The studios are not hiring right now, and they're beginning to have second thoughts about what they're producing. Even Dreamworks.
I think since all the studios have entered into the business, everything is about 'get it done, get it cheaper, get it faster, make more money, and please the stockholders.'
When I think about how fat the studios have become, I laugh. You have 24 people in the layout department-we're fat with personnel. All the rules and attitudes change in that kind of environment.
The best studio exec that we worked with was Bill Mechanic at Fox, because he was a listener. He was pliable, flexible.
