The VFX industry have started speaking out and standing up for the fact that they do not get enough respect and appreciation. There have been many cuts in their industry even though they have been able to help produce successful blockbuster films with these cuts.
''Effects artists are responsible for the thousands of effects shots that appear in most of today’s blockbuster movies. Despite rocketing demand for visual effects in commercials, movies and games, creating the effects is getting increasingly unprofitable, industry executives say.''
''The bankruptcy of Rhythm & Hues is the second bankruptcy filing by a leading U.S. visual effects shop in the past six months, following Digital Domain Media Group Inc. DDMGQ 0.00% in September last year.''
The company, Rhythm & Hues are now in bankruptcy, however they ask that artists and other companies join together to improve trade and work in their areas so that in the future we all won't suffer like this again and it could help to improve later films.
These artists in favour of this protest are changing their Facebook profile picture to a green rectangle, this represents the green screen technology used for backgrounds.
This news is what I need to keeping up to date with to know how I can influence the industry and what I can bring to it, it also helps to know what companies want the best for their employees and their companies.
