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?"

Red Shoe you hit the nail right on the head!
You would roll on the floor laughing if you knew who IM'ed me from a popular FX shop a couple of weeks ago whining about needing work!
It used to be heartbreaking to see these people get the boot after years of eating high on the hog.
I guess the real world has suddenly jumped up and bitten them in the ass.
For you guys who don't work in mainstream entertainment like tv, movies, literature you would be surprised at how scummy and criminal these businesses are. You're constantly surrounded by some asshat retard or crook or their flunkies.
With all the terrorist shit goin' on and Bush having successfully turned the rest of the world into the state of Israel you can't trust shit nowadays. It's a literally come to a survival situation of scary proportions.
