Good luck to the guys looking for work … I don’t know what it is like in the rest of the world but where I am at (San Diego CA USA) work is rare.
Still, the last time I looked there was a good amount gaming development here … High Moon, Rockstar, Sony, etc. We don’t have the culture and sophistication of Europe, but you can’t beat the weather here.

That’s right, YOU can give one of these poor, hungry animators a loving home where they can work and play in a healthy environment. Please, contact one of these animators this summer and give them the working environment they deserve. Happy holidays.

good luck all with the job find, looking forward to the Sintel release.
Looking at whats be going on with GSOC, 2.5 development, render changes, particles, sculpting, freestyle I am truly amazed with all you committment.
You managed give a luddite like myself access tool which is changing me from 2nd grade chaos artists, to someone who can now draw lines… :).
I nearly entered the last CGSociety competition but with only 3 weeks to go, and only having a AMD 1600, with a tnt32 grapohics card, and trying to learn blender 2.5 its a bit of a tall order.

@kingcreole: that’s very probable xD.
I hope you will work with directors that don’t have moving cups and people making smilies all the time lol
Wish you the best. Good luck 😀
