tfw when you're behind on ur webtoon, behind on ur fanfiction, haven't started the next Zelda comic, trying to make the deadline for a short story contest, finishing a script for a developing big project, updating your showreel, doing social media promotion, and somehow working/living life too...

umm yea I'm dying to bring you more zelda comics and fanfiction but they unfortunately gotta fight quite a few other things for my attention and energy 😂😭 it's like a gladiator arena in here I swear! best I can do is say that I AM chipping away at all of these things, but just... really slowly lol.

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.

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.

Lights, Camera, Action: The Art of Hiring the Perfect Actors for Your Production

In the dynamic world of film, television, theater, and even corporate events, hiring the right actors can make or break a project. The process of finding the perfect talent requires a blend of art, science, and a keen understanding of the nuances of performance. Whether you're producing a blockbuster movie, a compelling TV series, or a memorable stage play, the importance of casting cannot be overstated. Let's delve into the essentials of hiring actors and how to ensure you get the best talent for your needs.

Understanding Your Needs

The first step in hiring actors is to have a clear understanding of the roles you need to fill. This involves a detailed analysis of the script and a clear vision of the characters. Are you looking for a charismatic lead, a comedic sidekick, or a dramatic antagonist? Each role requires a specific set of skills and attributes. Creating detailed character descriptions can help you identify the key traits and qualifications you need.

Casting Call and Auditions

Once you have a clear picture of your characters, it's time to announce a casting call. This can be done through various channels, including casting agencies, online platforms, and social media. A well-crafted casting call should include information about the project, the roles available, and any specific requirements (such as age, gender, or special skills).

Auditions are a crucial part of the hiring process. They allow you to see how actors bring characters to life and how they interact with others. During auditions, pay attention to the actors' ability to take direction, their chemistry with other cast members, and their overall presence on screen or stage.

Working with Casting Agencies

Casting agencies can be invaluable partners in the hiring process. They have access to a wide pool of talent and can help you find actors who fit your specific needs. Agencies also handle much of the administrative work, such as scheduling auditions and negotiating contracts, allowing you to focus on the creative aspects of your project.

Evaluating Talent

When evaluating actors, it's important to consider not just their technical skills, but also their ability to connect with the material and the audience. Look for versatility, emotional depth, and a strong sense of timing. It can also be helpful to review actors' past work, whether through showreels, previous performances, or testimonials.

Hire Actors for Events

Hiring actors isn't limited to traditional media productions. Many businesses and organizations hire actors for events to add a professional and engaging touch. Whether it's for corporate training, product launches, or promotional activities, actors can bring energy and expertise that elevate the event. When hiring actors for events, look for those with experience in live performances and the ability to adapt to different audiences and settings.

Negotiating Contracts

Once you've selected your actors, the next step is negotiating contracts. It's important to outline the terms clearly, including payment, working hours, and any specific expectations. Both parties should have a clear understanding of their obligations to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Rehearsals and Preparation

Hiring the right actors is just the beginning. Effective rehearsals are crucial to ensure that everyone is on the same page and can deliver their best performance. Rehearsals provide an opportunity to refine performances, build chemistry among the cast, and iron out any issues before filming or live performances begin.

Conclusion

The process of hiring actors is both an art and a science. It requires a keen eye for talent, a clear understanding of your needs, and the ability to manage both creative and administrative aspects. Whether you're casting for a major production or looking to hire actors for events, the right talent can make all the difference. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your project is cast with skilled and dedicated performers who will bring your vision to life.
