--be professional. That means being concise and to the point. Tell them what you are about in one or two short sentences. tell them you are available now. Tell them one sentence on why you want to work for them. Include a link. That's all you need
22 Jun 02:33
--altough doesent matter i will get rejections anyway so ill stick to the short ones
22 Jun 02:30
--btw Amit when mailing companies can it be litterally " hey i want to work for you" insert jpgs and links and thats it. Dont like writing my life stories and walls of text
22 Jun 02:29
--but that's the thing if I was really upset, I would have believed all the bullshit I just spewed out
22 Jun 02:27
--realistically only after at least 5 years in the studio...but I am a smooth worker and ingratiator so maybe in 3
22 Jun 02:26
--That contact, given how brilliant the story and unique it would have been, would have got me my own book/movie/game deal
22 Jun 02:26
--Ok here was the plan John. I almost got into weta as a studio concept artist junior. Life fucked that up for me. If I had, I would have worked on all the large movies for the last two years. I probably would have made shit loads of contacts, and the potential to get any personal work I had done in that time (debateable given the work hours they do and the distance I live from the studio) right in front of Sir Richard Taylor himself.

--been there done that Amit, altough not looking at the keyboard tends to increase the amount of typos
22 Jun 02:24
--Just wanted to hear stories is all. I mean, it's cool if you guys think its pointless. But look. If you're too tired just rest up haha!
22 Jun 02:23
--i have a cheapo keyboard but since i never looks at my keyboard when i type i dont even think i would need letters at this point
22 Jun 02:22
--Explain your ref John. too tired...also fffffuck. get a fucking backlit keyboard...this 10$ piece of shit is horrible
22 Jun 02:21
--hey amit do you agree with my observation that my art looks unfinished? trying to find flaws to fix them
22 Jun 02:19
--ahh see but recon provides objective information : number of troops, amount of vehicles, geographic location etc. they wont tell you "nah man this position is shit lets attack it from somewhere else "
22 Jun 02:19
--I think the problem with a lot of this stuff, and giving advice is, that people often discount how impactful their petty little notions can be to others. They say all sorts of things based on one individual's experience as if that meant a damn to someone else's. It doesn't. it disempowers people from taking control of their own lives...because "so and so did it this way, and look how they are now". Fuck. That. Shit
22 Jun 02:18
--Well, of course of course.. the end of the day, the decisions on me. But look, not asking for stories is like going into war raw. It's like saying recons are stupid because end of the day you're still going to fight a war
22 Jun 02:17
--on side note ive been looking and comparing my art to good art and i noticed. My biggest flaw is that my stuff looks flat and unfinished
22 Jun 02:15
--but stuff like studio or freelance is very subjective some people love working in studios other hate it what if you ask 3 people and all of them hated it and you just happen not to encounter people who love it , and it turns out you would have loved a studio job but those opionions swayed you
