Busy Day, let's see.

So Red Man has been put into gear, drowning in pencil tests and inbetweens. But today I'm off to meet a sound designer/composer. Seems promising, after all, creative sound is half the battle for any film. But before that I have a meeting in Picadilly with some...dude, who wants to 'chat' about me being a concept artist on his film. I find such meets annoying I must say. You always meet the worse people. This guy sometime , Jason Young, not only came late but decided to sip tea, look at me through narrow eyes like he was this guy (minus the success and charm):

All because what- I told him I couldn't tell him how I would storyboard a film for him if he had no script to show. He just came with the prose the story would be built around. Naturally I ended up giving ideas, he took that and I got screwed. All because I simply pointed out the natural packing orders of things (idea, script, story art... not idea, story art, script). You want to illustrate an idea, go for concept art, operative word concept.

Generally speaking, thats the whole idea of having a showreel. What you see is what you get. You like it, check my availability. If I am available, decide if you want to hire me then we can meet and discuss; if it doesn't work out youll know by the end of that meeting, and youll find someone else. But I have a feeling this meeting is going to be a lot of "how long have you storyboarded for" "how long does it take" "have you done anything like this before" Did I not send you my CV?

Other stuff, Conversationing, a short I storyboarded as part of film London is almost done, and they will be circulating it like blunts across the film festivals. Didnt only do the boards but end credits as well (animation). Look out for that. One of the boards I did:

But nevertheless, I go on. Hopefully today is as productive as yesterday. S & J's website is up. I'm thinkin of changing the index page to be more inviting, but its pretty much done.
