“We are looking at getting 3D animation jobs done in India. These projects are initially planned to revolve around cartoon series for the TV, direct to video feature films and gaming. Companies here with which one has already interacted on this score are Maya Entertainment, UTV, Crest, Prana West and FX Factory,” Samir Hoon, ILM’s associate visual effects supervisor, told The Economic Times.
I don't think this is being "eliteist or greedy" with today's economy it would be nice for all of us to have a job....
