I would add in one thing... for the love of Adobe, NEVER EVER put footage of a tutorial you followed from a website like VideoCopilot, Ae.tuts or graymachine into your reel and then claim it was yours. When in doubt, leave it out. It shows off neith…

Hey, super cool stuff! I have a question though, I always try to do this kind of thing as well on my free time. I figure you designed most of it in Photoshop or Illustrator yes? But, whenever I do that, my images/vectors always come out pixelated a…

10 Tips on applying to a mograph job - Repost from Mograph

This is a repost from a thread over at mograph.net. Some good stuff listed here, so I thought I'd share:

1- the link to your reel / portfolio should be one of the first things
that is seen on your cover letter.

2- make sure your link works.

3- in your cover letter, be brief, be to the point, and for the love of
all things holy do not gush about what a perf… Continue

Forum Thoughts?

I didn't want to turn TME into yet one more forum for the motion community... But, I am curious as to how others feel about this. I was thinking some things such as: Market Place, Looking for freelance/available for freelance, mayyyyybe some tech support forums.

What do you think?

What's everyone working on?

Simple enough... talk about what you are doing right now!!!

Freelancers - Did you increase your rate with the new year?

I am curious if any of you had to decided to move your rate up this coming year? If not... why not?

The current rate of inflation is pretty low for 2009 in the US, but still at about .5%. Also, I've found my rate stagnant for the last year, due for a rise with more work coming in. I've not announced any official rate hike, but I'm probably going to give myself a 10% increase.

I'd be curious what others are doing.

However, chances are it will show up on some list as a most underrated game of 2009. IGN gave it a 9.5. So much fun. Oh and by the way. I think I saw Ozzy Osbourne this morning.

Rock on brother!

P.S. dont you think it is ODD that red giant is releasing knoll 3D flare beta all of a sudden? I guess the great thing about competition (optical flares) is that it makes the product providers make a better product. That said. It is too bad Adobe laid off a bunch of people. I hope to hear better news from them next month.
