As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!
Know what Furrykef. You're right. Of course AC is egging me. I'm just going along with it :] Or, I was. I feel I've made my point. ( though it's been kind of ignored so AC and others can poke the beehive to see what kind of reaction they/you can get. I'm not biting. I'm just gonna....go awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....................................
Again, I never CLAIMED anything, I never once said I was GOING to make the show, or that it WOULD be made. I just said I was working on a pitch. I never ONCE promised ANYTHING. THAT is why I'm back. because peoplecome here and talk about me as if I made these grand claims. No. I was simply pressured into revealing my PLANS ( plans, not claims ) and it was a mistake. You'd all been through the Rich Kuta debacle, and it was understandable you'd be upset. The Sonic fandom isn't exactly full of public WINNERS ( See what's his face....SPAX3 for example ) So I get it. I get the suspicion, the resentment...I understand why it happened. I'm just trying to defend myself from the accusations that had popped up on this site. That's really it. I'm not here to say I'm better than any of you. I'm just confident in my abilities. Some people can't take such simple answers. They want more, and really, I've none to give other than what I've told you. I don't like facebook, OR the internet as a tool to showcase art, I'm curmudgeony and defensive, fat and out of shape, silly and strange, in other words, I don't fit the Hollywood profile. But there's more people like ME that work here than A-list movie stars. And as for Hollywood itself, well, it's a damn DUMP. I wouldn't live or work here, but I HAVE to.
You are not an actor, there is a big difference between an behind the scenes artist, and an actor.
Animators are actors with pencils. We just get to work in movies and TV without being followed around by paparazzi. We're slobs no one gives a shit about. It's wonderful
Great then it must be there yes for folks to see, yes?
You say the IMDB page is yours but yet you didn't have to make an account for all that stuff to be there
Do you think Brad Pitt made his own IMDB article when that site first came online? I assure you, he did not.
You also mention that its other peoples jobs (in your case you are a artist of some sort) to find out who you are, where you worked, how long, what your contact info is, who your agent is, what your resume is
That's my agent's job. To find me work and to contact studios for pitches/etc.
Well most artists have facebooks
I have a facebook page. But I hate Facebook. I barely use it. And I have an agent, so I don't eed facebook OR a webpage to get work. I APPLY to the studios. I'm a member of the local 839 IATSE Animation Union ( look it up ) They ALSO can help you find work. I also pay dues to this union, which provides my health insurance.
Cause lets face it any work is good work today in this crappy economy.
For some people. I'm doing fine, because i went to college and earned a degree that allows me to make more money.
The way to go today is social networking.
Again, for some. I get my work on my talent.
My question is, why is it you don't have these necessary things out there for people to see, I find that baffling and illogical in this tough economic time?
Because I left animation for five years. I grew tired of the industry. I came back to it in 2008, and have been steadily emplyed at the same job at FOX for the last three years. In order to get that job, I did a test ( yes, you have to do a test ) I did a damn good job on it, and got the job. The same way I got my job at other studios. By applying with a portfolio and proving to them I was capable of doing what the job requires. It's really not all that complicated. If you can draw, and you have a fairly good grasp of the animation process, you can get a job. You don't have to be in some "club" to get animation work. You just have to apply like any other job.
