So I'm currently working as a freelance illustrator and animator and I'm currently working on four projects, all of which I'm supposed to be getting paid for. I know for a fact that I'll be paid for three of them, but it's the fourth job I'm worried about.
I was contacted through the animation school I used to attend along with three of my old classmates, it's a decent project, an animated TV series which could turn into full time work for the rest of the year. We've been working on it for a few months and haven't been paid yet, there has been talk of it, but nothing yet.
So I guess my question is; how do I ensure I get the money I've been promised without being rude? and at what point should I jump ship if it looks like we won't be getting anything?
