The Animation Guild Local 839 has published a survey of salaries in the animation industry and I’ve broken out some of the data that pertains to VFX folks. The numbers in the survey are median weekly rates based on union jobs but the numbers are still interesting.
In other words modelers are at the low end of the scale bringing in about $82k per year and supes are hovering close to $130k per year down about 20% from ‘07. The string of blockbuster VFX flicks seems to be keeping demand for artists high enough to meet supply. Just remember this is a boom and bust biz folks so fill up those 401ks while ya can.

Uh, What’s that in Rupees?
I think one important thing to take from this is that everyone should stay away from Unions. These rates are not what I’ve been seeing lately. They’re actually lower.
PA rates per week: 5 tacos and some pre-scratched lotto tickets.
