You said that design is so important. Look at the work of gkaster (now bright photon), he is not a designer as he points out in the interview with John Dickinson. And his work is much more fascinating than a lot of "designers" stuff. 2. Look up to the best: that is something that I would absolutely avoid if you are not as professional as those people. Otherwise once will get frustrated easily (that is an often given advice not only by me...). 3. Be cool! Ok, you probably will get good feedback being cool on the first meeting. But as I learned that "animation is concentration", I experienced that those guys being cool all the time tend to be the most annoying and hated people in every day business. Cheers.

And thank you for creating such a great online resource. Nick I'm kinda tearing my hair out here. I have graduated with A 4yr Bachelor of Music Composition/performance, and have since stumbled across an intense passion for video editing incorporating loads of effects assets to make these crazy and whacky clips . The Idea of going back to school for another several years doesn't really inspire me however I would like to move forward in the Digital Design Trade! How can I come out of this with the skill set required to produce outstanding work? Thanks Nick! example of my editing http://leightv.com/?p=905 Hi Nick!
