What's to stop these production studios from reaching out to streamers, especially those who use green-screen effects, to try to get them to work across the picket lines?
@ArcturusSaDiablo The "streamers" would be called scabs and never be able to work with the SAG
also they do not get the protections of the SAG for negotiations.
@Kinnison
That much is assured.
But SAG doesn't consider streamers to be eligible for SAG membership already. So what's lost? Nothing.
The whole point is to get non-SAG workers. Streamers are a ready source of potential talent. So again, why wouldn't they try to tap it?
Streamers are not good actors.
@Kinnison
No, we're not.
But again.
Do you want "not good" or "nothing"? Plus, given their plan to sample for AI use, they don't NEED good. They just need something to take and manipulate at will.
that is why SAG and WGA are striking. Corporations think they can use CGI and AI to created artificial performing puppets
