  "Today I had the heart-wrenching task of joining my co-founders Scott Stewart and Jonathan Rothbart in announcing that The Orphanage will be suspending operations indefinitely."

  Yeah read about this last week. Major suckage. They fuckin rocked, with Iron Man and all kinds of shit. Bad sign when one of the real heavy vfx companies closes down.

  Thta must be a tough one to swallow. Why did they stop getting work? Where can I see their latest work?

  If they did Iron Man...why cant tthey get more work? Makes no sense. They must have been running the buisiness inefficiently.

  Could be some inefficient business practices, defintely, who knows. But it could also be where budgets are being directed in Hollywood right now. Seems there were some big blockbuster spectacles int eh past couple years that didn't exactly bring in returns, despite the success of IronMan, Batman, Hulk, etc.

  Maybe feature films and entertainment weren't their bread and butter, could have been commercials. The way brands are slashing budgets it wouldn't surprise me. Say if your average post fx gig is 100k on a commercial, and suddenly 4 jobs you would have had in a couple months vanish, that pretty much seals it up for many businesses.

  sad to see such an awesome company go, I had many friends go threw those doors and say how cool everyone there was. Maybe on a brighter note I believe just the VFX side went not the commercial and animation side.
