Richard,

lock yourself away for 6-months in a distraction-free, window-less basement
with your computer, some stimulating reference material, a small stove with
water supply, some non-perishable foods, and toilet facilities. Just live and
breath 3d Studio for this period of self-imposed sequestration. Once you start
hallucinating you may produce some really cool animations where quality, but
not quantity is the keyword. Record your best stuff onto betaSP and edit with
music etc. Distribute your demo reel to the right people and IF you have any
talent, you'll get a job.
I'm only partly joking here. Myself and probably others on the forum are in a
position to hire upcoming talent and a great demo reel is the key to entry,
even without a lot of production experience. Therefore the investment in time
and self-sacrifice can pay off handsomely.
