The visual effects world has been thrown for a loop. One of the big 6 is showing signs of failure.
Let me explain.
I have been a part of a failing company before. This is an experience that I would have rather of not been thru. I watched a the CEO take a booming post house and destroy it in 18 months. Having a long credit list doesn't make you immune to failure. All it take is a leader that doesn't understand what we do.
I hope everything can get back to normal. 50 hour weeks for some 90 hours for others. days of greatness, and days when nothing will track, the grain won't match and the deadline is right now.
I will always go back to what a friend of mine said.
Despite current labor struggles, #vfx has been and will be an industry that thrives on creativity, intellect, and gut instinct. #jobsecurity
