Why Motion Designers need to have solidarity with the #VFXProtest

As someone who doesn’t work in the VFX (Film) industry its been hard to follow the #VFXProtest movement. You read one blog and people are arguing over what the problems are. Another blog may feature exchanges over what the solution is or should be (if there is a solution at all).

Either way I do see an overlap in problems within many different industries. Whether that’s in advertising or even game development. Not to mention most of us in “motion design” probably know a few people in LA fighting for their futures right now.

I ran across this post by Bran Dougherty-Johnson on twitter and decided to share it HERE.

For more background on whats going on in the vfx industry read the Wired.com article on it. They did a great job of covering every angle on this and linking to many different sources related to the story.

1. Please describe the initial brief.
