Harry Markle Blog - Harry's Legal Antics And TWs Desperate Showreel by u/wordscapesx

Harry Markle Blog - Harry's Legal Antics And TW’s Desperate Showreel https://harrymarkle.wordpress.com/2023/12/26/harolds-legal-antics-and-tws-desperate-showreel/"Harry using the courts to air his petty grievances as part of his mission to discredit the institution of the Monarchy and to further his cause as a victim"Most of the time I agree with everything this blogger states but he/she is wrong on the media not giving them coverage anymore. The UK media is full of the Sussexes -Mirror, Hello, Daily Express, Daily Mail, Telegraph, Times, US womens magazine - a lot of glowing puff pieces. In some of the UK tabs like Mirror and Express you'll see 5-6 articles per day.Why? Because those articles get clicks and that means $$$. I don't look for that to stop anytime soon. post link: https://ift.tt/lcxYAIL author: wordscapesx submitted: December 27, 2023 at 02:40PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

Hiya :) I just saw your post from a couple of weeks ago about the graphics of Seven's Borg skeleton in PIC. Tumblr being tumblr, I couldn't get into the notes of the post to ask there, so I hope it's okay I'm sending this. Do you have a link to the video where they showcase those graphics? I know a couple of the presentations the design house did on their work for Picard, but I'm always hoping to find more (mostly for the mappinglasirena blog, because that is Sirena's UI :D )

Hello!

I really like your @mappinglasirena and I'm actually inspired by your blog and I kind of want to do the same for the Constitution Class III - Titan/Ent-G!

And, I'm glad to share the video with you, I tracked it down under Andrew Jarvis who worked for Twisted Media. You can read his work for Star Trek Picard s1 here!

The showreel is embedded on his site, and I think you'll also find his interview very enlightening re: UI used for La Sirena!

Since it's on youtube, it's much easier to embed the video here:

I hope this helps!

Part 2 of 2

Sorry, I had another question related to my previous ask about Jared, but I want to know what you think Jensen can do to increase his visibility with buyers, because right now, all I’m seeing are events designed to increase his visibility with the fans. And sure, they also put money in his bank account, but probably not as much, or as consistently as a steady job in the industry could.

That's easy:

Get a strong, brilliant acting coach and refine his performances.

Get a branding consultation and find his brand bullseye and tag line as well as define the types under his brand umbrella.

Reshoot headshots that are in line with those characters and his core essence.

Cut his showreel and character clips in a way that is aligned with his newly defined brand.

Redesign/Realign all the other promotional materials that make up his actor package to match his brand.

Establish a strategy with his team and clear steps on how to target his desired shows/roles/evolutions.

Extend his brand to his social media presence, appearances and any other public thing he will be involved in. He needs to fully step into it in every way, including online comments.

Stay coherent and train continuosly.

Network with buyers for which his particular brand is a bullseye.

Produce high quality content that promotes his skills and talents.

Shift from trying to fake highly masculine traits to embodying elegance and charisma which is what his look is more believable for as opposed to the butch/arrogant look he forcefully tries to push that makes him look absolutely clueless about how casting perceives him.

Believe in himself and invest in opportunities, training, self care, etc, whatever he requires to unlock a deeper level of his talent and presence.

Stop taking on low stakes, low quality roles that dilute his brand and star power.

Take risks! There is no great actor without that person being someone who takes risks bravely and dynamically.

Find ways to serve the people around him instead of feeling entitled to roles, he needs to ask himself what he can bring to the industry rather than coming at it from an what he can get from it perspective. We get our dreams by allowing others to reach theirs.

The short version? Be authentic in a continuos way that will allow his buyers to know, like and trust him.

[atomiciva]

Hi hi!! Just so say in advance but for some reason i cant write questionmarks so ive just put them in brackets of where they go lmao. I wanted to shoot you a message and so I hope you dont mind but I was wondering what sort of portfolio you submitted to be able to work on Unicorn Warriors Eternal, I currently am an animator who has been struggling on getting a 2d animation job for a few years now and I was wondering if you would have any advice for someone who feels like they are struggling to get into the industry (Questionmark) Your animation for the show is amazing and I love the little bit of fanart that you made of melinda and edred too!! Once again, sorry if this is a bother but I figured that I would atleast try to ask :)

Heya! No worries at all!

I still feel super lucky honestly and I've only ever been at this one studio so far, so I don't know how helpful this is gonna be but I'll give it my best shot haha

This was my old showreel straight from the end of university which I had on my portfolio site when I applied:

https://youtu.be/42ubnrPGx2Y

I was lucky in the fact that the main thing I enjoyed doing during uni was animation clean-up in TVPaint, aaaand then I saw the job listing looking for... animation clean-up in TVPaint! I'm still not the best at rough animation, but as you can see my reel had lots and lots of clean-up examples, and that was exactly what Studio Zmei was looking for.

So, first tip: Focus your showreel on what you want to get a job for! If you're applying for rough traditional animation, show your roughs vs the final thing, or a clean-up heavy reel like mine if you wanna do clean-up, or a reel just for ToonBoom rigged animation if that's what you're applying for.

Second? Tip? Look for more obscure studios, or ask around your local studios (if you have any) if they offer internships or even junior level jobs? Studios are often really biased towards local people, and I was lucky that Zmei just happened to be situated in my home city. We often get interns not from any listings but just from people showing interest in an email. But I also know that's a bit unusual and a lot of studios are more closed off?? And going back to the more obscure studios part: The more well known a studio is, the more insane the competition to get a spot is, hence why usually it's not so much your portfolio's fault rather than the huge influx of candidates. This is where looking at general animation job listings sites can help a lot, and I even found Zmei's listing here in the first place:

https://animatedjobs.com/

aaand there's one for games too: https://gamejobs.work/

Lots of studios use these and they also have twitter/instagram pages to keep you updated as well. If a job is listed as remote, go for it! A lot of smaller studios that handle outsource animation are often starved for animators. (a lot of those do 2D rigged animation in ToonBoom or Adobe too, so it's def worth making a fresh reel for that if it's up your alley) Following a lot of studios on social media and especially LinkedIn helps too, as some of them post listings there exclusively.

And, third tip - there's no shame in starting small. I constantly get spammed by studios looking for mobile game animators or educational video animators on LinkedIn. Sure not all of those are gonna be worth looking into, but a lot of my friends started off like that. Every little bit of experience counts and builds up your CV. It's really hard to jump straight into being a rough animator, or a designer, or a storyboarder. Even my role of doing clean-up is considered more junior, and we had lots of people who did only coloring and shading too. And the more entry level version of a storyboard artist would be a storyboard revisionist. Everyone starts somewhere!

Other things like putting a direct link or linktree to your portfolio site or showreel easily accessible on all of your social medias could also help, as recruiters often have no time to dig for that stuff. (altho I'll be honest I've only ever been approached once (1) by a local studio on just instagram, so that's a really rare occurrence. still helps to be prepared though!)

I hope this was somewhat helpful haha. Good luck!!!

Making of: Intergrated Practice - Portfolio Presentation.

As part of this module I was tasked with giving a presentation on what type of career I wanted within the animation industry, which animation studios I would particularly want to work for (and why) and present my newly built online artist portfolio, which included links to my social media accounts.

When it was my turn to present, I mostly spoke off script and, using the slides I had produced as guides, I described the work I am, so far, most proud of, what studios I'd like to work for (mainly Kilogramme Studio for its 2D work and Mackinon & Sandars for its diverse stop-motion), and how, while mainly specialising in digital 2D and stop-motion, I didn't want to be put in a box as an artist. Showcasing in both my presentation and my showreel that I can work in a diverse array of mediums and styles, including live action puppetry.

My presentaiton was well received. My teacher particularly liked the inclusion of my live action puppetry work. He commented on how that was a unique medium to work in, and I agree. Much like animation, I personally feel live action puppetry is a very unique medium with a vast amount of potential for creative visual storytelling. Potential which, in my opinion, has been relatively unexplored in the medium of cinema. I would very much like to make more short films using exclusively live action puppets and puppet sets.

Unlock Your Freelance Potential with Engaging Video Content

TITLE: How Freelancers Can Leverage Video Content to Enhance Their Brand

In the fast-moving digital environment of today, freelancers must develop a captivating brand presence to stand out and thrive. An increasingly favored approach is utilizing video content. As video marketing takes center stage in the marketing realm, weaving it into your freelance strategy becomes essential. This article provides an in-depth guide to establishing your freelance brand through video content, tailored for freelancers aiming to leave a noteworthy mark in their industry.

Understanding Video Marketing

Video marketing has taken on a crucial role, with the U.S. industry valued at a remarkable $135 billion. This expansion highlights the necessity of integrating video content into your branding efforts.

Start by defining the objectives of your video content strategy. Identify whether your aim is to boost brand awareness, drive interest, or sway decision-making in favor of your brand. Understanding your target market is just as important. Who are they? What do they want to watch? Creating content that resonates with them is vital. Storytelling plays a critical role here. Design engaging stories with a lead character facing challenges, embarking on a journey, and achieving resolution, all while aligning with your brand's mission. This approach evokes intended emotions, making your content memorable.

Crafting a Captivating Video Portfolio

A thoughtfully curated video portfolio is a potent tool for drawing in clients. Highlight your top projects, steering clear of outdated or lower-quality ones. Tailor your portfolio with your intended client in mind, centering on videos that capture their interests. Keep navigation straightforward to prevent overwhelming viewers.

Include showreels—collections of different projects into a single video—perfect for social media sharing. Using professional hosting platforms can further enhance the appearance and accessibility of your portfolio.

Effective Strategies for Freelance Video Marketing

Defining your specialization is crucial. Whether it's corporate videos, real estate tours, or branded content, having a niche helps you distinguish yourself. Employ innovative storytelling by incorporating deliberate pacing, transitions, and sound to highlight your creative and technical skills.

SEO has a significant impact on your reach. Optimize videos for search engines, utilizing appropriate keywords, tags, and descriptions to widen your audience. Clear client communication is also vital for smooth feedback loops, supported by tools like Dropbox Replay.

Harnessing Video for Personal Branding

Consistency is key in developing a strong personal brand through video. Ensure your videos showcase a unified brand voice and values, creating a recognizable identity. Strive to create an emotional connection with your audience via your videos. Decide on the emotions you wish to evoke, allowing every detail from props to attire to express these feelings.

Create content that is both actionable and informative. Consider tutorials or behind-the-scenes looks to showcase your expertise. This approach not only educates your viewers but also highlights your proficiency in your field.

Key Aspects of Marketing as a Freelance Video Editor

Maintaining a strong digital presence is essential. Ensure a professional website and active social media profiles are in place, with accessible links to your portfolio. Networking continues to be indispensable. Engage with industry forums, social media groups, and networking events to connect with prospective clients.

Consider initiating ad campaigns to further display your portfolio and reach a broader audience. It's an investment with promising returns if executed well.

Practical Tips for Freelancers

To fully leverage video content: Begin by setting clear goals aligned with your overarching branding strategy. Regular creative brainstorming sessions can help shape your video’s content style, characters, and storyline. Specifically highlight your unique selling points, showcasing what sets you apart from others in your niche.

Your portfolio should be succinct and meticulously curated, focusing on the best examples. Allow the content to convey the message rather than relying on words. SEO optimization is crucial, using targeted keywords and descriptions to greatly enhance visibility.

Ultimately, creating and building your brand as a freelancer using video content is strategic. It's an effective way to showcase skills, bolster market appeal, and attract clients. By understanding the significance of video marketing, crafting an impressive portfolio, and adhering to best practices, a strong brand can be established.

How to Hire the Perfect Film Production Company for Your Project

Hiring a film production company is a crucial step in bringing your creative vision to life. Whether you’re working on a corporate video, a commercial, or a feature film, the right production company can elevate your project with professional expertise and innovative storytelling. However, with numerous companies offering diverse services, selecting the right one can be overwhelming. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to hire a film production company that aligns with your goals, budget, and creative needs.

1. Define Your Project’s Objectives

Before beginning your search, have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve with your project. Are you aiming to create a brand-building corporate video, an engaging advertisement, or a cinematic masterpiece? Defining your project’s goals, target audience, tone, and overall vision will help you find a production company with the expertise and experience to meet your requirements.

Determine the Scope: Consider the complexity and scale of your project. A short promotional video might require a smaller team, while a feature film demands extensive resources.

Set a Budget: Knowing your budget helps narrow down your options and ensures you find a company capable of delivering within your financial constraints.

2. Research and Shortlist Potential Companies

Begin by researching production companies that specialize in the type of content you want to produce. Use online directories, industry forums, and social media platforms to create a list of potential candidates.

Check Portfolios: Review their previous work to assess their quality, style, and versatility. Look for projects similar to yours to gauge their expertise in handling similar tasks.

Read Reviews and Testimonials: Client reviews provide valuable insights into a company’s professionalism, communication, and reliability.

3. Evaluate Their Expertise and Resources

Once you’ve shortlisted a few companies, evaluate their capabilities and resources. A professional film production company should have a skilled team and access to advanced equipment.

Team Expertise: Ask about the qualifications and experience of their crew members, including directors, producers, cinematographers, and editors.

Technical Resources: Ensure the company has high-quality equipment, such as cameras, lighting, and sound gear, as well as in-house or accessible post-production facilities.

4. Communicate Your Vision

Schedule meetings with potential production companies to discuss your project in detail. Clearly articulate your ideas, goals, and expectations, and observe how well they understand and align with your vision.

Gauge Creativity: A great production company will not only execute your ideas but also contribute creatively by offering unique solutions and suggestions.

Assess Communication Skills: Ensure they are open to collaboration and provide transparent communication throughout the process.

5. Request a Detailed Proposal

Ask the shortlisted companies to submit a proposal that outlines their approach to your project, timelines, and cost estimates. A detailed proposal will give you an idea of how they plan to execute your vision and whether their process aligns with your expectations.

Breakdown of Costs: Ensure the proposal includes a clear breakdown of costs for pre-production, production, and post-production services.

Timelines: Verify that the proposed timeline aligns with your project deadlines.

6. Consider Creativity and Style

The creative approach and storytelling style of a film production services company can significantly impact your project’s outcome. Choose a company that matches the tone and aesthetic you envision.

Watch Showreels: Review their showreels to assess their storytelling skills and visual style.

Discuss Ideas: A creative and passionate team will actively brainstorm ways to enhance your project, adding value beyond your initial concept.

7. Check Legal and Logistical Competence

Filmmaking involves various legal and logistical considerations. Ensure the company is experienced in managing permits, contracts, and other necessary documentation.

Legal Expertise: Verify that they can handle location permits, contracts with talent, and licensing agreements.

Logistics Management: Ask about their experience in coordinating shoots, including managing equipment, crew, and transportation.

8. Trust Your Instincts

Finally, trust your instincts when making a decision. Choose a film production company that inspires confidence, demonstrates professionalism, and shares your enthusiasm for the project.

Conclusion

Hiring the right film production company is a critical decision that can determine the success of your project. By clearly defining your objectives, researching potential companies, and evaluating their expertise and creativity, you can find a reliable partner to bring your vision to life. The perfect production company will not only meet your technical and logistical needs but also collaborate with you to create content that resonates with your audience and achieves your goals.
