Decisions

   So last I left you I had said I decided to not apply for jobs in LA in order to stay in Vancouver long enough to shoot a short for someone.  After speaking to my producer friend, Phil, he told me to just apply for jobs in LA and if I get a job in LA then we can work something out with the producer of the short (Gabriel). Most likely I'd fly back on the days we do auditions and shoot.  This sounds like a great idea to me. Especially since I will be running out of money quite soon if I don't find a way to get more income.
    So without a job, I give myself two more months in Vancouver.  I really want a job in LA.  I might not find a job in a while though. Right now it's slow season when it comes to work. Companies will begin ramping up probably around April. 
    Also, Rhythm & Hues (one of the oldest and largest VFX houses) is going under. Not good.  This week they already laid off around 200 people in LA and more will come by the end of the week.  People in Vancouver are also going to be let go quite soon.  So there's now a lot more people I'd be competing with for a job and also way less jobs to choose from.  It's going to be a tough season.
