>>>MFE has never emphasized CGI special effects. As you say, it's very competitive and there's not much money in it.<<

There is lots of business in doing special effects for movies. Every
Action - SCI-fi movie has them. Look at the Alien in Alien Resurection. If MFE had as good CGI as they claim, could pull in more revenue despite the competition. So what if is a job as long as they
make money for the shareholders.

>>> Let ILM, Digital Domain and PDI spend all their time and computer resources on effects, that keeps them out from doing long-form CGI animation --a different beast altogether. <<<

It doesn't take as much time and resources to do special effects today as it was for the oringinal Star Wars. Take a look at Adbe's
After Effects SW.
