‘Saturday Night Live’ Visual Effects Artists Unionize With IATSE
Sixteen VFX artists who work on digital shorts for 'Saturday Night Live' have unionized under IATSE and won recognization from NBCUniversal.
Sixteen visual effects artists who work on pre-recorded digital shorts for “Saturday Night Live” have unionized with IATSE and won official recognition from series producer Broadway Video and NBCUniversal. It’s an intense, collaborative, and extremely fun environment that constantly tests the limits of our skills, our versatility, and, after long days staring at a screen, our ability to form coherent sentences,” said VFX artist Richard Lampasone in a statement provided by IATSE. We look forward to celebrating Season 50 by joining in ‘SNL’s’ decades-long tradition of supporting union labor, and to helping negotiate a contract that reflects the substantial value we add and makes ours a more accessible and sustainable career for years to come.”
