Ignorance.

Since the news of Digital Domain's buyout by Wyndcrest Holdings is almost on the front of every vfx page, I thought I should talk about a link that's been floating around. It's actually from Ain't It Cool News, and I'm not going to link to it, because well, AICN isn't the top of my list of places to visit. It looks like someone decided to just puke up some HTML onto a website and decided to review some movies.

The topic of discussion is Bay's buyout, and the resulting forum discussion/flame war that's happening over there is ignorant at best. Some of it is just too funny. I, personally, am excited to be a part of this occasion! After being here for two months, there is definitely a good vibe here. Lots of insanely talented people, who know what they're doing. I also think the buyout is good because it will enable D2 Software to grow and compete with the other compositing packages out there. Let me tell you, it's a great package, and some of the features are pretty advanced over other, well-used softwares. In addition, regardless of who actually owns DD, there are now some senior management people that have similar visions, and this can only make the company grow and mature back to the top of the heap of places to be and work.
