From what I hear, yes. It's a very close knit and chummy industry. You need to make a lot of friends to survive in it, and really try not to piss anyone off. The guy you don't get on with on one job, may be boss/best friend to the one doing the next job. Get a few people to dislike you - and bye bye career. There was one guy I knew, really not sociable at all, and far too egotistical about his talents who has lose all hope for a SFX career with his behaviour. One person mentions hiring him, another notes that he was rude and unsociable and they turn to the next CV, dispite it not being as good.
Most hit a niche tho, get a job that suits - 'animatronic guy' 'sculptor' etc. But sometimes they do do their own thing. Scales of projects vary with the people involved.
I've got a group of CG animators/visual effects guys on side for my next project now! :o) Wish you could join in.
