> I've never been involved in films, but from my own experience, the answer is a strong 'yes'

I worked in film visual effects for a decade and the answer is a strong 'no.'

In my case, we were in it for the enjoyment of the work and the craft. We didn't write the scripts, and the quality of the film wasn't our job. We were hired to make the best effects we could and if we delivered quality, we were happy. I'm sure a similar attitude works in other aspects of film (or any large collective enterprise, really).
