I've just recently moved back to Sydney from London after living and working as a Motion Graphics Designer and am having trouble finding freelance work in Sydney. I've worked for a few companies but as the year is drawing to and end, it's becoming harder to find work.

Are there any websites like Motionographer that specialise in broadcast design in Sydney and advertise jobs for Motion Designers.

Cheers.

I had created a basic html page with buttons for quicktime files. Do i need to get a expensive dedicated server for this? or is there any cheaper solutions would do the job for those new motion grapher for their quicktime folio site?

Thanks! wayne

I was hoping I could get some feedback on my reel and site.

Just thought I'd share the recently completed music video I made for Regolith. I decided to go for a slightly experimental approach to making it as I thought it would suit dark spatial tones of the music.

Also, I now have a new website. It's simple but hopefully effective.

Thanks for your time,

Jamie

Comments are always wellcome

I'm thinking of creating a bit of a self promotional/viral clip to send out / put on the web etc to show off my skills.

I'm an editor, motion designer and camera operator and want to do a fun video parodying cheesy 80's videos (ie - simulating bad computer graphics, bad editing effects, cheesy electronic music etc)

A majority of the clip will be graphics in this style to poke fun at how people think technology is the most important aspect when choosing who to make a video when we all know it's more about ideas. Only thing is i've found some clips of video on the web from the 80's that would suit the idea well, just illustrative pieces of old computers in use, smiling colleagues, default corporate video stuff ripped off VHS. I'd like to incorporate these into the video but are worried about a few things:

a) obviously the copyright reasons of using someone else's footage

b) possible client reaction to using someone elses footage in my work, no matter how minimal the use is

Putting a 'disclaimer' stating this either on the website where the video will be show, or at the start/end of the video stating the source footage does not belong to me is an option. Although i fear this will make the project and indeed myself as a professional, seem amateur.

I'd like to hear members views on this subject, specifically with regards to the way web works with 'viral' videos and whether as this video will be classified as such, using existing footage shouldn't create concern. I'd like to use the footage regardless as i believe the context of the video being the parody and the obvious dated nature of the footage shouldn't anger anyone.

Hope you guys can help!

My name is Michael (some call me MK) i am a recent graduate living in Chicago and was wondering if anyone here is also from Chicago.  I'm interested in meeting people to network with.  More importantly i am in dire need of finding work.  I'm searching for companies to intern for, i beleive its the best possible way of getting more professional experience under my belt and one step closer to a career.  Does anyone here have any good advice or work for a company that is currently seeking interns?

Thanks,

Michael (MK)

Long time ago, I saw an apple spot that someone did that was text based with a voice over and some illustrations came out while the voice over was happening.

It said about how there were influential people and how people think there is innovators etc. at the end it shows the apple from mac.

anyone know what im talking about and where I can find it?

Hello Everyone,

I created a reel of some of the animation work I have done professionally. Its my first attempt so I know I've probably broken some unspoken rules but I'd appreciate any feedback. I'm really looking o break into the motion graphics/ broadcast world so any guidance/ advice for that would be helpful too!
