Wanna know what my rate was 5 yrs later? 42k! I was doubling as post production assistant AND a dialogue coordinator. I asked for a title change and a raise and I was told "if you work hard." It was like that for 6 months so I left #NewDeal4Animation

You will never find a full-time storyboard job that's only 40 hrs a week. You better be prepared to work nights and/or weekends because that's the way you'll be able to make a deadline, especially in action animation. This is my experience working for 11 years #NewDeal4Animation

If you’ve followed #NewDeal4Animation you’ve probably noticed this: writers talking about how they're desperate for work and can’t make ends meet on freelance, while storyboard artists are overworked to the point of physical breakdown. Guess what? These issues are linked! 1/6https://twitter.com/TAGYoungWorkers/status/1498357151001055233 …

my last canadian job paid 1/3 of what I'm making here (1/4 if you account for USD conversion) canada fam, i know it might be difficult hearing americans ask for more rn when you're doing the same job for less- but they need to be loud as we're going through negotiations (1/3)

many of you know that i used to compose background music for steven universe. these work conditions chew people up. please support storyboard artists and animation workers who make the shows you love https://twitter.com/aimeekitty/status/1498357356777775104 …

Storyboard artists are the folks whipping up the magic in pre-lay animation that lets everybody downstream of them do *their* magic--including voice actors! They bring so much to the table, and they deserve better pay and less burnout/injury! #StoryCraftUnite #NewDeal4Animationhttps://twitter.com/kianamaiart/status/1498358686670016512 …

Fuck it, in support of #NewDeal4Animation, here's a thread about my last board gig and why I'm not working in TV animation right now: After working on several successful shows, and having a wildly popular short, I still had a hell of a time finding work last year (1/?)

Story time: For my first ever board assignment, my partner and I had to conceptualize and design a completely new location and discuss it with the bg design team. This process ate into time I should have used to learn how to do my actual job. #TooManyHatshttps://twitter.com/TAGStoryGroup/status/1466511727219003397 …

Please!! They are *counting* on us being too exhausted and overextended to make noise and advocate for our profession. Fans and appreciators, this directly affects the quality of the content we deliver. Aspiring story artists, this directly affects your future work conditions.https://twitter.com/itsleahelaine/status/1498358325196451840 …

When I left Netflix due to burnout, someone outside our industry told me I was making a big mistake and I should continue to work hard. Here’s something many don’t understand: our work doesn’t truly start at 9am and stop at 5pm like most jobs. #StoryCraftUnite #NewDeal4Animation

Working my first storyboard job & I love it! But in addition to all of the acting, shots, and camerawork, I've also designed characters/props/bgs, timed/edited my boards, recorded scratch + spliced/split up audio, made spreadsheets, and been my own revisionist. #StoryCraftUnite
