The Best Way To Find A Visual Effect Company To Work With

About three years ago, when I was first considering joining the exciting world of 3D animation and design, I found myself overwhelmed by the possibilities and various types of advice that were available to me. As I listened to those who would be my colleagues, whether they were veterans of the industry, or were new, eager, presences on the scene, I felt dizzy by the array of opinions about what would make a superior visual effect company truly stand out from the pack. Now that I've been in the industry for a few years, I feel like I've come to learn enough on my own to have my own informed opinion, and I'd like to pass that knowledge on to others! Typically, I don't share too much information with those who are not with my company. But these points are too important not to share. So, what are some ways to spot a superior visual effect company? In my mind, it comes down to two things: 1. Emphasis on good customer service. This all comes down to common sense. I knew that the company where I now work was "the one" when they told me their philosophy that for them, the customer always comes first. This kind of service-minded attitude really appeals to me., and it's sure to get a lot of good and interesting business! 2. The ability to roll with changes in the industry, and be committed to continuous levels of innovation, This is related to the first point, of course. We all know that the 3d animation industry is changing all the time. A superior visual effect company will realize this, and seek to get out there on a continuous basis in order to stay on top of those changes. If you are thinking of working for a company that seems to never leave their studio, where the employees do not get out or onto the internet and see what others are doing, you should be suspicious. If you can't get inspired by the best CGI work that 's being done out there as a part of a company, why would you want to share your creative energies with them in the first place? These people should be your team! Anyway, what do you think? What are some ways that YOU might spot a superior visual effect company, one that really stands head and shoulders above the rest of the crowd?

Seance - The Daisey Mae Story

Monday 26th September - Preview of New Show. It is common for Theatre shows do run preview events and performances before the formal run of dates begins... It is common for comedians to try out material on a selected audience before going on tour... I would assume therefore that Magicians would do the same... For me this was the first time of running a dress rehearsal preview of a full two hour show in front of an invited audience and I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to do it! OK, the downside is having to cover the costs of hiring the venue BUT the pluses far outweigh these costs. It's almost impossible to rehearse a mentalism show without an audience, and despite the scripting, blocking, routining that needs to be done its not until there are real people watching what you do are you likely to get any sense of the 'effectiveness' of your show. Seance: The Daisey Mae story is a two hour show ending in a seance. I spent ages on a back story linking the...

Pokemon Training - Not Unlike Horses

Welcome to the Pokemon Cafe! The Pokemon cafe is for those who, like me, know next to nothing about the world of Pokemon that our kids are so excited about. I myself am a mother of an 11-year-old boy who spends a great deal of his day thinking of Pokemon. These days he's especially crazy about Pokemon Black and White, including the Pokemon card game and also the new Pokemon Black and White Plushies (Pokemon stuffed toys that look like stuffed animals). Since Pokemon Black and White came out, I admit to caving in and buying him a large plush toy and two small plushies. No more! Today's topic is training- how it is done and the attitudes of the trainers. Practically speaking, there are the attitudes of trainers in the animated Pokemon storyline and the attitudes of gamers. It is the former I want to focus on; it's more interesting! Like any other animal/human relationship, the core of the Pokemon/trainer relationship is based on trust. Beyond that, there may be a great deal...
