A new report about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse reveals 100 artists quit the movie amid brutal working conditions, such as last-minute changes.

I don't get where are "brutal"?
From the article the biggest complaint is: "last-minute changes that resulted in many artists' work being scrapped from the final movie."
What is wrong with that? A lot of live action movies have deleted scenes too. It remind me of video game Resident Evil 2, the original game got scrapped, because the director think it's not good.
When a director think a product is not good, they have every right to change it.
Yep. Look at the number of actors who have had ALL their scenes cut from movies. It happens.
share“…animators were hired in 2021 but had to wait three to six months while the movie was in its layout stage. This caused a time crunch that meant many animators had to work 11 hours a day, seven days a week. These conditions lasted more than a year…”
shareCrunch? 11 hours? What is the big deal with that? A lot of jobs are like that.
shareAs one whose longest work day was 26 hours, and who has suffered actual clinical exhaustion from 30 days straight of 16-20 hour days, of course a single 11 hour day week is nothing, but the last two lines of the article quote paint a different picture. Granted, I doubt all 100 people worked a year straight of 11 hour days without a single day off, but I hear of people complaining about having to work OT on an 8 hour day or a 6th day in a week, so it’s all relative…
shareAnd you miss they have free vacation too: "Those people are sitting there getting paid to do nothing."
Yes, crunch is bad, work 11 hours a day is bad, but they have free vacation!
Searched for “vacation” and “sitting” and found zero results. Not invested enough to reread article. :) My entire point is encapsulated in the (entire) section I quoted above.
shareI know people who were on the project for over a year who left, and now they have little to show for it because everything was changed.
