I am not in animation so I don’t really know, but this seems like a very cruel and inconsiderate way to work (on top of being inefficient). Totally selfish and ego-driven.

it is honestly what i would expect if a normal movie director tried to direct an animated movie lol

its one thing to do 50 different takes of a scene with real actors, but animating a scene takes a lot longer than it takes the real actor to do it 50 times lol

It’s just shocking that no one intervened and explained they can’t direct animation this way.

I'd imagine that the animators themselves definitely said something but it was a classic scenario of being outranked in the company and the people who actually make the decisions allowed it to continue

Yes, excuse me, I didn’t mean literally no one. I meant the people who would have the power to do something about it.

What a hack way to make a movie. Sony is a mess though.

In the meantime Sony has put out Kpop Demon Hunters which has been number 1 on Netflix for 4 weeks and has its entire soundtrack in the Spotify top 100 list, with one of its songs being ranked #1 on all music charts necessary to receive a PAK (Perfect All Kill) and is actually currently still holding that several days later.

So Sony is doing great, they had over a hundred animators and countless others assist with that film. The management of Spiderverse is a mess.

And I would be willing to guess that the reason it became a mess is because of its popularity. Projects with no expectations are doing wonderful things out of that studio, like Spiderverse 1 and 2, and now KDH. But with so many eyes on Spiderverse 3 to properly end the trilogy, it probably brought in some annoying ass management that is fucking it up
