The worldwide visual effects and CGI business has been significantly impacted by the recent
transformation in the streaming media and entertainment sector. The global demand for visual
effects is growing at a rapid pace, as is the market size. Bangladesh's local streaming media and
entertainment business is booming, thanks to the recent development of 3G and broadband
internet access. India and Taiwan are the most popular outsourcing destinations for Hollywood
post production work in the worldwide VFX business.
The entertainment industry has grown dramatically in recent years, to the point that it now
accounts for 2.1 trillion dollars in revenue. The visual effects sector is worth 26.64 billion
dollars, whereas the computer graphics industry is worth 16.64 billion dollars. Many emerging
nations have already established a high-quality visual effects and computer graphics industry,
which has aided their economic progress. These nations can develop high-quality visual effects
and computer graphics at a reasonable cost because of their low labor expenses.
This study is aimed to determine how we might use Bangladeshi labor force with very
rudimentary computer skills to work in the global visual effects industry, allowing us to compete
with neighboring and other Asian nations. Also, how industry veterans have succeeded in this
field while working from Bangladesh, as well as the pitfalls and remedies.
