I specify that it's a studio which has already produced two films and different animated TVshow. The conversation was surreal, they didn't understand why I refused to make free trial days.

I forgot to say that when I entered into their office, they put a statuette in front of my face. I asked what it was. "Our emmy award !"

I received some questions from this story : Silly talk during the interview is a strategy levelling down the pay. They mistook me for a naive junior who will be happy to work in any condition. When we take people for idiots, we become it :)

Anyway, whatever the production, prestige is not a salary. The R* shitstorm about the 100 h per week proves that a dream can turn into modern slavery. Have confidence in yourself and take into account your limits and and those of others. Empathy is the solution.

So...that means all their designs were just off the cuff? No color keys, character or prop designs? Unless they thought concept art is entirely different from visual development for animation

No they have full time concept artists, but as poorly paid work. They think artists are always hungry and dream to work with them. It is a stupid trading strategy that works sometimes with the juniors...

Venant de n'importe qui, cette naïveté s'explique par le conformisme qu'on impose lors des orientations scolaires. Je suis pas blessé par ces remarques. Par contre venant de deux dirigeants de studios, il était clair que c'était une stratégie pour négocier et niveler par le bas.

I'm blown away how an animation studio would not know what a concept artist is ??? I am not from this work field but I assumed it's something you need for animation??...
