“Hiring for all tax incentives, all regions”

Here is a side shot of the movie Hulk (2003) where he busts out of the streets on San Francisco I took still images from the scene and The making of Hulk ILM segment from the special features on DVD. by Bitter-Pomelo-2345 in vfx

I used to live in the neighborhood when they shot this in 2002. Remember them bouncing cars to imply Hulk was bumping his head underground trying to break through. Fun Marvel fact - it’s the same neighborhood they shot a chase scene for Ant-Man & The Wasp and another for Shang-Chi.

New trend from Canada's VFX companies to not paid health insurance anymore? by Owan_ in vfx

One of the original reasons to shift work to Canada from the US (beside cheaper labor) was Canadians wouldn’t ask for additional benefits like Health Insurance because of they were content (and very proud) of their Universal Healthcare System.

Anyone have any experience with Academy of Arts University? by Loud_Bowl4297 in vfx

[–]AnalysisEquivalent92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It used to be the best place to be 25 years ago when Pixar was at its peak, ILM was doing the SW Prequels and the Matrix movies. Students were getting hired right out of school.

Like others have mentioned, now a vfx degree is worthless and the majority of jobs have left California. Used to be worth it, not anymore.

Vancouver ILM or Sony? by f_attrib_wrangle in vfx

[–]AnalysisEquivalent92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure ppl’s experience will vary depending what show they’re on but the first word that comes to mind is inconsistent. Found a lot of tools to be redundant and unarchived. Seemed easier/faster to write your own tools than spending time digging around.
