	While old companies may die out, the people invloved do not.  There
are several new companies, many of them in Los Angeles, that have been
formed from people that worked at these dead companies. (I am one such
person myself.) .   While at the moment most of them are smaller and have
lesser assets, these companies are producing computer animation that is
comparable to what the 'majors' did, and with much smaller overhead.  These
companies will in short time be producing new computer special effects that
are unprecedented.  Companies such as Rhythm & Hues, Metro Light, and
Whitney Demos Productions have 80 percent of their staff filled with former
employees of Digital Productions, Robert Abel & Associates, Omnibus Computer
Graphics, and Cranston Csuri.
