Happy to see Hugo again

Love walking through memory lane, Im a rando collectamaniac too, most of what I keep is for nostalgic reasons where the item itself is not as important as the memory and life event it triggers.

Dave, let me tell you that your channel was this year one of my most favourite on KZbin.

[@cinodrome]

Thank you! Great to hear.

[@patrickhennessy510]

Thankyou Dave for the context! It was great to see Hugo again. I hope you and your family have a safe and merry Christmas and a happy new year! Please give Hugo some pets for me.😊

Cool walk through! Thanks for the complete-ish breakdown.

[@BearbearbearbearbearbearRarrrr]

Context is king.

[@charding4000]

Hey Dave, thanks for the video. I was hoping for more stories about your artifacts. I hope you and yours have a great holiday, loved seeing Hugo again!

Also watching last weeks episode my daughter was in the room and saw the Jack skellington head cast and shouted “JACK!” So you are speaking to multiple generations.

[@cinodrome]

Love it. That movie has proven to have staying power.

Now that ILM has no more model shop, had I been hired in 1997 to work on Episode 1, what would have been the weekly pay at a place like that? Was it salary? Hourly? Per Bigiture?

[@cinodrome]

Good question - and damn hard to remember. It was union. Local 16. Salary. Great health plan. I’m going to guess that entry salary was well under $100,000, but the beauty of the union structure was that when I began doing supervisory work, I was immediately compensated for the role, vs the ol’ “do the job for a long time and then get the title and pay” trick. My first role as supervisor was on Transformers 1 and I remember being stunned that my paycheck practically doubled without any discussion.

@@cinodrome I remember in 1990 when I graduated HS that Roy Rogers in NJ was hiring for $16/hr. It's now 2024 and they are hiring for $14/hr, 34 years later. For that reason I wondered what the pay was as Adam Savage often talks about how low the pay was in the early days as a freelancer but how quickly he could charge more with a Star Wars or ILM resume Credit. It just blows my mind how that entire commercial effects industry vaporized so fast.

@@ThatVideoGuyTom That Roy Rogers stat is horrific, and yes, while all industries evolve more dramatically than anyone expects, the VFX world shifts at hyper speeds.
