ZephyrXeroMarvel VFX Workers Vote To Unionize In Historic Hollywood First
They deserve it
Yeah. I’ve heard so many horror stories from the VFX contractors now. Sound like a hellacious job to work currently
Would the contractors even be in the union, or would it just be the internal employees? A lot of the contract companies aren’t even in the US.
I think I read that this is mainly for the VFX people who need to be on-set (since they need to make sure that what is being shot will then be usable for compositing and adding VFX, etc. Those are the people who can’t be offshored. Can they be contractors? Maybe, but maybe the other unions for the other people on the set might refuse to work with non-union contractors.
So I’m not sure how this will affect the VFX contractors who do the VFX work that comes after principal photography.
