Support our vfx industry artists before they’re forced to find other work.
the movie business managed for many many years before computers were involved
just sayin’
Yeah but that doesn’t mean the people who lost jobs because of studios not being taken care of or funded aren’t just as important. Hell Avatar wouldn’t have been possi—-okay, bad example. Either way, this includes matte painters who are responsible for background work. All of that. Hell, I know people who’ve done matte painting for various movies. That’s their job at risk.
put it this way:
star wars, harry potter, star trek… twilight, (blue) avatar, (bad) avatar… end of the word, the day after tomorrow, planet of the apes… all these movies (AND MORE!) would not be nearly as good w/o vfx artists…
And the film industry managed without sound and color, but that doesn’t mean we should ditch either. Just because the film industry “managed” before the advent of VFX, CGI, and whatnot doesn’t mean that those things or the artists who make use of them are any less important or vital than the director, the sound people, actors, etc.
Basically, give them the respect and pay they deserve.
SIGNAL BOOST! This is just not okay.
