ha, it is funny to see the news line-up on MU:

1) VFX industry is in a deep s*** (what we all know since months)
2) Hobbit Trailer (a VFX Orgy)
3) XYZ Companies share for free hundreds of 3d cars, 3D trees, 3D people, whatever for VFX productions…

If i would be a psychologist and this my patient, I would create an interesting profile for his terrible disease.

LOL…

“Houses that used to get jobs with enough overhead and profit to survive can no longer do that. Their people are too expensive, their overhead is too high, and in many cases their management team has little or no training in business. ”

More like the bids are too low in order to beat out neighboring FX houses for the job. That “people too expensive” that is a load of bull, on set people make as much or more than most VFX people.
