Unfortunately, companies often do not value experience because it seems expensive on paper, when all they do is compare the hourly/daily rate for juniors and seniors; particularly when those companies are managed by accountant type people that don't understand or want to understand the

looks like filtering problems, the curves on the corner pin are pretty smooth ps you should pipe a HD res reformat into the bg of the scanline render, otherwise the example doesnt line up if one has a different default format On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 11:28 AM, Simon Björk bjork.si...@gmail.com

I had a similar experience on three separate occasions. The teams were always smaller (up to 60 people including producers and everyone else), and the director was ALWAYS IN THE ROOM with us. I must say it was so rewarding and everyone felt we got the best value for the money spent, and that every

Yeah Ron but how do you manage that when there are 10 VFX houses working on your movie? Big companies like Technicolor/MPC and Deluxe/Method/(all of former Ascent Media) are huge corporations that aren't in the creative business for any other reason then to make money. So if the management of

In all kinds of productions there seems to be a heavy reliance on the director. That's the standard I guess. Should not we, the vfx-artists, be the authority of our own domain? We know the pains of each new change and the cost penalty associated with it. Because we feel the direct effects when
