Ideally more than one locked specialty for hireability in other fields. Sorry to hear about the situation, but honestly there is a ton of work out there, if you expand your view beyond film. What's your full skillset? What else can you do besides comp? There are much better options for quality of living and creative freedom/input. There is plenty of exciting work that is not film, film is more cog-in the wheel work and tends to be the least creative as an individual.people just get sucked up into the "hype" of it being film a bit much.

In five years… it’s going to be far far worse and is going to expand into other specialties that people in these subs are currently saying won’t be possible. And I hate it.Ī lot of the tools that people are using to do this barely existed a couple of years ago and were a total joke this time one year ago. While I’m writing the pitch and assembling the deck, I can have one staff designer who doesn’t draw do something that’s like 65 or 70% as impressive as what 2 or 3 specialized artists could do, but they can do it in a small fraction of the time for no additional costs. I know a lot of people who have pitched on new work using AI generated concept art instead of booking freelance designers for a week to create that stuff.
