Aru gets a JOB! (OR TWO!)

Tue Nov 11, 2008, 12:20 AM
I got a job. NO, TWO ACTUALLY!!! XD At two different animation studios.

I first approached Mad Cow Pictures about 3 weeks ago and sent my portfolio. I heard back from them within an hour. The next day I was in their studio doing an interview. During that week, I worked on test for a show where I got feedback and learned heaps from ex-disney director, Steve Trenbirth (Jungle Book 2). I started working there last Friday (7th)! I'm working on a flash animation and finish up towards the end of this month. =) Mainly drawing objects in Flash but also a little bit of simple animation... helping them get things done. It's AWESOME!

The other job I applied for, within the two weeks I was waiting to hear back from Mad Cow. My very good friend, Viv, gave me the heads up that Erky Perky were doing a 3rd series and looking for a props designer. I worked hard at my portfolio and Viv forwarded it (which I'm very grateful for) then got an interview with the series director and producer late last week. I just got confirmation today and I start... right after I finish at Mad Cow! X3

Good news comes in GIGANTIC packages... I also scored a role in an upcoming online radioplay series that sounds somewhat EPIC. It's done by a group called ExcelsiorRadio.net Anyway, more details when things start churning out for that!

Meanwhile I'm more than half way through my online digital painting course at schoolism.com. I haven't posted on it but here's a link to our class blog.

So all good news down my end. I'll be busy for the next few months, possibly more. >___< I guess, if you put your mind to it, you can really get what you want!!
