Soldier On.
VFX Soldier 
Please post on youtube
With the exception of maybe one person tweeting that they had a good time, looks like it fizzled without much else to say.
This is a terrible sign that there are not enough soldiers.
I pay a quick visit each day some web pages and websites to read articles,
except this web site offers feature based articles.
Yikes. This is a sign that NYC is napping. They didn’t even have the strength in numbers to report back here with any summary…even basic recap. Not a good sign.
I thought NY’rs were tough. Looks like they will get rolled over on the bellies and ass raped. With high costs of living and terrible conditions, NY won’t be the place for VFX.
I had no idea this was happening.. I peeked onto this site after the event already occurred, and was pissed I missed it! Sadly, this must of not gotten advertised enough. The majority of work here is for commercials and getting to a meeting at 630 is a challenge on its own. There’s always some sort of imaginary deadline to make. Everyone is a zombie- too burnt out to do anything other than eatting dinner before they pass out to do it all over again.
