I don't know the 3D scene in Hollywood. But skimming the credits at ends of blockbuster movies reveals that a lot of the 3D work is being done in eastern Europe or in the Far East. How much is really produced in higher-wage countries?
- Animats 10y agoThere's a lot of outsourcing. In 2013, Rhythm and Hues both won an Academy Award and went bankrupt. Simply providing a clipping path which separates the foreground from a background is widely outsourced. Effects movies use this heavily. It's manual green screen. Some outsourcing companies for this job: clippingpathindia.com offshoreclippingpath.com clippingpathasia.com This ought to be automated by now, but apparently the automated approaches are not good enough yet.
- gjolund 10y agoThere is a lot more to that story, and to say it was entirely due to outsourcing is a half truth. That being said the state of the industry in Hollywood, especially for animators and artists, is pretty dire.
