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

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.

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.

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.

Oh, I know, just putting a 'new' interview up. Probably just the same stuff, though.

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.
