I WANT TO KNOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR MEMBERS AND CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE WE CAN ALL GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER. I HOPE TO BUILD COMMUNITY AND CONNECTEDNESS IN OUR CORNER OF THIS LARGE INDUSTRY. One of my union fantasies is to have a union hall where members can just drop in and visit. We would provide refreshments, maybe some games, music, and a place to just hang out. I pushed for TAG to start hosting mixers so that members could have an opportunity to get to know each other in a relaxed, festive environment and we had success with those. We started hosting Lunch-and-Learns and panels. My predecessor, KC Johnson, activated our robust committee system that is yet another way for members to interact and push towards common goals. ON THE COVER The pandemic outbreak has pulled the brakes on our in-person efforts. The Guild Clancy travels the universe leadership has been doing what it can to get back on track with reaching and connecting in The Midnight Gospel. to our members. Like most companies, we’re moving to the virtual union meeting hall. Image courtesy of Netflix. The Executive Board has continued having our monthly meetings through Zoom. Committee meetings are also being held in the virtual space. Leslie Simmons, our Field Rep, is holding Zoom studio visits and shop steward training. Alexi Drosu, our Director of Communications and Content, has been busy figuring out how to best meet our members’ needs, exploring virtual panels and Lunch-and-Learns. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with. Our first virtual General Membership Meeting was a smooth success. We had members from all over the country join us! For my part, I have started a weekly Zoom question and answer and general discussion meeting called Office Hours. Our Business Rep, Steve Kaplan, and I along with a weekly guest field questions from attending members. We start with a particular topic in mind but will go where the discussion takes us. It takes place every Friday from noon to 12:30 p.m.. As of this letter, we’ve had four successful Office Hours sessions so far and I look forward to the future! Keep an eye out for Office Hours announcements and rsvps. When this pandemic lifts, I look forward to making my dream of a TAG union hall a reality but until then we have our virtual spaces to connect with each other.

    February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In

    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1

    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

El papel de interlocutor único asignado a los medios de comunicación se ve amenazado por la emergencia de emisores individuales que en pocos años han adquirido niveles de influencia social similares a los ejercidos por muchos profe- sionales vinculados a corporaciones mediáticas internacionales. En este artículo se discuten las características de este nuevo formato y hasta qué punto podría suponer un cambio del modelo medio-céntrico en la sociedad de consumo televisiva. Para ello, analizamos la evolución del podcast independiente The Joe Rogan Experience, un programa de infoentretenimiento multicanal iniciado en el salón de una casa en Los Ángeles en 2009 y reciente ganador del premio al mejor podcast de humor de iTunes en 2012. Palabras clave Podcast - Joe Rogan - Credibilidad - Internet - Infoentretenimiento - Medios de comunicación - Formato periodístico - Comunidad virtual Abstract The hegemonic role assigned to mass media in the 20th century has been recently threatened by the arrival of individual broadcasters that have used the Internet to acquire similar levels of influence to those enjoyed by many media professionals.
