Serious Time #2 Some Great Tips from Animation Recruiters

This article was exactly what the title states, these are some great tips from animation recruiters. These tips range from being aware of trends to only having 30 seconds to make a good impression. The article is short and to the point and is easy to follow. For example, one of the tips were make sure your demo reel links work. Furthermore, the tips also go into just being simple, to not lose your audience, being unique because recruiters don't enjoy watching the same stuff. Make an impact, you want them to remember you, but don't be offensive and know the company that you are sending the reel to, like they say you have 30 sec. make them count. Also don't be cliche you should always try to be different, don't follow the trends. One more tip worth mentioning, be motivated. what i mean by that is don't stop animating just because one reel didn't work, keep trying eventually you'll get somewhere.

Just like the article my opinions are to simple, I liked it. You know it's a good article when you watch all of the videos and read every word on it and most importantly that you want to for that matter. This article is more toward the animation side of the digital media class but still it was very helpful and entertaining especially the videos of the reels. I just believe that you got to keep trying to get somewhere. "The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!"- Rocky this quote is the very definition of what I believe in. Never ever give up, there is never a reason to do so. I agree on everything that was said in this article, it's all very true. I learned some new forms of comedy and how you can grip a viewer from only a 30 sec. reel.

And on that note this concludes Serious Time # 2. I hope you have all enjoyed on how I viewed this article. Next blog will be later in the week, but until then i will see all your lovely faces later. Goodbye.
