Hey guys!!
Been a crazy couple of weeks in the cg biz and the Hard times have made their way to our company as well .
Superbot has had to downsize several times in the last few months and I and many of our brothers and sisters are back on the street looking for work.
Its not just games.....its the Film folks as well......Dreamworks - Digital Domain -Rhythm and Hues- Lots of super talented folks without work.
Luckily I quickly found another great project and will be joining a new talented team in March for another Big production.
The project is very cartoony and a very well known character in the video games biz that I am very excited to animate........new chapters ahead and I wish Superbot the best.
as for our film....
I have been doing a few pickup shots and they are making the film just that much better...... plugging Holes here and there with a closeup or a reaction shot.........Adding the effects to the shots is all frosting and really fun to do.
What we finished here is so freaking massive guys..... I can tell there will be a HOLE when its all gone.
Something shel always said to me......
when she works for months and months on a Piece of Dance to perform...
All The setup - rehearsals -All the coordination...... and then POOF...its gone.
It fades into the memory's of anyone who saw it...and her experience as the performer fades as well .
She said there is almost always some kind of Post performance Blues.
I have never been in that situation before but I tell you that finishing our film then Being able to watch our art over and over with audiences all over the country just keeps the AFTERGLOW shining bright!!

Good points taken to you.

That's why Woody Allen has always "chain smoked" his films. The day he finishes the last edit on a project is the day he starts writing his next.
I think a well earned few days off is nice to do too.
As for work, I can't imagine you without a good job, ever, no matter what. You seem willing to do whatever you could to keep income coming in, no matter what that meant you had to do.
