Notorious blogger and rights activist VFX Soldier (AKA Daniel Lay) joins us this week for an intense industry-based discussion. Over the course of our conversation, we discuss how chaotic and broken the visual effects industry has become over the past few years.

Daniel gives a great breakdown of the issues being faced all across the world, and proposes a few great, worthwhile solutions. We also speak a bit about the tricky situation of rates, and breaking into the industry as a student while retaining the respect and integrity you deserve.
