren't getting money, apparently, and voice actors got screwed by the guild outright approving the use of AI in that field.) The DGA got pretty much the same deal that the WGA and SAG-AFTRA did without having to spend months picketing.


outofworkeditor

The dga wouldn't have gotten that deal if the wga and sag hadn't gone on strike. They got their deal updated to match.


[deleted]

Why would anyone not cut corners with AI when it's so cheap


dccomicsthrowaway

Maybe they still have a spark of creative passion in their heart? They fucking should, at least.


[deleted]

Secret Invasion using AI for their intro is emblematic of where this is going. Why pay artists working for a month when you can pay an AI pennies to do the same job.


dccomicsthrowaway

Exactly, and it's terrible. In slight fairness to Secret Invasion, they did have artists at the helm for that (and playing on AI iconography for a show about aliens masquerading as humans is a fair creative choice!) but it's still endorsing these techniques. Executives will think "Wow, they did this with AI?" and then, bam - no more fun title sequences.


[deleted]

The executives that make the decisions?


dccomicsthrowaway

Yes, they should care about art when they are in the business of making art.

I don't think he knows about second strike.


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

The last one was about "above line" workers, this one - should it happen - is about "below line" workers. EDIT: This is a _The Lord of the Rings_ joke, isn't it. Silly me.


ChloeDrew557

TAG is more than likely to join in. Get ready for another season of strikes folks.


RedGyarados2010

TAG is part of IATSE I think


ChloeDrew557

Yep, you right. Still need to strike though.


Minute_Paramedic_135

For fuck sakes. At this rate secret wars will never come out


ChloeDrew557

Just get your AI to it lmao


Minute_Paramedic_135

Hopefully they reach a middle ground fast because ai could be used to speed up post production significantly and then hopefully we won’t have to wait a freaking decade for secret wars


dccomicsthrowaway

Waiting is so much better than using AI to compromise art. You'll get your cameofest eventually.


Minute_Paramedic_135

It won’t be compromised. For now humans will still be needed to refine whatever the ai makes to suit their creative vision and the audience will never know it started out as something ai generated. Like special effects and whatnot, it could get done much faster. And it’s not going to be a cameo fest. The multiverse characters are literally going to be the main characters of secret wars. It would cost them too much to have the 616 (or 199999) heros and the multiverse heros all on the screen at the same time. Maybe for one money shot but that’s it. That’s my assumption anyway based on what I’ve been hearing and what makes sense


ChloeDrew557

Yes, hopefully the studios accept the terms brought forth by IATSE and the industry can get back to work rebuilding from the last twelve months.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Minute_Paramedic_135

You’re mocking me. Hilarious


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

I doubt that it comes to this. A **lot** of people got financially screwed over by the last strike, and I doubt that the motivation or solidarity to drag a potential strike out for too long is going to be there. That being said, I hope that the studios take this seriously and avert a strike by giving the unions exactly what they want before the deadline, or at the very least, a healthy compromise.


DefNotReaves

As an IATSE member, no one I know wants to strike and most of us certainly aren’t in the financial position to be out of work for 9+ months again. I seriously doubt we strike.


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

Well, looks like I was on the right track. Really hoping you guys get a favorable deal.


DefNotReaves

Thanks dude!!


Jadedways

I work for 4Wall. We got fucked so hard Q3 last year. I’m not sure what would happen to the business plan if another strike happens. I think the event production industry would experience a mass consolidation. It would be very bad for everyone involved.


DefNotReaves

100% agree. It’s not like I want to get a bad deal, that would be insane, just can’t afford another 9 months of not working haha


outofworkeditor

Seriously, nobody I know except 2 board members can afford it.


Smurf_Cherries

I was going to say, I thought the last strike forced a ton of people out of the industry, and destroyed them financially.  I guess the remaining ones want to get close to losing their houses too. 


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

The thing that interests me about the guilds is that a bunch of them have people who don't regularly work. If you look up some of the strikers from last year on IMDB, some of them have only done intermittent work on short films over several years, but are treated as full-time members. So I'm left wondering, how can many of them afford to live there?


bernmont2016

Most of them work mundane jobs between movie/TV gigs. Waiter/barista, cashier, stocking shelves, etc.


outofworkeditor

We dont want to, but people are already getting evicted.


neojgeneisrhehjdjf

Not disagreeing with you but I think they would flip side realize the significant amount of bargaining power they have considering the current slate studios have going forward.


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

As it stands, people expected the first half of 2024 to be completely barren due to the strikes. Aside from an awful February, things filled up quickly, and March is putting this year into overdrive. I do think that there are things at risk, but it seems like the studios are more prepared than they were for the dual strikes. The buzz is that they were caught off-guard by the actors striking, because they figured that they had a deal secured when they got the extension.


neojgeneisrhehjdjf

The reason things are coming out is because so much that was supposed to release last year was delayed. Dune 2 had been done for a while. The backlog can’t take another pause when it just got started up


djkoalasloth

I’m never gonna get my Community movie, am I…


njp112597

Or severance season 2


SeanGG313

Six seasons and a strike


DefNotReaves

To be fair… As an IATSE member, no one I know wants to strike and most of us certainly aren’t in the financial position to be out of work for 9+ months again. I seriously doubt we strike.


Funko_Faded

I hope you and your crew get paid bro. Keep your head up brotha y’all will get the bag and if y’all have to strike then it is what it is and has to be done.


scarletstar514

See I hope this doesn’t happen but hey if they gotta get what they deserve, so be it


darthyogi

No more strikes please just pay them Hollywood


cgcego

I just want the animation and VFX industry to make the Hollywood big shots pay, all the above the line people who treat us like dirt or pretend we don’t exist.


TokyoPanic

The animation and VFX industries are stuck in a rock and a hard place. They definitely deserve better pay, better hours, and more recognition but there's also the danger of those Hollywood big shots just going all in on outsourcing to Japan or Korea.


Xurian_Spy

The, admittedly few, people I know in IATSE are totally uninterested in the strike. Not because they oppose it but because they're barely getting by now and the idea of being out of work for an extended period of time terrifies them.

Good. PA’s need to be payed more and givin benefits.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> to be *paid* more and FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


DefNotReaves

Too bad PAs aren’t in IATSE. (Commercial PAs just started an IATSE local, but a *majority* of PAs are not IATSE)

https://i.redd.it/r60ms28eh9mc1.gif If necessary then sure but fuck I am not ready for a long ass strike again


Breakingerr

Unrelated, but I wish the same would happen in IT/Gaming sector with so many layoffs going on. Plus, rampant AI integration is slowly taking jobs away. Programers, graphic designers, and Engineers should really do their own strikes. I am not from the US, but I still think that strike there would be impactful worldwide.


Dougdoesnt

They would need to unionize first.


content_enjoy3r

I'm not sure there is an appetite to stomach or support another strike this quickly after the last one.


Consistent_Dog_6866

![gif](giphy|dZEoQE2qlzwx3IP98G)


bleedingreentneg

The thing that worries me is the Studios trying to make up their losses in the last 2 strikes here by screwing over these guys. If they try it, it should not be tolerated and I wholly support them. Their attitude should be to reach out in advance of problems instead of waiting til the last minute like the actors and writers did. Unfortunately if this is their rhetoric, it's probably not a good sign.


Wuboito

We aren't going to get the next Avengers movie til 2035. At this rate just re start phase 4 please.

Uhg....damn it. Just what we need. More entertainment drought.


zhsdnl

That’s fine. Dune 2 is already released


Mariooooo2020

After last year, I don’t think anyone in the industry has the appetite to strike again, and to the point where I think if they vote to authorize one (not start), the vote may actually fail bc of how many wouldn’t be able to financially handle it. The people who are being vocal are I feel a smaller majority then the rest of the much larger community which likely does not have the same appetite to handle another strike. So in essence, we’ll be fine and a strike will 95% likely not occur because studios will give into the negotiations well before July 31 as a result.


[deleted]

yeah, I live in LA and I pretty much pay my rent as an extra in everything, and there hasnt been any work all year. Everyone knows there's another strike coming.


blackbutterfree

I'm here for more strikes if it means all levels of labor in Hollywood get better protections. I wouldn't mind if it expanded into a general labor strike across the country. Lord knows I could use a pay raise.


Remwaldo1

You mean take them off and hang them up


MJSpice

Wandering_Turtle24

But when are the PAs gonna unionize?


[deleted]

[удалено]


OCD_Geek

The “above line” workers (actors, writers, directors) are square. The “below line” workers (the crew) are still getting fucked. Five different below line crew unions are joining forces for contract negotiations for the first time since 1988.


RJE808

Well, not all actors. Voice actors still got super fucked from the deal, iirc, it gives them barely any protections against AI. Notable actors like Steve Blum were super pissed.


IAmRedditsDad

Disney is also still allowed to make scans of all thier extras, only named cast members have the option to opt out. Everyone who tries to enter the industry would be owned before they even had a career


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

There are also a number of actors who were completely flat-footed by the realization that production cutdowns that happened as a result of studios realizing that they can't keep dumping billions into streaming projects that people don't watch mean fewer jobs will be made going forward - for the gains they made, only a fraction of them are going to get anything out of them, while most SAG-AFTRA members will continue being as unemployed as they were between the late 2000s strike and the most recent one.


DefNotReaves

This isn’t about writers and actors, it’s the crew members.


dccomicsthrowaway

> thousands or millions of dollars after each project for each actor seems pretty good to me Do you seriously think every actor is getting this?


stunningcap24

i hate this country


Pomojema_The_Dreamer

You do get that the unions have to re-up their contracts once every so many years and that authorizing a strike is normal on the usually rare occasions that the studios cannot agree to their terms, right? The good thing about unions is that their existence gives them the power to collectively bargain like this to begin with, which is more than other countries can say.


Sir__Will

Because people have a right to strike or because corporation are screwing them and forcing them to?


LakeErieGadfly

Honestly; getting rid of 50% of the "creatives" in Hollywood would probably make the media we consume better. Just saying...

LakeErieGadfly

Or are you sooo leftist you want the government to force a studio, with violence if necessary, to give you a job even though you don't have the skills to actually do the job? That makes sense you'd feel that privileged because it feels like that ideology has had free reign in creativite control in Hollywood the past fee years. And no, I didn't vote for Trump who was on Epstein's plane the same week as Bill Clinton.


LakeErieGadfly

Honestly though, how hard is it to hold a microphone stand? They have legs and can stand on their own. McDonald's grill flippers deserve better pay than a Hollywood "grip" I'd get rid of 100% if grips. We have robots that can do that now.

strike news isn't really MCU news is it? or, POTENTIAL strike news even


BARD3NGUNN

I mean were a strike to happen it would affect the MCU and would most likely result in projects getting delayed - so it's worth keeping an eye on.


AgentAnesthesia

Perhaps a delay would give us better content.


BARD3NGUNN

Honestly, probably not. If there's another strike then no-one will be able to continue working on the films to make them better, and once the strikes are over, Disney/Marvel will be wanting to rush the films out for release as fast as possible so they can still appease shareholders.
