Unions

There are two different unions in the states that cover storyboard artists, one for live-action and the other for animation. The live-action union is IATSE (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees), Local 790, which covers entertainment industry illustrators and matte artists. (They do not have a web site. For information, you can call 818-784-6555.) The animation union is The Animation Guild, otherwise known as Affiliated Optical Electronic and Graphic Arts, Local 839 of IATSE (www.AnimationGuild.org).
