Hi Phil, I'm a fellow bay area artist in the vfx industry. While other companies gave expanded into Canada and only retaining a tiny bit of work stateside, I'm glad that you do what you can to keep your studio around. I have worked with artists who are currently employed there and they only have great things to say about their experience. Hopefully I can join the ranks one day.

My question is: Did you hide any fun things in your AT-AT sequences the same way a shoe and potato were used as asteroids in Empire?

I work for an animation studio where some colleagues have similar indie game aspirations. It's like, "here's a form, just tell us you're working on the side and we'll figure something out as long as you're not using any of the studio equipment for it."

Hey Phil!

Do you have any great ideas how to get vfx jobs back up in the bay area?

Sincerely, A semi-employed vfx artist/long-time ilm fanboy

Nuke or After Effects? Also, I've heard that another streaming service uses 4k plates for work on a consistent basis. For film, 2k is still the norm (IMAX shots being the exception). Do you feel like a switch to 4k as a standard for the industry will happen soon?
