^thats what i was waiting for.

Some game companies have beds for their employees.

I'm sure animation studios are similar, anything art related has a deadline and an assembly line of people working on stuff, so you cant hold them back i guess.

and do you get overtime pay? i remember EA wouldn't pay time1/2 overtime because they weren't required to since its the "entertainment industry" or something.
