‘Dune’ VFX Firm DNEG Asking Staff to Take 25% Pay Cuts as Strikes Wreak Havoc

VFX makes 0 sense to me as a business especially in todays over saturated content world. I have friends in DNEG were each movie has 100-200 people working on 20-25 minutes worth of footage for an ENTIRE fucking year. Thousands of people basically. And its a coin toss whether these movies are going to get the views.

Whenever I ask them how the fuck can such a business work, they just tell me erm we are just artists and coders. The job pays well so we dont ask the corporate robots too many questions about it.

And I keep pushing them to do so, cuz it doesnt make any sense given the costs involved unless it some elaborate walter white money laundering op.

Ask the CEO what hos compensation looks like first.

I bet trimming their package'll be easier than everyone else's.
