>> I think I might learn to resent that! (not) << Andy, I worded that very carefully. <g> I said _most_ of the best animators live in California. That does not imply the best animators only live in California. The fact is there are more 3DS'ers per Capita in California than anywhere. And given that there is strong industry here for animation there are quite a few "best" ones. The fact is there are "best" 3DS'ers all over the World. But as there are so many 3DS'ers in California and many many "best" ones it seems foolish to restrict to a specific geographic area. I'd like to see this psychological barrier broken down. I have successfully tele-computed cross country and I see it as the wave of the future. I'd like to see more management take the view with corporate downsizing etc. that this is a viable alternative. This would benefit people like you in England, or those in Germany, Africa or wherever, as well as those of us residing in California. Alot of people just don't want to give up the control, but its more a question of what type of control. Animators are a pretty independent bunch anyway. And with ISDN or T2 its not unrealistic to have global reach. This was my point really. But I couldn't resist taking a poke at a New Yorker saying local talent only. And very accurately I might add. <g> >> Yes I know almost ZERO work appears on the nets, therefore the best work can't be seen. << There seems to be a lot of difference of opinion on this but I totally concur with your observations. I have had many clients who will not allow me to show work outside that I've done for them. Other people act like this is the exception not the rule. Not in my experience. -JE
