Method officially retiring
It’s been news that Framestore bought method years ago but as of Monday afternoon, we (the staff) were notified Method is retiring. Based on convos and meeting participants, 70% of staff was laid off, the remaining VFX & Design teams absorbed by Framestore and what was left of Finishing being added to a ‘CO3 Finishing Team’.
A lot of really amazing and talented people have been let go. No surprise as this is how the industry has been moving.
I’m pretty much done with pursuing VFX/post as a career. Wishing the best for everyone sticking it out. To better and brighter futures.
