Freelancing

[Vladimir Zharov]

Hey, guys, how're you doing?
I have one question about building a vfx career. I live in Russia and for some reason I cannot leave this country and work abroad though I really want to. I even can't get away from the small town I live in. That's why I want to ask:

Are there vfx studios somewhere in the world that are practicing working with the freelancers who live far away from them?

thanks, guys.

Hi!
I'm from Russia too, but Live in Moscow. I think you should find in russian facilities first to make a first experience and reel. Then maybe you can find something abroad.

Hey, Jurmih.
I have 4 years of experience working as a compositor and a vfx artist on commercials, music videos and movies. And there were many clients from the US and Europe. I'm going to finish my new reel in a couple of weeks and then try to find some stable freelance opportunity. That's why I'm asking.

Wow! I thought you new one
I think you should post your demo in here http://www.vfxtalk.com/forums/78-VFX...ancer-Listings , maybe you get feedback, maybe even job offer. I know atleast one man who go abroad and work in Germany, so nothing impossible My demo and experience is not so impressive yet, but i'm work on it, and hope to go abroad too.
