this article is called "Amid Oscars, Fanfare, Visual Effect Industry Faces Difficult Times". its about an industry thats going downhill. in this business they helped hollywood make 10.8 billion last year. now many of the studios that create those effects are barley standing, and heres why. many countries pay millions to subsidize their family industry. those subsidize are just one of the many complex issues facing the industry. its also one of the few non-union trades in the movie industry. these studios are accepting work at insanely low costs and not making a profit. they are barely breaking even to complete work for the movies. there are a lot of studios filling for bankruptcy and artist are loosing their jobs. in some cases, not being paid for the work and hours they already put in.
in my opinion, i thought this article was very boring and could have used a lot more easy to understand information. you really had to think about where this was going. the topic should come easy and clear and this article did not do that for me.
