More than seven months Strike a strike Against all video game companies signed on interactive media agreement, SAG-AFTRA Video game artists on Wednesday instigated La Rain for their first picket for their first picket.
“Wildfire and awards season and everything that is working with the world, it felt the right time, where we can find it back,” “Resident Evil Village” actor and members of the interactive media agreement said Andy Noris. Diversity From the picket outside the WB Games in Burbank. “We can bring it back again and remind people that we are still fighting.”
While the SAG-AFTRA and video game companies bargaining committee (including activities, blindlight, Disney character voice, electronic arts products, formosa interactive, insomnia games, lama products, technology and wodcles, 2 productions and WW Games were able to find general land in 25 items).
“It boils three things for me,” the major voice actor Yuri Luventhl said, known for his performance as Peter Parker in the “Spider-Man” series of Insomniaq Games. “There is a consensus that you do not use the data you have recorded to build a performance from us, which we had no to say. Two, compensation: If you are going to do something like this, we deserve a piece of that. Otherwise, the actors will not be paid anymore anymore, and it is all over for us. And three: Control, to be able to track that kind of goods and know where it is going. ,
Many sag-abftra voice artists in the picket expressed disappointment that there is still no resolution on the horizon, given that 2023 Hollywood labor controversy, which addressed similar concerns about the use of artificial intelligence in the media, were resolved in a very short time. “Heads” Voice actor Marin M. Says Miller, “It is very impressed that the more difficult the on-camera movement was, the more difficult it was, and they were able to reach a deal in four months.” “We are very angry that we are not being taken seriously at this point.”
For Miller, the idea of the AI-rich voice clone defeats the entire purpose of creating art. Citing his performance as Nimbus in “Destiny 2”, Miller told Diversity“I was earlier sexually harassed in life. There were moments that I was drawing, from where I masked the pain of sexual harassment by reciting jokes, and that is what I pulled for that performance.”
He continued, “People of non -people came to me to me at conferences, to tell how much it means to see a non -person working in the media, just the current. Even though I am not there for them in those moments where the character and they interact, I still have that moment of intimacy, of connection. There is no intimacy or relationship if that work is done by the robot. This is just being used as a puppet. ,
Voice actor Scott Lambrite echoed Miller’s concerns, “AI is quickly going to divide it into a studio that does not use AI, and studios that do … This is going to make a bay in quality between the art created by emotional people and, I think it’s the word that the word is Dabra,
Sag-Aftra Executive Director Duncan Crabatry-Ayland told Diversity Regarding the arguments made by the video game publishers last year as to why they cannot agree with the AI language about speed and performance capture. The publishers argue that motion capture work is used as a compelling of actors in large -scale video games and not some manufacturers are able to accounting for compensation.
Noris said that there is still no clear end in sight, because there is no breed on that major issue. “They have not offered anything properly to us. We are not as close as they are making it sound, which is unfortunate, because what we are asking is still very appropriate: if you use my data to run your game, if you use my performance, I want to know about it and I want to compensate. ,
As the strike goes ahead, Noris hopes that more TV and film actors should be focused on fighting and stand in their favor in pickets, as many game actors did for them in 2023. The way she sees it, it is mutually beneficial. He said, “We are turning into a story of humanity in the front line of humanity,” he said. “This part of the industry is a canary in the coal mine, and I hope to understand other aspects of this industry. We all see it happening in real time, and so if they come out and support us, it supports them. This supports their fight. ,
