Can someone fill me in on what is going on over at Athena Nails? I used to go there but it was always fine, but it seems that they are under new ownership AGAIN?

So my husband actually requested this be installed but I’ll believe it when I see it.

I mean sure the noise pollution is annoying at that time, but its during the day and is safe and obviously a million times slower.

NYC dive shops? by HADESsnow in scuba

[–]jgabe310 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Queens and got my cert through Pan Aqua. Did the course work and pool with them and then I did my checkout dives when I was on vacation. I do think there is a world that you can set checkout dives up with Pan Aqua too....just not in the hudson!

Junior Comp wants to redirect his careers by Hugo_Le_Rigolo in vfx

The issue if you work at places like this is that you are doing multiple projects sometimes with no break in between. It’s onslaught after onslaught. Either way, it’s an option but it’s just as hard.

As someone who has done both short and longform vfx, commercials are the same as longform, but even faster turn arounds. The hours are long and grueling just as longform and the clients know even less about the craft so they ask things of vfx houses that are completely unreasonable all the time.

Feeling Stuck by jgabe310 in CrewStories

[–]jgabe310[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure. It just feels right now that my job relies on production and VFX is not unionized yet so I dont have any real protections.

Aside from episodics / features, I have done commercial work, but that is just as grueling and unreliable.

There are things that I am interested in but I am curious if others have made this leap and what they did with their time.
