The uk vfx biz is dominated by 4 huge companies. If you can get them onboard for a union that also comprises US companies, then you would really have something.

The vfx money that once covered my expensive toys and 'bachelor' existance, doesn't translate to raising a family. This is compounded when you attempt a healty reduction in hours to actually spend time with them!<br /><br />Thanks for taking your blog in this TK1099http://tk1099.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15503145.post-86040499216148460002011-03-01T19:50:04.220-08:002011-03-01T19:50:04.220-08:00Has anyone responded to Steve Wright?
