James Hattin, creative director at VFX Legion comments: Were incredibly proud of the work completed by the worldwide VFX Legion team over recent months.
From set extensions and motion graphics to full-CG characters, intricate blood simulations, and full night-to-day transitions, our artists have collaborated from all across the globe to deliver high-end visuals for some of the years most exciting projects.
The lure of commodified work in certain locations certainly powers studios in the area to complete their work cheaply, but it also means setting up shop in cities such as Los Angeles, Vancouver and London. These are some of the most expensive cities in the world, and that puts an economic strain on the people that live there.
With established talent pools and industry hubs forming around these areas, some of the best artists and creators on the planet can often be left feeling burned out, unmotivated and underpaid. Staff that find themselves in such a position can struggle to work at their peak - productive creativity comes from satisfied staff, not those let down time and again by the administrative and economic machinery of the industry.
Members of Legion watched this situation unfold for a long time, both as outsiders looking in and as active participants of the very system. When it came to setting up Legion itself, we knew we wanted to do things differently.
We wanted access to the best talent, not just those confined to the tax break hotspots. And we wanted access to the people who were burned out from constantly moving from one city to the next at the whim of the studio - they've experienced multiple types of work, in multiple countries, in multiple studios. They know their stuff: there's so much value to that kind of person, but they're undertreated and massively underpaid by the local currencies.
We wanted to access this talent without expecting them to pick up and move yet again. We wanted to pay them well and let them live the life where and how they want to. And we wanted to give them regular work helping us build great content. We knew we could serve a global industry with an intimately collaborative team.
So thats what we do, says Hattin, and it works. Legion is based in Burbank, California, but our staff work remotely all over the world. We do everything we can to give them freedom. Everyone, in an ideal world, should have the ability to make their own hours. Our staff can pick up their kids from school, take their dog for a walk, and not have to spend 4 hours a day commuting to and from work. We're able to find people who want to get away from the incessant buzz of the city and live in the country. There's a lot of people with skill; a lot of people who want to do this. Our goal is to find them and empower them through today's remote workflows.
