May 8, 2009 at 6:02 pmI want to meet the mastermind behind Bears Production. It reminds me of the After Last Season Trailer, only I actually feel bad for this/these guy/s.
Especially the logo, I mean, they were able to animate it decently, showing a little bit of competence, yet they use the spinning carousel pre-made thingy and the logo is the weirdest/creepiest thing I have ever seen… I dont even know…
Good Day

May 9, 2009 at 4:06 amThis makes me a bit sad. Someone is obviously wasting a lot of time and money on this, and its just going to end in disaster.
I was hoping for one “so bad its funny moment”. The closest I got was the music loop.
Sigh.

May 16, 2009 at 7:03 pmHere’s the thing: I believe that quality DOES win the day. In my racket, the concert design thing, there are 1000 hungry kids who will work for a bunk on a bus and beer money for every one guy like me. Yet I still get work. I think, I HOPE it’s because my stuff is ultra hot (as is y’alls, and I mean all y’all pretty much)… And so my stuff get’s seen, enjoyed, and I get hired because I really do make other people look great.
These guys are certainly going after it… They made the reel, produced the spot, bad though they may be. They will get work from it, definitely… There are millions and millions of people with decidedly medium sensibilities, and they will be comfortable or even joyful about hiring people with equally medium sensibilities. But there are also plenty of smart, perceptive, demanding clients out there who will continue to spend the right $$ to hire pros who know how to get it done. It’s a lesson I had to learn too early on. If you think a professional is hard on the budget just try hiring an amateur. Many smart people who commission video HAVE figured that out, and thank goodness.
I hope that if the zany Bears were to show up on this board we’d continue to be the wise and compassionate givers of knowledge. Clearly they need some. But they aint your competition Walter, that’s for d****d sure…
Happy Saturday guys…
