I think I just answered this to Perry - text communication just seems to be a natural for reinforcing confirmation biases. I am simplifying and you are simplifying in order to communicate using this method, but we are not understanding each other - which is why, personally, I prefer to talk about things.

By you mean AD and ofc it is just rhetorical...but even in that case isn;t replacing 10 years long experineced people with less experineced only short time transition period training on on software such as complex as 3d app already reduction in resources? 10 seniors != 10 juniors On Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 7:25 PM, Perry Harovas <perryharo...@gmail.com<mailto:perryharo...@gmail.com>> wrote: OK, thank you for clearing that up, Maurice. So you are saying that moving Softimage to the Singapore team was a direct lateral move, not an increase but also not a decrease, in the team that was previously on Softimage (apart from being different people, of course)? So (for argument sake) if you had 10 people when Softimage was in-house, you had 10 people when it was moved to Singapore? I just want to make sure I totally understand you, not trying to trap you or anything.

I was talking about increasing/decreasing resources on the project not about the software itself. Just want to make sure that was clear. If you have a team of 10, maintaining resources would keep it at current levels. Investing 10% would be increasing it to 11.

Softimage wasn't an area we were actively investing more resources in, it was something that we had outsourced to Singapore and was in a continue-to-maintain mode. But it wasn't something we were thinking of end-of-lifing until that strategic planning process." -- Perry Harovas Animation and Visual Effects http://www.TheAfterImage.com<http://www.theafterimage.com/> -25 Years Experience -Member of the Visual Effects Society (VES)
