That trend started long ago John. I think every year we see the continued evolution, or de-evolution of our industry. I can tell you that S.FL rates have been declining for years and many of us have adapted to a per project rather than per hour basis. In my case, often where per hr comes into play is on revisions, which are always unpredictable. In the end, especially these days, clients could less what we work on, but damn if that attitude doesn't crossover to not caring what they spend for quality work ;0).

One of the big things I'm coming to NAB research is the whole cloud thing. This is going to have a huge impact on our industry... Quite possibly for the bad. I can already hear clients saying, oh but finishing in the US is to expensive... We'll continue doing creative editorial w/you but finish, exf, supers, composites, etc. in India.

The fun never ends in our biz eh gents.
