A) beer

B) it's a song by Ramona Falls, a side project of one of the band members from Menomena. The credits are on the end slate.

Thanks for the kind words

Oh lordy, is it that time again.. so here's my latest reel. It's only TVC work at this point - maybe I'll get some film shots on reels in future years if I ever manage to do some film work. It's also...

Shh, it'll be our little secret.. competitive edge, baby, competitive edge..

How about an SGI or TGA sequence with RLE compression ticked? Animation will do similar, and everybody loves the Animation.

I think ATI have the grunt for dollar edge at the moment but don't quote me on that.

Flint is gone too, leaving just Flame and Smoke.

Your processor won't be affected by the new components. The e7300 will perform just fine. Good bloody luck learning all those programs - I only know two of them well.

Some random thoughts:

Premiere Pro for me too. Its a stunningly powerful compositing package that blows me away every time I use it.

Once, just for fun, I rebuilt LOTR using Premiere Pro alone. I changed all the...

This is OTT and a bit of a rant, but there's two things that just don't sit right with me about the anti-outsourcing debate.

Firstly, we in the West are quick to bemoan the drain of jobs overseas...

That's the case in all but the most tightly controlled industries. In Australia for example, there are more students currently studying law in university than there are lawyers working in the field....

1.23% I jest.

Relax, there won't be any shortage of vfx work anytime soon.

That's an excellent point.. Watch a movie on an LCD with the 100/120Hz mode turned on to get a rough idea of what Cameron is talking about. It's freaking hideous. Perhaps over decades we can retrain...

No of course not, nepotism and networking are the recruitment lifeblood of most small companies. I just thought it was something to be mindful of when trying to break into the industry.




.....

It's a sad reality of our industry that most jobs go to family and friends of friends without so much as a whisper in the regular job seeking domains. Only the larger companies have the scale to...

Your reel is really tight.. considered relocating to Sydney? Eye Candy do so amazing work but beyond them there's not too much comping action going down in the C-hole is there?

Whoah, really? I've never heard anything like that in Australia. I can't think of an industry where that particular piece of paper would have less practical relevance. (well, a few come to mind but I...

Uh, this is kind of stating the obvious but I'm not sure fishing for answers on a forum is the best (ie. most efficient and accurate) way to go about researching a paper.

How about this for an...

The bottom dollar reality certainly will scare off all but the most bankable projects. I can't see that being too much of a hinderance for James Cameron though.

I'm happy to predict it'll have a...

2 quick clarifications.. what do you mean by GOOD, and which country are you living in?

I'm making a very comfortable living working as an online operator, but my salary is far eclipsed by...

Greetings all,

It's been a while since I posted here. It is nice to see some familiar names around, as well as lots of newer members!

A bit of back story.. I've been an online editor (VFX and...

lol... no, it would make you a bargain

It took me a little while to get into it but by the end I was really hooked. It was very moving and engaging - something I don't often find in short films. So fantastic work building that sort of...

Its pretty rare but I've seen it done before. I would recommend testing to see if you can get away with the resize. Its not ideal. Obviously if you've got $x in the budget and need $xx to hire in a...

Good advice. If its a F/T position make damn sure you get some clause in the contract about incremental rises (ie. performance evaluations and subsequent raises every 6/12 months). First job out your...
