Glitz Visuals explains that 70% of what they\u2019ve worked on has been for games released on PS5 but that most of the staff didn\u2019t have a way to play the games they were involved with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To Eguchi, an artist seeing their name in the credits of a game or movie is a priceless experience. They want their employees to treasure finding their names in the credits and decided to give everyone a PS5 so they could do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Eguchi says that isn\u2019t the only reason. Looking back on the company\u2019s first year since it was founded in April of 2022, the small company also wanted to express gratitude to employees who chose to work there with more than just words.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1350\" height=\"664\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1350px) 100vw, 1350px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-600x295.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-380x187.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-768x378.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-150x74.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-696x342.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-1068x525.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-854x420.jpg 854w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-324x160.jpg 324w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-001-533x261.jpg 533w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When we asked how they went about providing the consoles, it sounded like a system where the company lends them out. If an employee leaves within 3 years, they ask that the console be returned. Employees that stick around more long term do not have to return their consoles. There aren\u2019t really any restrictions on how employees use their consoles, and those who already owned a PS5 were given Amazon gift cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glitz Visuals has 6 full-time employees and around 15 total staff members when including independent contractors and interns. While it\u2019s certainly a small company, gifting everyone a PS5 would come out to be a big expense. Still, Eguchi says it\u2019s worth it if the staff are happy.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230326-241919-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Glitz Visuals provides other perks as well such as letting staff members see one movie a month for free and covering half of meal expenses for remote employees. Additionally, they provide up to 50,000 yen (roughly $380) for employees working on their own independent productions. While the company hasn\u2019t been around for long, they already offer quite a variety of benefits for their employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the entertainment industry continues to grow, creators are in demand in a variety of fields.
