I am with Shirley on this one. (Or is that Shirlé - or the artist
formerly know as ... ). Anyway, I too, prefer the human interaction of
being at a facility with other people. Sure, clients can hover and
that gets annoying, but I want their input and feedback. Doing that
over the web doesn't cut it. At some point it's best to be face-to-
face. When I cut spots for agencies, I react as much to what is not
being said as to what is. But more so, I like the ability to bounce
ideas off of other folks working at the facility. Plus the general
community environment of a place. I work out of the house sometimes,
too, and it takes a lot of discipline to actually get started with WORK.
The general tone of this thread seems to be one of outsourcing as it
affects individual editors and small shops. I'm not so sure that's
what's happening. Take a look at the players. It's large post-house
conglomerates like Ascent and major studios. These are the folks that
have the ability to move post halfway around the world. This is for
several reasons - lower operating cost, lower salaries, direct cash
incentives and tax incentives. It's really about how these companies
operate and not whether they opt to use a small shop overseas instead
of a small shop locally. Small, indie producers aren't the ones
deciding to use shops elsewhere unless there is some creative reason
to do so that outweighs the cost and inconvenience.
