On Monday, a group of more than 50 on-set employees filed a petition for an election to be represented by IATSE.

Good! Those movies are 90% VFX. It’s insane that the actors get paid many times more than the artists who make those movies possible.
Good for them. Considering the billions made with little to no practical effects or quality acting, they deserved the bulk of the revenue. Without the VFX those movies would’ve been trash
There have been so many selfies from actors working on marvel movies of them just literally working on green screens. There was one, it may have been Julia Louise Dryfus, I don’t remember exactly, but they were on a bridge in LA that was supposed to be Boston, and they literally made everything green screen except for the handrail. It’s nuts how much they’re putting on VFX artists and they absolutely should have a union
Yeah, almost everything in The Volume is VFX by it’s very nature.
Wasn’t it one of The Hobbit movies where Ian McKellen had to do all of his filming alone in front of a green screen, delivering his lines to a green stick, all by himself?
Yup, I can’t imagine what it’s like now being an actor. At least before you could act with someone else, play off each other. Now “Just act at this stick and do a good job”
Without the VFX those movies would’ve been trash
Are you saying that with VFX those movies aren’t trash?? 🤣
Relax, everybody! I’m joking! (I work in VFX).
So the writers are underpaid, the actors are underpaid, the VFX people are underpaid…
When they blow $200M making a movie, where does the money go?
Tom Cruise has to get to his next Scientology level SOMEHOW, stop thinking of only yourself
Those shell companies on the Caiman Islands set up to account away all the profits don’t pay for themselves, you know?
Investors, bigwigs and big name actors I would guess.
Hollywood accounting is almost as notorious as Louisiana politics for being crooked, labyrinthine, and nigh arcane.
Seriously, it’s a fucking crazy web of financial fuckery.
YES, pay the people who ACTUALLY pull the visual weight of 90% of movies nowadays.
Unionize for a better life!
Fantastic news! I sincerely hope that they earn what they darn well deserve!
I’m really surprised they weren’t already, even the set designers are unionized under IATSE
Fantastic! ✊
