I saw this today on the LinkedIn group 'Animation and Film Jobs'. It was posted by Shaun Neal who is a Managing Partner at 'New World Solutions' in New York, NY. I thought the ad was pretty funny but a bit scary at the same time.

$5 an hour for a skill that i'm sure some people have spent years at to get to the standard they are at now. Better pay working for McDonalds. Would you expect an electrician to work for that.

Shaun Neal • Sorry - what part do you think I am kidding about?
Shaun Neal • Below is a link to some recent animation playblasts from Maya for a cartoon series.

Shaun Neal • We employ post graduate professionals with 2 to 3 years of prior animation or graphic arts experience. Our salaries are very competitive - if they were not, we would not be able to retain any employees. Our office is located in downtown Makati and is SAS 70 and ISO 27002 certified yearly. We have many IT outsourcing clients, including major NY banks.

That explains why so many LA FX houses have closed and most of those left have opened offices overseas instead. I wonder what the Wal-Mart and KFC pay over there?

You can have it done right, cheap or fast. Pick two.

Advertising cheap and fast means the final work won't be right.

It always works that way and that's a good way to ruin a client relationship.
If a client only wants cheap and fast, fire them. They don't care about the quality of the work you put your name on. If you don't care about putting out quality work, shame on you.
This ad dilutes our profession. How much of that $5 per hour actually gets to your employees-- you know, the people actually doing the work-- after you take your markup as the shop owner?

I wouldn't pay $5 an hour for that shit animation!
Yeah seriously, that is not worth $5 hour and anyone that would want to pay that can clearly see the crap that they would get in return.
