Tim,
Did you know that you typed that message two days in the future (Oct. 26). Funny that I could read it and it’s only Oct. 24th.
By the way, I got my first job using AE when the client called CoSA and asked if there was anyone in LA who knew how to use After Effects version 1. At the time, you could count the number of AE users in LA on one hand.
Somehow I don’t think my story will help anyone. Unless of course they are also working two days in the future and so know in advance which jobs are going out for bids. Maybe you are on to something!
