I've seen this guy post on a couple of freelance job sites, including ifreelance.com, looking for work done specifically in LW. The requirements were odd and vague, asking for initial sketches, models built or show where they came from, stills rendered then 20-30 second animation made. Despite the oddity of the listing, I just couldn't help myself and needed to know what the heck was up with this so I wrote a lot of questions about the project. Here's what I got as a response:

"This is actually a school project and i haven't got the time to do it, i also need to score in this project. I can send you the project outline if you want"

So some lazy bastard with some money wants to hire you to do all his work and then he'll pass it off as his own. Nice. On ifreelance.com his name is "S15Silvia". Here (http://www.project4hire.com/freelance_job_549.html) is the listing on project4hire.com (I don't think you need to register to see it).

Maybe some of you would have no problem with doing this for him for the money, but the whole thing turns my stomach.

Maybe he's just in training to become an agency creative director:)

Well at least he's asking and/or making his intentions clear...

Seen plenty other schemes where work is ripped off webpages etc. and sold/used as someone's collection.

I don't care all that much, but I can just see him asking after getting a job "so, how do I create a box??"
Belive me, it'll get back to him, one way or the other.
