I’m currently doing some research into the current state of the vfx industry in the UK, and hopefully some of the members here are working in the industry and can give me some answers.
So what is the state of the industry?
Are people hiring and expanding or are people still a bit cautios with the economic situation?
Is there an increase in smaller specialists companies?
Is the UK industry getting enough work from outside the UK?
Are the studios booked years in advance? Or is more and more hollywood work being outsourced to india and asia?
Is it expected that the artist do more work in less time now than before?
Do you have any thoughts on the future of the industry in UK?
Hopefully this will start a good discussion.. Thanks for your time. Looking forward to youre answers..
can anyone explain this situation?
thanks a lot and sorry for my english
It’s been a while since I posted here. It is nice to see some familiar names around, as well as lots of newer members!
A bit of back story.. I’ve been an online editor (VFX and design for commercials with clients sitting behind me) for the past 5 years in Sydney. I’m feeling like a change of scenery and would love to get a year in abroad before my wife and I get serious about making babies. Vancouver works well for both our careers, plus it has the added bonus of being a city we’ve always wanted to visit. (We LOVED Seattle so if its anything like it I’m sure we’d have a great time there.) I’ve just got a few questions about the industry I’m hoping I can oblige the forum with.
Thanks for reading. I’d love to hear from anyone with any experience on the ground in Vancouver. I’ve had secure full time salaried jobs my whole working life, so uprooting everything for an uncertain year certainly seems very daunting!
“AMC wanted us to create an authentic film fest vibe,” Jason Salo, BIGSMACK’s Sr. Art Director, says. “The films they’re featuring are well thought out and paired together in the way a good film festival would. We wanted to get that across in our design.”
To affect that vibe Salo and the BIGSMACK creative team took over an old vacant theater in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, that has been shuttered since the late 1980s.
Inside those musty surroundings BIGSMACK captured an array of surreal perspectives and haunting POV’s, such as the dramatic shot seen in the:10 open of a gothic wall complete with pillars as seen from the POV of someone (a victim perhaps?) looking up from the floor.
That live action was composited with numerous 2D and 3D animated elements, most notable is 3D sinister-looking marquee complete with eerily flickering lights and a doorway that vaguely resembles a face.
“We were going for dark, spooky feel, and because of that we spent a lot time perfecting the lighting,” Salo notes. “They also had a gorgeous old velvet curtain that we put to good use. The combination of live action, design and treatments conceptually set the perfect tone for Fearfest and communicated the idea that this is indeed a film festival.”
