I see so many similarities with the freelance web/mobile developer space. And having run a small dev shop (3-6 people) for 7 years I agree that the _only_ way forward is to hold your nerve, fire the shitty clients and only ever do work you can feel proud of. Yes, there will be tens of thousands of people on (the VFX equivalent of) upwork who charge 1/3 your price, and clients will put immense pressure on you because of it. But if you’re know for honesty and quality, the work will come.
