Whats your occupation

[gavin-h]

I make electrical looms for Eurofighter Typhoons at the moment. Expecting to change shortly to something else aircraft related, as I'm a lowly apprentice that gets shifted about on placements every 4 months.

Matty, if you get shifted to Aerospace at Warton near Preston, give me a shout - it's only about 10 minutes from me and we could meet up for a beer if you like...

well I'm rather pleased as I have recently been told I'll be going permanent at my current job.

Having been at my old firm for 5 years with all that job security, I was somewhat wary of taking on a 6 month contract but couldn't turn down the money, hours etc.

Well as of the end of this month I'll be on a permanent contract so will have that security back, plus I'll be going onto an on-call rota which gives me a rise. Which is nice haha.

Only thing is once I've signed my contract I'll be on a 3 month notice period!!! :shock: :shock:

Been invited to contribute to a parliamentary select committee proposal and been approached for a corporate logistics role in a multinational firm. Fingers crossed both lead to something.

Have you got a link to your showreel bud? Was thinking we could maybe help one another out at some point?

 

[Steve-o]

Lol - sounds more glamourous than it actually is. Basically contributing to a parliamentary debate, nice to know I may be affecting future laws though. Other one is purely commercial.

 

[Al]

I image the money's in the commercial side

 

[Steve-o]

Not all about the money. I'd rather get paid less and do something I find interesting and challenging than a tedious and monotonous job. But if you get a job that is interesting and challenging and pays... Bonus

True and totally agree, hence my decision to pursue what I love rather than what pays now. I was going on the assumption politics is boring for most people, which is massively ignorant and wrong

i have to get a website and upload them. spent the last month re-rendering scenes, works i did from uni a while. takes about a day to render a 10min video at the moment. Some places i sent of an old reel wanted it to last about 2 mins, to include level designs i did with Unreal/Crysis, animation vids, 3d model stills and concept art. had to get a make to make it in a good movie maker app, which leads me to finding one soon for when my stuff is complete i can mix them well together instead of using a basic windows slide which just looks like a child put it together.
any help ya need give me a shout. im unless at doing drawing stuff/photo work in photoshop but can UV wrap object well

Well that's what I was thinking - if you need a showreel edited together with music etc once you have your "footage" I'd be more than happy to do it. I have all the hardware/software at my "studio" for all editing, post, colour work and also outlay software for distribution to web, DVD - or whatever you need in practically any format.

PS: I know all too well about rendering time. Unless you have a £25k specced Mac then everything practically needs rendering before distribution.

PPS: If you need help with a 'site I can also assist with that.

sweet. that would be cool. will give you a shout when hopefully i've got my stuff ready for a reel.

currently got two 250 quid gpus rendering, but nothing compared to a workstation card which is double the price
