30 things at 30 Mar 26, 13, 10:51 a.m.

Hello QBN, I wanted to share with you a video I made out of silliness on the weekend, where I compiled, in the form of GIF animations, 30 things I know about myself on my 30s...

To be honest, this list I made in a bit of a sad day... but decided to turn each of the items into simple animations.

Let me know what you think!

PS: if you are in Buenos Aires, lets have a drink! There are already 2 of us here having a blast with so much Fernets... right Chimp??

Freelancer-Friendly Countries/Visa? Feb 20, 13, 8:09 a.m.

Hello all!

I am here wondering, what and to where my next move would be, but I definitely adore my freelance life, and not ready to give up on it just yet.

Right now I am living in Buenos Aires, and doing some gigs as a film director and motion designer from time to time, but next year, I am already looking forward to move again :)

I know for instance that The Netherlands has a friendly police for freelancers that are Non-EU Nationals - ZZP. Also Germany has an option of visa for freelancers....

Does anyone know any other country that has these kind of options?

My new demo reel (and a confession) Mar 12, 12, 3:52 a.m.

Good morning guys!! Here is my latest demo reel.
http://vimeo.com/36228172

Its some old works from 2007 until now...

and the confession I have to make is... I am really tired of Motion Design... maybe this profession has a very short lifespan?

I want a change...

Australia in 2 weeks :) Nov 5, 11, 12:08 p.m.

Hello guys.
Here is me again, moving for the THIRD time in just one year!

Long story short... returned from Copenhagen back to Brazil, and after spending some time here, realized that this isnt the place for me anymore...
got hired by a nice studio in Canada, but the visa processing time is just... too much for someone who is seeking for a place to live before his 30's!

So I am going to give Australia a try... going initially for business with a director friend of mine, but of course, I am gonna try to find a job eventually...

How are things Down Under?
Do you think I can try my luck in seeking for a job over there? Being a foreigner and all?

Thanks!

Amsterdam! Mar 4, 11, 9:20 a.m.

Hola senhores!
Im here in Amsterdam for this month! Doing some freelance and discovering a bit the city for the first time :)

Lets catch up for a beer? :)

Big thanks!

Lost! Where to go!? Nov 1, 10, 1:13 a.m.

Guys guys! Good morning to you all.

Here I am, my contract with the Danish firm I work for has been terminated, and as I was already planning to leave Denmark, I am kinda excited, but also a bit nervous, searching for jobs, applying and all that process all over again..

But one thing I havent decided yet.. is.. where to go?

Do you have any suggestions?

I been thinking a lot about Portugal.. Australia...

If you have any suggestions, let me know :)

Do you guys have any recommendation? Cool online radio? Design related podcast? Something that will keep me sane?

Have a nice friday ya'll!

Using work experience in education. Aug 16, 10, 6:29 a.m.

Hey guys, I was wondering about this after chatting with a friend who has finished his masters. I was looking for possibilities in using my work experience - 10 years this past january - to get into a university, and save off some time, in any possible way.

This friend of mine, mentioned it is possible, in some masters courses, to use work experience instead of bachelors degree... can anyone confirm on that?

I am trying to step up on my game, and make immigration papers a bit easier on my side at the same time, but I really dont see myself sitting on a chair and hearing "Ok.. this is Photoshop... this software does... this... this...".

Fab.

Saturday night!!! Nov 28, 09, 9:36 a.m.

and there is way too many options of party in Copenhagen. I have already finished a whole bottle of wine by myself, putting a wig and my fantasy of Russel Brand, and I will see what happens next... now training my British accent..

what you guys up to?

Life/Salary/Living in Buenos Aires Nov 25, 09, 1:46 a.m.

Hey there folks, how you all doing?

I am here, wondering around... and thinking, you know what, maybe I should go back to South America, and start my life in Argentina!! Buenos Aires seems pretty cool and I might have one or two job offers there, plus, I dont need bullsh..t visa or anything to live there, since Im Brazilian.

So... are there any qbn'ers from Buenos Aires? What would you say about cost of living/salary over there, can you make "ok" bucks to live nicely and all? And how is life there?

Would be awesome to know these things!

Take care!

just got fired :( Nov 10, 09, 2:37 a.m.

....and if i dont find a job in Copenhagen soon, I will be deported back to Brazil :(

If someone knows any job in Denmark for me, it would be such a great thing guys :(
Im a bit depressed, i was planing to bring my sister over for Christmas, because it would be too depressing spending xmas over alone here... but now i have to cancel the whole thing :(

I am very sad right now...

Awesome tattoo shops in London Nov 5, 09, 2:56 a.m.

Heyyy guys! at the 18th i will be arriving at London to visit some folks, get drunk, and catch up with friends in general... but i was wondering..
since none of the tattoo artists here in Copenhagen were my taste.. maybe London is the place to get it!! Does anyone know any cool place?

Also, anybody wanna catch up with me? Im a nice, small (sometimes smelly) latino, that can speak many languages (when I am drunk). I will be staying only 5 days though.

Looking for this sitcom... Oct 27, 09, 4:53 a.m.

I've seen this posted several times on QBN, but I dont remember the actor's name, or what is the show that he is in called :( But well, he was sort of a badass in these videos you guys posted here, he had mullets, and very rude to people, specially in the end to his girlfriend he says
"Look honey, i love you, but you dress like a whore... " or something like that.

It was hilarious! It made my day! Does any of you know who that guy was? Whats the name of that show?? I really want to see if its gonna be shown in Europe or something :)

I cant even find the thread where he was on here.

Cheers fellas!

Its friday!! Oct 9, 09, 6:41 a.m.

and im feeling gay! (on the happiness sense of the word). What you guys got planned for the weekend? Im heading to some cultural events that is happening all over Copenhagen, yay, lots of drinking, painting in walls and more drinking. I love this city.

PS: Does anybody still use this word to describe happiness? hehe
