Rae - are you a freelance journalist?

I'm so excited for everyone!! So close!!

I'm so excited for all of you

Nope, I'm a freelance broadcast animator. Not much of a writer.

What do you do?

I am so excited for everyone too. The 3 couples who got their dates really made me feel better this week!

Glad your headache is gone Laura.

I was curious as well. So I checked Wikipedia and it stated it was a slang for adult XXX director!!

lol, no xxx.

Yes, very similar to 3D animation but I happen to be a 2D animator. After Effects is my main software program, which people always say is Photoshop in motion, if you are familiar with Adobe software.

Come to think of it melusine, didn't you mention that's your field, or that you are interested in it? What do you do?

It's always hard to describe what I do to people who aren't familiar with the industry, but I work on commericals, show openings, music videos, that sort of thing. It is a pretty cool job but I think my dream job is to be a chocolate taster. Or a sommelier, though I don't think I have a particularly well defined palette.

i am a jr 3d animator, i also like compositing (use eyeon fusion) wich might be closer to what you are doing... after 7 years in graphic design (print and web). I went to school last year to get my new field (i always wanted to do 3d work but it was too early when i wanted it... no school yet in france (it started like 3 yrs later)...

I took a long way to finally do what i want to do but i'm there now

of course, photoshop, illustrator, indesign, quark etc are also soft that i use

But now it's more, XSI, pftrack, realflow, fusion. I am working on a project right now where i use a little particules, rigid body and scripting because i didn't used it much in the past year too.

and right now i am self learning maya, combustion and some scripting to add some extra's too

Yeah, I like compositing as well, though I'm not familiar with all the programs you mentioned. I've learned combustion actually a couple of times in the past but never used it on a regular basis and so forgot it. I also tried to learn Maya on my own but have learned that I just don't think I have a brain for 3D. I'll stick to 2.5D, haha.

You're the female half of the relationship, right? It's rare that I see women 3D animators. So good for you. We need more women in the field! And you're going to be moving to LA, right? There's so much work there! Which, actually for me isn't great since I have no desire to live in LA. But there's also plenty of work here in NYC, so good thing.

[melusine 5]

and under the torture of Liz asking for some news... i will call now

12:14.... they say i'll wait 5 minutes... let say if they deliver
