The industry only has 6 customers (the studios) who often negotiate as a single entity (the MPAA) and who are big fans of subsidies, so for a a VFX studio to pursue something by themselves would essentially blacklist them and put them out of business. The brilliance of this plan is that it's being organised by the workers whose lives are being affected.
- MWil 13y agoBut this plan wasn't organized by workers, it was done by one blogger. He may be donating this strategy to any collection of workers willing to make use of it but he paid the lawyers and they only shared it with him.
- mprovost 13y agoHe crowdfunded the money to pay the lawyers to look into it, quite a few people in the industry donated, it wasn't all his money. He published the lawyers' findings on his blog. As is often the case, there is one person who is leading the charge and acting as spokesperson, but there are a lot of people involved in this. See how many show up for the march outside the Oscars.
- MWil 13y agoah, now that sounds like a much better situation. glad to hear it.
