VFXFairness is creating a special free Online Town Hall to talk about the decreasing standards for workers in the VFX industry, lead by Lee Stranahan who recently achieved some mainstream media fame for his ‘Open Letter to James Cameron: Fairness for Visual Effects Artists‘. The description for the event:
Effects driven films like Avatar are breaking box office records while visual effects facilities are forced to shut their doors and most VFX workers face long hours, no benefits and little credit.
It’s time to start talking about the state of the visual effects industry — where we are, how we got here and what can be done to move the industry forward in a way that's fair and thriving for artists, facilities and the studios.
We’ve assembled a world class panel with different perspectives and now we'd like to invite you to be part of the conversation. The discussion is open to everyone with an interest in the visual effects industry.
The event is being coordinated via EventBrite, so go ahead and sign up.
