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 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.

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.

Autodesk's media & entertainment showreel from 2023 shows how Maya can be used in different forms of media from games to films and advertisements. This helps to show Maya's range and flexibility when it comes to its abilities.

Autodesk's games showreel from 2024 shows how Maya can be used specifically for games. This gives me a better idea of what I could be able to achieve in the future. It also shows Maya's range in types of games with different styles.

Games made in Maya:

Mirror's Edge Catalyst:

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a first-person platformer developed by DICE and published by EA. The game focuses on parkour with elements of fighting. The art style is quite realistic especially for 2016.

Uncharted 4 A Thief's End:

Uncharted 4 is a game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony. It is another game that shows how Maya can be used to create realistic graphics for games.

Call of Duty Black Ops III:

Black Ops III is a game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision as the 12th game in the CoD franchise. It was both modelled and textured purely using Maya and is considered one of the most successful games of 2015.

Dragon Age Inquisition:

Dragon Age Inquisition is a game developed by BioWare and published by EA. The game uses Maya for the modelling and texturing of a majority of assets due to its performance in manipulating character rigs with Parallel Rig Evaluation.

Mastering the Digital Sphere: Filmmakers' Guide to Online Success

**In the Evolving World of Filmmaking, Creating a Strong Digital Footprint is Essential**

In today's transforming film industry, particularly for emerging directors in New Jersey and New York, having a powerful online footprint is crucial. In an age where digital connections reign supreme, grasping the intricacies of establishing a virtual persona is fundamental for successful film promotion and engagement.

Independent Filmmaking: Highlighting the Importance of Online Visibility

As an independent filmmaker, wearing numerous hats is a necessity, and mastering the digital domain is vital. Establishing a presence online boosts your visibility, enabling direct audience engagement. This creates opportunities for promotion, crowdfunding, and building a committed fan base.

To stand out amidst the noise, find and engage with an audience that shares your film vision. Interact with them via social media, at live venues, and by creating a strong email list. Prioritizing relationship-building over broad outreach helps cultivate a more engaged and specific audience.

Look to films like "The Paper Tigers," where creatives utilized digital platforms to elevate their creations. By employing strategic social media, they attracted a significant following, demonstrating the effectiveness of digital marketing.

Digital Marketing Expertise

Constructing an effective digital marketing plan involves concentrating on critical elements:

Defining Goals: Clearly identify your aim, whether it’s to market a film, build a brand, or lure investors; this provides a solid groundwork.

Effective Self-Promotion: Develop a compelling narrative about yourself and your projects, ensuring it appeals to your intended audience.

Social Media Platforms: Use both organic and paid approaches on social media for direct audience relationships, potentially sparking viral growth and increased fan engagement.

Social media facilitates real-time interactions with your audience. Sharing behind-the-scenes peeks or project updates deepens the audience's connection with your creative path.

Developing Your Digital Portfolio

An online presence starts with a well-crafted website and professional profiles on sites like LinkedIn. This digital domain should act as a portfolio, presenting personal projects, a resume, and links to any professional profiles, such as your IMDb page.

A carefully curated portfolio showcases your talents and body of work, serving as a valuable tool when networking with other professionals in the industry. A strong showreel further enhances your presence by providing a tangible glimpse of your skills.

Networking continues to be crucial, with local film events and festivals offering chances for connection. Engage to nurture existing relationships and form new ones. Volunteering provides insights into the industry's inner workings and grows your network through genuine interactions. Online platforms also bridge gaps; follow industry professionals, participate in discussions, and engage with film-related groups to expand your influence.

Best Practices for Online Engagement

Identify your audience. Understanding who is most likely to connect with your work and establishing relationships with them ensures you distinguish yourself amidst the online competition.

Consistency in content creation is critical. Regular postings maintain interest and engagement. Focus on content that resonates with your audience’s interests, drawing them closer to your work.

Use platforms resourcefully. Distribute projects like corporate films across various sites, amplifying reach with minimal additional expense. Embed videos in your website to tap into SEO advantages, possibly boosting search engine rankings.

In conclusion, developing a strong online presence involves digital marketing expertise, smart social media utilization, enriched website portfolios, and proactive networking. Together, these elements form a comprehensive strategy that propels filmmakers toward a flourishing online existence.

Concluding Thoughts

For filmmakers in New Jersey and New York, standing out starts with successful online strategies. Concentrate on relatable engagement, digital skills, and consistent communication using relevant channels. As this framework is adopted, the advantages, from heightened audience interaction to enhanced career opportunities, become apparent.

Engage with your audience regularly. Refine your professional online persona. Ultimately, these efforts shape a unique, personalized online presence that boosts your career path.

Balancing engagement, promotion, and relationship building is key to online triumph in filmmaking. Start this journey with insight, forming enduring and meaningful connections.

By adopting these strategies, filmmakers can effectively leverage the digital realm to advance their careers and leave a lasting mark within the film industry.
