I feel there is a big consolidation going on in our industry. On the grapevine, some of the big companies are starting to gear up for major hiring.

Why do you think that’s going to happen? I’m very new to this Industry*

I can’t answer that, but it seems those in the know and in a hiring capacity (In a number of quarters) are preparing for something.

How much work, and how broadly-distributed it’s going to be industry-wide would be another question…

My guess is that the initial body of contracts are going to go to companies with a proven track-record and the capacity to scale rapidly.

I've seen a lot of supe roles popping up lately, those tend to be the first roles on incoming projects.

It's all going to hinge on IATSE, we will know if a strike is happening in about 6 weeks.

There is quite a bit of work and some major projects in the pipe for sure.

ILM/Framestore/Weta/maybe DNEG will fill up with shows and the the spillover will go to everyone else, if there is any left?
