Workers at Vancouver’s WildBrain animation studio look to unionize
“…workers are concerned about issues such as scheduling, base pay, and the rising cost of living in Vancouver.
They are also seeking ways to address “the precarity (insecurity) that’s really baked into the industry,” Gladman told CBC’s The Early Edition on Wednesday.
“People are working really short-term contracts, sometimes weeks at a time,” he said. “You go to work on Friday. You’re not sure if you’ll have a job on Monday. I think workers are just tired of holding the bag when things slow down every time.”

Joe Murray – Creating Animated Cartoons with Character
Hi Everyone. I receive countless letters asking about my book” Creating Animated Cartoons with Character” which is now out of print, with the remaining copies being sold at huge prices. I’m not in favor of this, and it seems there are many who may benefit from the information who cannot afford such an expensive book. Since artists come in many economic brackets, I am offering a digital version of this book as a free download. No strings attached. Simply go to my website (JoeMurrayStudio.com) in the book section https://lnkd.in/gw6MHeBi and download your own copy.
Once you get passed the boring bio stuff, there is info on creating and producing two of my three shows, plus interviews with the late great Stephen Hillenburg ( Spongebob) Everett Peck ( Duckman) Craig McCracken ( Powerpuff Girls) Tom Kenny ( voice of Spongebob, Heffer and a zillion other shows), and many other amazing professionals discussing their craft. Some of the information about networks, studios, and streaming need an upgrade, but other than that I feel it still remains relevant.
If you can afford it, maybe pay it forward ( contributions to food banks, volunteering, etc.) And maybe re-post this where students and other artists may find it useful.
I hope it helps, and reaches those who have asked about it. Best to you!Local copy
