Hey, so what’d i miss?
I hope this little corner of the world hasn’t fallen to shit as well.I burned out on film advertising (that industry is fucking brutal for no real reason) and took a couple years off to work on myself and some personal projects. Doing consulting from home while i try to not catch the plague
- I feel you on film advertising. I worked the FYC campaigns for two major film studios in 2018. Not exactly easy work and the longest hours ive worked in a whileshellie
- Yeah, the hours were killing me. I reached 80 one week and that was the final strawscarabin
- Oh this little corner is dusted, you've missed some boring drama. Glad to see you back.garbage
- Welcome back, glad you're ok now. This place hasn't changed much since you left, bennn got a new job. Nothing else important happened.zarkonite
- set had a rage-quit after making the mistake of posting his face, a few dyslexic dimbulbs have appeared, and we all need to work on some collaborative project.garbage
- Ho yes, you are the satanist! I am still a lurker. Welcome backomer
- That’s too bad; i liked set.
Thanks, Omer!scarabin - I just returned cause I couldn't miss the apocalypse...oey_oey
- Of course QBN's fallen to shit. it does every year and has done so ever since we all first got here all those years ago... .
Glad to see you're still kicking!Nairn - https://www.youtube.…Fax_Benson
- pics or it didn't happendasohr
- Set didn’t leave because of the pics - he was cool with that. It was the 5g thing that triggered itGnash
- Welcome back, scar :) thought we might have lost you at a burning manGnash
- 5G is bad for you. look what it did to set.pango
- Welcome backSalarrue
- Welcome back... I hope you are well. It's hard to stay positive in film advertising. I think we crossed paths with a lot of the same peeps. I remember youjonny_quest_lives
- were considering becoming a Finisher and I refrained from chiming in as I was a Key Art Finisher for a good while and it's perhaps the most undervaluedjonny_quest_lives
- brutal role in Key Art... Both the burn out rate for Art Directors and Finishers is spectacularly high.jonny_quest_lives
- Welcome back home, prodigal son!OBBTKN
- that is all i will now go back to lurking... Probably comment on a post next year.jonny_quest_lives
- Welcome back!ayport
- What are you doing these days, Jonny? I’m still thinking about where i can take my particular set of skills outside the industryscarabin
- Welcome backinstrmntl
- Sup homey.DRIFTMONKEY
- I started in the packaging field so i've always bounced between packaging and key art... it's getting harder and harder to take comps to to finish as thejonny_quest_lives
- builds aren't getting better and the deadlines don't improve. having said that a few of my friends are actually enjoying doing Key Art for Netflixjonny_quest_lives
- Hey! Welcome back scarabin! :) Hope it's for good and not just a chime in.Bennn
- i heard some crazy rumor only 2 to 3 shops still work actual studio theatrical releases everyone is on streaming key art.jonny_quest_lives
- I've done streaming key art but more on the UI side so it's not as prestige as the OOH Marquee Art the Streaming platforms releasejonny_quest_lives
- Howdy Bennn! I’ll be around for a while. Quarantine’s got me starved for interactionscarabin
- but it's volume based much like home entertainment used to be and the Netflix UI needs multiple versions of the art to steer users into selecting something tojonny_quest_lives
- Netflix stuff is fun ‘cause they want pieces from every conceivable marketing angle. Their algorithm works out which works best for individual usersscarabin
- stream so your constantly revising 10 to 20 comps with the client then uploading to test/prototypejonny_quest_lives
- I was doing retouching for Beats by Dre for a while; they pay well and have fun benefits. A finisher would find that stuff a breezescarabin
- yeah i am a bit worried about the slowdown as i wrap up projects...Covid has really shaken up the agencies right now...jonny_quest_lives
- Agencies developing a remote wfh workflow with NDA heavy assets literally overnight 90 days back was bizarre... like the wild west. no stuff is just gettingjonny_quest_lives
- pushed back delayed or straight to streaming.jonny_quest_lives
- 'sup scarabin. glad ur around.bezoar
- You're still mentioned whenever a goth meme passes by. QBN didn't forget about you. Btw, tiger fights like no onesrhadden
- Haha. Love you guysscarabin
- @gnash I thought set quit because of lady problems and the photoshop thread pushed him over the edge? 5G did him in?garbage
- (it's kind of hilarious to picture a scenario where that face is burning down towers)garbage
