    What blows my mind is that they weren’t AITSE before??

    Like so many positions in film are union, crazy that these key people were in the blind-spot

      VFX unionization has been suppressed for decades through a consistent level of FUD and a constant race to the bottom-style system that has been fully supported, encouraged and enforced by the big studio clients.

      It’s barely even worth linking that “life after pi” docu-short about Rhythm&Hues at this point, as the same thing has happened again and again since then.

      It would be nice if this marks some kind of sea change, but I wouldn’t hold my breath just yet.
