What is wrong with this man? He can't keep a job for a year.
Maxwell Atoms is a loser

Careers in animation are long strings of short-term jobs. Very rarely are you going to spend longer than 2 years at one place.
Source or its fake and israeli.
Doesn't he get royalties from B&M. Then again ain't nobody watching that now.
>Doesn't he get royalties from B&M. Then again ain't nobody watching that now.
Checkered Past has been shilling it everyday.
Plus CN has been shilling it online. I saw a shirt of it at Spencer’s too. So he has to at least get something out of those.
He should start a Patreon selling porn of characters like Eris and that goggled chick from Evil con carne.
I literally came here to post this.
I would shell out a few hundred bucks for sketched porn of Eris with his autograph
Pretty sure that breaks NDAs
The irony is it'd probably look less polished and erotic than fanartists. Show runners rarely maintain the ability to do finished pieces.
Maxwell Atoms is based, and OP is a homosexual.
>He can't keep a job for a year.
Neither can you
Bro became political and in this new environment and after the writers strike shit, studios are becoming very careful on who they hire now. Hope it was worth Maxwell.
How did he become political? What new environment? Do you need an adult?
I'm just saying that he became political and started hanging out with VIvziepop to save his career, and Vivziepop is poison in the animation industry. Plus he used a tragedy to go after conservicucks and that pretty much sealed his fate. He'll probably go the way of John K. He'll do cartoons in other countries like Joe Murray does.
>using the word "conservacuck" to feign neutrality
Where do you think you are? Stop being a pussy, this is Cinemaphile
I don't like politics. I just found it Ironic he used a tragedy to go after people while completely ignoring what his side did. He's a hypocrite.
>[citation needed]
Share actual proof or shut up you schizo. Hanging out with Vivziepop isn't career-ruining just because you hate her.
He's referring to this post (https://maxwellatoms.tumblr.com/post/685445936537911296/remember-that-post-a-few-days-ago-where-i-groused) where Max went on a cookie cutter libtard rant against trumptards. Obviously, the moron delusion in this is thinking that making a cookie cutter liberal statement would get you blacklisted, rather than most creators don't get more than one show, let alone any at all.
Just working with Vivziepop isn't inherently political. And if all he said was he didn't like Trump, then that's barely even a hot take. Most people don't like Trump, or any politician to begin with.
>Posts zero proof
Either post a source or have a nice day you fricking homosexual
birchy is a tripgay schizo
Frick off Amalkaposter. Maxwell has done more in his life than you ever will.
>morons on Cinemaphile will still go: ”J-Japan is worse I swear”
Sad!
Go frick yourself, OP.
What happened to him?
Standard artist shit, either the company treats you like gum and spits you out when done or you're a stickler who can't keep up with what you've got.
Also name like 1 animation creator that successfully stuck around in the field after their 1-hit-wonder show completed?
>Also name like 1 animation creator that successfully stuck around in the field after their 1-hit-wonder show completed?
Genndy
why does Cinemaphile act like working an animation is like a STEM job?
Because co doesn't understand how media is made, they only know how to consume it.
Every time a thread like this comes up idiots miss the point completely. The lesson for anyone who wants to get into animation remains the same; don't sell out. I'll say it again, DON'T SELL OUT. This is what you can look forward too. Companies are fickle as are audiences. Going indie gives you the ability to counter changes in what audiences want and you get to keep your ideas. Dana, Viv, Max, and Hannah all made the same mistake of being signing their souls away to big corpos who took their ideas and fricked them. A few of those names deserved it because they are genuinely toxic people, but they got fricked nonetheless. Don't sell out no matter what they offer, no matter how much money or creative control they promise they'll give you, never ever sign. Stay indie, work through Patreon or Subscribestar, it'll suck to start up but you will be happier in the long run.
>Don't sell out no matter what they offer, no matter how much money or creative control they promise they'll give you, never ever sign.
Maxwell Atoms explained if you want a show on network TV you're gonna have to sign away the rights to it. If you don't give them the rights you don't get a show. The corporations would gain nothing from letting the creators make a show AND own the rights to it.
Fricking Van Partible got fired from CN, brought back, then promoted to president of CN Asia. Left after a while and I'm pretty sure he owns a small studio making shit for Amazon Prime now
He's not even an animator. How the frick did he do it
Asian genes
He implied his career was partially damaged after Michael Ouwelleen had a whole meeting with him to shit on Billy & Mandy.
Why did Michael hate him so much? Did Maxwell frick his wife or something?
>Have you ever considered working with Adult Swim since your cartoons follow a more apocalyptic theme?
>I have a couple of ideas that I think would KILL on Adult Swim. But since the current president is the guy who gave me a public dressing-down for “ruining Cartoon Network’s brand” with my “hateful fart cartoon” before promptly firing me… such a collaboration seems incredibly unlikely.

Who knows? Ouwelleen also co-created Harvey Birdman so there's that.
I refuse to believe that Ouwelleen had a significant role in making Harvey Birdman as good as it was, despite the co-creator credit. It makes even less sense when you realize that Birdman was really mean-spirited and crude in a way that was similar to Billy & Mandy.
But if there's one show that I think which genuinely reflects Ouwelleen idea of a "show" then it would be Birdgirl. Because it's a stale, lifeless, safe, and boring show that was made to appeal to him, and only him.
>It makes even less sense when you realize that Birdman was really mean-spirited and crude in a way
>any instance of Scrappy-Doo
>Astro in the Jetsons episode
>Ernie Devlin
>just how pathetic and beaten Harvey can be in some episodes
He's so fricking lame, good lord.
They even made Boo-Boo Bear a parody of the Unabomber. Ouwelleen is a fricking hypocrite that sucked some CN executives dick to get to where he is now
Harvey Birdman was a show on Adult Swim while Billy & Mandy was a show on Cart Network. That's the difference. Aqua Teen Hunger Force was more mean-spirited than both, but just like Birdman it was on Adult Swim.
Seems like Ouwelleen's supposed beef with Billy & Mandy was that it was a show on Cartoon Network with its humor.
He didn't like Billy & Mandy and thought it ruined CN's brand. He seemed to think the show was mean-spirited and juvenile.
He wasn’t wrong tbh.
I agree, but if he didn't like the show that much he should've just pushed for to be cancelled.
Still better than Space Ghost
>Still better than Space Ghost
YOU SHUT YOUR prostitute MOUTH
That story was about Ouwelleen? This guy is nothing but a mess post-Birdman. I can't believe how incredible that show is, entirely in spite of him.
He’s also the reason Teen Titans Go will never be cancelled.
The industry gatekeeps people like him, you are victim blaming. One of the heads of the company literally said his big show was a hateful fart cartoon even though it made them a bunch of money.
Not bad
What the frick ever happened to that puppet show he was working on.
IIRC it didn't get funded so Atoms gave all the kickstarter money back.
He was able to film some scenes before SAG rules screwed it over with high costs and not being allowed to have non-union actors on the project. So he ended up having to cancel the project and refund all the money
>I made some great progress over November and December. We shot Conglomerate vehicle interiors, the vast majority of the Normalbar interior, some outdoor car chase pieces, a round of miniatures, and squibbed some people in my kitchen. And then the other shoe dropped.
>Or shoes. For one thing, filming actors under a SAG contract is very expensive. The insurance for the actors in November alone was 1/10 of the entire budget for the entire project. I also discovered that I legally can’t mix SAG and non-SAG actors, even for an ultra-low budget film. Which means that everything I did in November and December is a very expensive wash.
>How could I not know this? Apparently a lot of the actors didn't either. I do have an entertainment lawyer in my employ, and we're going to have a nice long talk about that real soon.

for what purpose? to be nice? also frick the guild
What a shame
