A good social comment. I see that no matter how far the technology expands, the human condition will remain the same.

James David Sullivan

When you think of four fingers and a thumb in the context of love, what comes to your mind? I knew it - the middle finger got into it about 3 minutes into the video! ;-) Seriously, Great Job!

Freelance or Staff?

I have been a freelance animator for over two years now. A studio I have worked for in the past approached me for a staff position. I have done really well as a freelancer and will make slightly less money as a staffer. However the prospect of steady work intrigues me. I know it a decision I have to...

This was a decision I was faced with, Jonathan, and D.K. certainly hit the nail on the head: It all comes down to individual priorities. My final decision was made by looking at my work flow -- over a...

Thanks for all your advice.

sometimes a job can become worth more than what they pay you. Will it lead to new exposure and connections and experience that you couldn't get otherwise?

3D Modeling Programs

Hey Everyone, I'm begining to teach myself some 3D modeling software. I've been told Maya is a good start and was wondering if anyone else had other feedback to give on it or other programs (3D Max, Z Brush, etc.) Thanks!

Leon De Masi

Daz 3D is also fairly easy to use, and it's also free to download. From what I've seen around the web, the big 3 are Maya, 3DS Max, and Blender. Cinema 4D is also expensive ($400 last time I checked). Fortunately, most of these programs have "demo" versions you can download and try out.

David Caro

Cinema 4d, the best one for motiongraphics.

Alain Tartevet

I agree!!!! I use this software everyday and I love it.

What is the best comedy film of all time?

Mark Ratering

if kem can add i will too "holy grail"

D.S. Ullery

Whenever I'm asked this question, only one answer (since 1984, at least) is always the first and best to come to mind : Ghostbusters, To this day,that is the single funniest film (with the most quotable dialogue) that I have ever seen.

Bob Wagner

Kem: I love "My Fellow Americans!" Great little movie with two classic talents. I watch it about 2-3 times a year. A few years back I watched it with my girlfriend, and for weeks afterward she kept referring to me as "Blinky."
