The ever expanding need for content worldwide is still far outpacing the limited gene pool of truly talented artists. Have some faith. No real large scale project wants some flimsy 3rd world approach to its investment. Big budgets are NOT going to a place with labor problems. <br /><br />All the top grossing films of the past 15 years have one common thread..stunning digital imagery. This kind of poor treatment will not go unnoticed and great artist will congregate with great companies. It's already happening.<br /><br />History is repeating itself, the rest of the talent got tired of this type of treatment decades ago.<br /><br /><br />Dave RandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-69529628811212800292009-09-15T16:15:38.945-07:002009-09-15T16:15:38.945-07:00Canada must have a sensational pro-business enviro...Canada must have a sensational pro-business environment when they give you tax credits for setting up there and then you don't even have to pay the workers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-3024679480273703052009-09-15T16:07:45.233-07:002009-09-15T16:07:45.233-07:00Oh god how we would love some protection, and some...Oh god how we would love some protection, and some paid overtime, but I'm afraid that it might kill our industry. We get a lot of our work not because of our talent (although a huge portion of animators in L.A. come from Canada) but because we are viewed as a cheaper alternative to getting stuff done in L.A. If we were unionized I would bet that companies would steer clear of getting stuff done in Canada, and just send it overseas instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
