Hi Mike,
just wondered,
do you ever do VFX work or just talk about it?
Dave
They started fxguide as and continue, today, as industry pros. Though I wonder if fxguide and phd have forced their careers into hobbies.
Jeff is still working full time in Los Angeles. Mike and I still do work on the box and on set for projects, but aren’t employed full time by facilities any more, because fxphd/fxguide do take time.
For instance, in Sydney Mike still does vfx and supervision — we’ve done several films that have been released and in various festivals around the world. in Chicago we rent space with “Hootenanny”, a boutique post house with 5 editors formed by some co-workers from Avenue Edit. They specialize mainly in TV commercials. I own and use a combo Smoke Advanced/Flame system, which is also used by Jim Annerino, one of the owners of Hootenanny.
With their constant articles and video and audio podcasts, these workaholics have made fxguide.com beat out even Cinefex as my favorite VFX source. Congrats Mike, John, Jeff, and everyone else from the past ten years.
