It is not a spill operation. Nor is it just to reduce salaries at ILM - which is one of the few union shops in the business. R&H India works as an extension of the LA office - hence the team in India are valid and seamless team members of the LA operation. SPI has offices outside LA but in the USA which is interesting. The unpaid workers were at Meteor working on Journey To The Center Of The Earth Movie 3Din Canada - in Montreal. Best picture is the award for the Producer - as the Director wins for best Director. There is no best Producer category. The reality is that if the film was 'produced' in part by the director - they would get joint producer credit. Look at District 9 - the producers role was key in getting that made, but Jackson in no way directed. (BTW weta was not the main effects house on District 9 - Image Engine, The Embassy Visual Effects, Zoic Studios and Goldtooth Creative also all did a lot of shots - Weta did the ship but not the character work) Also thanks for the shout out on our visual effects podcast - I assume it was our vfxshow- as I think you quoted me :-) :-) thanks for the podcast Mike PS - I disagree respectfully - UP is a masterpiece :-) ILM singapore does animation – so for example the StarWars Cartoon series.
