Nice read Greg. I felt the same way when I worked in FX. For years as FX artists we had to learn and adapt new methods of creating FX. Back in the 20's it was just straight eyeliner and powder, by the time I started, we had incorporated makeup, mechanics, fabrication and engineering into the FX shops. There were several seperate departments per shop. And when computers came along and CGI was born, all the FX shops turned their nose up at the thought of using computers for FX.

Now... years later, all but a few shops have closed down. All my friends moved back to their hometowns. I only told a few people what I do now, and the response I get is the same response you get.. "Can you get me a job in porn?" or " Can you show me how to start a site?"
