Go out with a camera, shoot something, give it a name, and make your own page, and by that standard you can be a celebrity too. :D I've added a slightly-out-of-date demo reel of my work that you might enjoy. Sorry for the low resolution -- I used what I had on hand rather than making a new one. Heading off to work now, but I'll answer some of the last couple pages of comments this morning, if I can. | ||

Sorry for the rant  Thanks for sharing your story It's very inspirational especially for me who's looking for a job in the VFX world. Compared to when you were freelancing, do you have more free time now that you have a contract ? | ||

It's depressing that traditional animation (hand drawn) has become so rare on the big screen... I think that Disney may be working on a new traditional project right now. Can't recall the details though. Got any tips for fellow film creators that want to expand their horizon? For visual effects people in particular: get a camera and do some of your own photography. I can't tell you how useful it's been to have experience with real-world photography in figuring out what will work in a visual effects context. Everything from white balance to depth of field to composition to dynamic range and the color of light and shadow, it all applies. OMG im also from rhythm and hue xD That's great! Feel free to IM me sometime on the company network and say hello! There are quite a few of us who work in film & television that post here Very nice blog Mark! Hopefully we run into one another sometime! PM me and let me know more about what you're doing! I'd love to hear about it. I'm currently in my third year doing animation at a college in Cape Town, South Africa. Funny enough, we have just come out of a MEL scripting lesson and my lecturer mentioned your book! Which is weirdly coincidental. Sadly the industry has died down here alot, the company I was hoping to go to at the end of the year for an internship closed down the other week (Clockwork Zoo) and there are hundreds of experienced, talented animators wandering the streets looking for jobs, which is a very frightening prospect to face after all the money and effort that has gone into this course in the first place. I'm sorry to hear that! Assuming you're willing to travel elsewhere in the world to work, though, there should be opportunities out there. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India, PRC, Taiwan, the U.K., and the U.S. all have lots of animation going on, and the demand for it will probably not decrease anytime soon. Man, some good memories from all the movies you mentioned Interesting to see your perspective of the movies that I grew up with In a very real sense, I kind of grew up with these movies too -- each one I worked on was a huge learning experience for me, and I think back to those times pretty warmly, both because I was working with incredibly brilliant, creative people, and because in many cases the projects were a lot of fun in their own right. I was so mad when I saw Golden Compass... they cut out everything that could be subversive for the audience. Thing is, they really didn't! About all they did was refer to the "magisterium" instead of the "church" in a few places, and the book uses both terms. It was an incredibly faithful interpretation of the book. It felt empty compared to the books. I'm even more mad right now if you say that you worked on the real and actual ending! + Show Spoiler + What they did was save the ending of the first book to be used as the opening of a second movie. Test audiences, who mostly hadn't ever read the book, found the ending a total depressing downer (which it pretty much was!). Had there been a sequel, their choice with this would have worked pretty well, because the ending of book 1 set up a great conflict for book 2. Edit: Thanks so much to the TL mods for the place in the Spotlighted threads section on the main page, and thanks to everyone who's said something nice in the thread. It means a lot to me. | ||

I just graduated from Mudd last year as a Math Major, so I know how it is. :D (except of course that you graduated when I was only 4 years old.) I wish your story for finding an awesome career was a little less bumpy so I could just follow, that, though. Times aren't all that great for a math major who wasn't planning on going to grad school. Either way, thanks for the story! Fun to read, and even more fun to watch all the amazing clips! | ||

Hellz yeah, HMC! I just graduated from Mudd last year as a Math Major, so I know how it is. :D (except of course that you graduated when I was only 4 years old.) I wish your story for finding an awesome career was a little less bumpy so I could just follow, that, though. Times aren't all that great for a math major who wasn't planning on going to grad school. Congratulations!! Send me a PM and we can talk a little bit, I might be able to put you in touch with some Mudd alums who might know about job leads. How did you get into the TL community/SC scene? I'm sorry if you already answered it. I got an SC2 beta invite because I'd attended Blizzcon '08, and quickly wound up on Teamliquid because it's really the only place for serious analysis of the game. Any of you who have seen my posts on the game know by now that I'm pretty damn bad by TL standards (MMR in the high Gold to low Plat range based on whom I'm playing) but I've satisfied myself reading other people's analysis and occasionally posting on areas where I feel I can contribute something, like the League and Ladder threads, which benefit from a little knowledge of statistics. I've also enjoyed following the exploits of fellow Mudders like qxc and Day[9], who have become such an important part of this community. | ||

Seems a bit harder today though to jump into something new with a very different education, but perhaps that's more true here. | ||
