The company of your dreams.
This is my plan, Im gonna see if they have any vacancies, if not, offer to work for very little money(as I dont have alot of stuff to pay for yet/still young) and if they dont go for that, offer to work for free for a couple of weeks.....
Good idea? Its a dvd authoring house with 3d/graphic/audio/editing departments and their work isnt exactly fantastic, but I want to do stuff for dvd intros/menus etc.
They dont realise it but they would benefit alot from me designing stuff for them, it sounds biug headed but, the would...............and you dont get anywhere in this game without smacking your lips round your own trumpet and giving it a toot!
By trumpet, i do actually mean trumpet.
How should i go about geting in? has anyone else come accross this?

mak, Im not sure the plan off attack you should take, but I think you should go for it. You have nothing to lose by attempting to get in there. Good Luck my man.

I dont know about this services fer free thingy. In Melbourne a lot of the big advertising agencies have been poaching clients by giving away free design work. Makes things even tighter for Design Agencies. Knock-on Effect, mayhaps.

mak, that portfolio is tight. especially the artwork section, would work great in dvd authoring. Do you have a contact at this company?
sorry about the layman term "do video"

hey mr dobolina, thanks very very much about the portfolio comments, Ive recently (4days ago) re-designed it, i hated the other one.
much appreciated.
Yeah, Im doing a title intro for a producer whos doing a commissioned documentry for Granada TV and he knows a at the company where i wanna work, he cleans up video etc, prepares it for dvd.
Ive asked him to phone the guy and get details of who i should be aiming my request at.

nice plan. do you have samples of dvd's that you have produced?
- _mak0
no, i'm not into producing dvd's.....
I just want to create the animated intro's and menus for them. Ive done some in the past in academic projects but I dont have the software to actually create authentic intros etc.
This is why i hope they will see my work, take me on board and then i can learn the real ropes, or just do other graphic related tasks
or if i were working there for free/very little money, i could see what software they used, and the whole proccess, which would be great.

Good luck... Also...If they're a DVD authoring house, you'd probably want to get up to speed with what you can and can't do with DVD.
