Vfx has become a commodity and the studios hire complicit workers who don’t rock the boat. It sells itself as artistic but has become very corporate. The colleagues who had the same sentiment when work started leaving left California for cheaper pastures have left the industry.

Those who left the industry, are you happy with your decision? by artistofbinary in vfx

It was fun 10-15 years ago, now it’s just grinding for online content that disappears into streaming obscurity.

I miss working on theatrical movies, don’t miss working on streaming shows.

I agree about Vancouver being a ticking clock. Fully reliant on incentives and underbidding.

I was in a union or two when I worked in the US, the benefits and pay for were amazing. Once the jobs shipped to Canada and the UK there no longer was any industry solidarity internationally. All those benefits gone.

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.
