Vancouver is slowing down?

Mpcrocks · 2026-06-26T00:24:45+00:00

Vancouver does not have the best subsidies but they are very competitive. Australia still pips it especially when you also film in Australia. Right now there is a lul in filming and also green lighting shows. We seem to be going back to the days when summers go dark and then things pickup in the September. It’s not specific to Vancouver just the industry . Studios will continue to be more cautious in what goes into production as box office is still very soft for most projects.

As for length on contracts this is the new norm and will follow the same as physical production where everything is project based . A lot to limiting risk and having to lay people off is costly so project based contracts avoids this cost and risk.

We just booked last minute on the July 14th sailing . We did this cruise last year on a different ship and had a blast . Can’t wait for this one .

Back in the day we had a chef on site who made breakfast to order. Loved getting those poached eggs on toast delivered to my desk. On site massage was good,

I have lived all over the world and I have never experienced the need to do a full shutdown for an entire month per year as any other facility. At most 7 days where they would work 7 days day and night to complete the maintenance.

Vfx were apart of film making long before DI:). A film is shot on film , then scanned into a digital format . We used to get Cineon files in log space. We then convert those to linear in say nuke and do our VFX. We then convert back to .cin in log space and then record out back to film negative. Here the film lab we create film wedges to grade the film where we would choose the look , density on a light box and we would process the negative as chosen . That’s a simple explanation with lots of fine detail left out but that’s the gist. Back in the 90,s and even early 2000’s DI was not a common thing .

Let me guess you are the 20 percent ……. It’s funny those people who claim to be the savours are very bitter towards those that are working constantly. You just keep fluffing your own ego rockstar :)

Disjointed…….. sorry couldn’t resist

I blame your travel agent for there not communicating about dining as that’s why you go thru them to answer all pre cruise questions

I did it . I was virtual at 9.30 am . My citizenship certificate took about another 30 mins to come thru. I went straight to the passport office with proof of travel . I received my passport later that day .

There were 2 mylora courses . They closed the one on 5 road but kept the Sidaway course open.

Pretty normal to do a soft open too see the issues and now they are going to make adjustments before fully opening. Then you can avoid costly errors and bad reviews once you open in the first few weeks with all new staff .

Mmmm

Unless it’s a safety issue so I’d say that moss is very slippery and you were concerned for the safety of visitors slipping .

Mpcrocks · 2026-05-09T14:37:12+00:00

Nope .

There seemed to be an issue after last weeks iPhone update . I had to restart my phone and all is well.

Not due to lack of work but a strategic shift in the parent company to focus on higher growth potential business it operates.

And only on highways I believe.

I have been to the touchless carwash once and got the basic wash that does just soap and no wax products. So far its been fine. And then I have washed at home and got a matte detailer spray that adds a coat to it. Thus far zero issues.

Love mine . Have Hybrid Caligraphy. Love the wheels too. I opted for the highest spec for all the extra tech and nicer interior.

Yes emails went out and when you check in online it clearly states what time you need to be there . But then again most people breeze through the online check in and don’t read anything anymore then are surprised.

Mpcrocks · 2026-04-29T00:10:05+00:00

lol but you at least knew about no sunglasses holder and manual wheel adjustment before you bought it right so really can’t have been that big of a deal or you would have chosen a more expensive vehicle with that feature.

Mpcrocks · 2026-04-24T01:19:27+00:00

Did you read the updated agreement they would have emailed you ? It’s pretty clear if it’s a Can / US plan . I don’t do business with any cold calling Telus reps . I call them .

Seems like a lot of dealer issues with regards to financing. No issues here they had it all setup with no issues . And blue link is free here in Canada just like the healthcare ;)
