    Why are so many VFX artists out of work at the moment? And why are VFX studios going bankrupt left and right?

    In this episode I go into the history of the industry to better illustrate the landscape and try to explain why we are where we are today.

    11. Struggles!

    I know many of you are struggling at the moment. In this more personal, less scripted episode I'm sharing what I'm struggling with at the moment. My hope is that it can help you feel a bit less alone and maybe make it a little easier to reach out for support.

    Take care out there! You are not alone! 💓

    10. Cristian Spagnuolo - The state of the industry, AI, "NO CGI" and why modern movies suck!
    Apr 28 2024

    Cristian is a CG and VFX supervisor with 20 years of experience in film and commercials with titles like Star Trek Discovery, Cats, Noelle and X-men Dark Phoenix on his CV. He is also a trainer and mentor at PXL Mentor with a passion for helping artists make it in VFX.

    This interview is all about the state of the industry. We talk about what brought us here, what we might expect of the future, the rise of AI, what’s up with the crappy movies these days, and much more. And as always we try to keep it positive and actionable with advice for students getting into the industry, thoughts on how to leverage AI instead of letting it take your job, and maybe even spotting a slowing down of the NO CGI trend!

Interesting hearing interviews with people in the industry however I would like if there was a slightly increased upload schedule.
I do know that it is a busy time in the industry however.

Rare but good info
