SAG-AFTRA Deal: What You Need to Know
collider.com: After a historic 118-day strike (the longest in the union's history), SAG-AFTRA has formed a tentative deal with the AMPTP and Hollywood's studios. With a deal finally struck, the industry's biggest upcoming productions can finally get back to work, with hugely anticipated projects like Deadpool 3, Beetlejuice 2, and more resuming production after the long delay. Formulating a deal that ensures fair and equal compensation for actors in the industry was certainly long overdue, yet even though the announced tentative deal puts an end to the long strike, some members of the industry aren't satisfied with some of the compromises SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP made (particularly as it pertains to artificial intelligence).
Google DeepMind’s AI Pop Star Clone Will Freak You Out

Hurdles Made of Dollar Bills: The Gatekeeping of a College Education in Musical Theatre
AMT Lab @ CMU: Every year, thousands of high school seniors across the United States (and a privileged few from countries across the globe) participate in what laymen could only describe as the closest possible experience to a human cattle call: the musical theatre college audition process. From campus visits to testing to prescreens and the final audition, the process can cost thousands of dollars for an auditioner and their family, even without additional support like coaching or a summer intensive program. While, of course, institutional and governmental financial aid is available, these are not resources that are available to all students during their process and education.
Wallace & Gromit Creator Aardman Is Almost Out of Clay
gizmodo.com: Aardman Animations has been defined by its clay animation techniques. Known as Newplast plasticine, it’s been used since the studio’s inception back in 1972, in all its productions, from the Wallace & Gromit shorts to more recent fare like Star Wars Visions and Shaun the Sheep. You know you’re watching an Aardman production when you see it, and it’s hard to imagine them not doing claymation.
