Scatterlight Studios Reviews

need to add some extra employee benefits to motivate them

Where to begin? It's not often in life (at least not for me) that you run into someone like Chris Billig and or Scatterlight Studios - (They're one in the same). At first he comes off as a nice guy. An idea man. Someone who seems to want the best for everyone. However, as time goes on you really begin to understand how accurate all of the other 1 star reviews are. It's really sad to watch this guy just destroy what could have been a decent studio. All because he can't see past his own ego. Where he once did business out of a shiny shared office space on Sunset Blvd. has turned as of late into a shell of a company he's been operating out of his house. Chris Billig (Sole Owner) owes money all over town. He's actively being sued by several individuals through either Small Claims or the Dept. of Labor. Advice; DO NOT WORK FOR THIS GUY. IF you do however, for some bewildering reason make darn sure you draw up your own ironclad contract that everyone signs. Save ALL correspondence, get confirmation for ALL submitted invoices from both Chris and his sidekick accountant prior to continuing work and DO NOT accept payment through Bill.com (an intermediary between Bankcorp and you). Chris will claim it's a faster way of processing invoices when in fact it's just a tool for him to delay. He pays artists from a bank based out of the state of Delaware (Bankcorp). That should tell you something folks. Seriously though, why take the risk of working for someone like this when there are a ton of other studios who actually pay their artists on time and do great work.
