A class on liberal propaganda in Hollywood , no doubt.

This week is about fan films/fan creations. My classmates are apparently really into into Pink Five. Dorkman and Ryan also made appearances.

Jim's response also works.

So what are everyone's thoughts about Gunn going green in support of artists?

That's... um... wow, okay.

This is at a real college?   As opposed to a cardboard sign taped to an underpass that says "Colege" or something?

There was a picture of you in one of my classes once too, from Starship Troopers. I went all crazy and stuff.

I suppose you'll have to decide that for yourself.

Swarthmore is fairly prestigious from what I've heard.

It's basically the Yale of Swarthmore, PA.

Re: #54 - Is the VFX industry imploding?

When I was a sophomore, I planned to go to Swarthmore.

Long story short: I founded The Mamas and the Papas instead.

That's what we say about Ball State: "The Yale of Muncie, IN."

Embry-Riddle likes to call itself (or claim other people call it) the Harvard of the Skies.

One of my professors jokes that Harvard calls itself the Embry-Riddle of the Ground.

Well, that news may help the workers decide whether they're on the side of management or labor, which would be a good start...

Re: #54 - Is the VFX industry imploding?

Why anyone would take management's side is beyond me.

Re: #54 - Is the VFX industry imploding?

Know what really pisses me off? I bet the legal entity that did Life of Pi was R&H: Tiwan TO BEGIN WITH. They were safe from fees and creditors that way. So bankrupt the US arm while acting like a holding company.

Management has NEVER been on the artist's side. If they were they never would have engaged in such low ball bids from jumpstreet with the intention of passing the cost down to the artists.

Re: #54 - Is the VFX industry imploding?

It's always been interesting, in the comic book industry, when artists band together to form an "artist friendly" publishing company. It never takes long for the lesson of "Animal Farm" to prove true, and the next batch of artists to come in to be treated much as they are at other places.

Re: #54 - Is the VFX industry imploding?

Right, addressing the Tiwan issue, and understand that this is third hand info but ... from what I have heard from folks at R&H, the Tiwan studio has been a thing that has been in the works for a year or so, the construction finals shortly, but the staff has all be trained at some of their other indan facilities, and such.

So this isn't as much news, as getting info out as "were not as bad off as people thought" to make investors more likely to put money into the studio.

And a more direct reply, specifically to R&H, from when I was there, and all that I have heard since, has always been good to its people, to a level that I haven't seen ANYWHERE else in the industry, so take that for what you will, people in Management can be decent.

If that's an example of the artistic ability of the VFX guy who created it, I think I've found his problem.
