I’m actually working in QLD right now, but I spent the last two years down in Sydney at Ambience, and I’ll be back freelancing in Sydney again at a few places in Janurary.

Everyone should start attending the DLF meetings down there :slight_smile: Seems it’s always just a bunch of ambience and animal logic guys drinking there!

Hey Im in perth just got out of highschool and am looking for courses in 3d ive tried the local tafe and stuff but you have to do like 3 other courses in like graphic design to get to 3d does anyone know how i can get some training or anything to help me on my way? if not ill have to pursue graphic design which is much less exciting for me…

amckay

  • your showreel looks great, although I do think the cuts are to fast. Very cool though

J0hnnyKn0xville: don’t know if tafe is the right way to go (never heard good things about them) but I do think you will benefit from doing as many graphic design and art courses as possible.

Well, I’m and Adelaidien wanna be animator. Wish I could go to the aeaf but cant afford the tickets and planefare. theres a whole day on ILM, should be very interesting.

Hi DrAdamDinosaur, thanks for the feedback, I’ve now made the final cut which I think is a lot better. There might be one or two cuts which are off but most of it works togeather really well. I’ve also chosen a way better track and reditted heaps of it

Believe me, I have so much to bitch about re: Telstra. I can’t get DSL or Cable from my house - and the max dialup connection speed is 28k! Now they want me to buy a Satellite… :annoyed:

The pain that I have to go through when accessing CGTalk’s gallery!

Hi Leonard

Believe me, I have so much to bitch about re: Telstra. I can’t get DSL or Cable from my house - and the max dialup connection speed is 28k! Now they want me to buy a Satellite…

I know your pain…I am in exactly the same boat, but at least I have 56k…man, how do you do it?

The Government has just had an investigation into services in the country areas and it has come back as thumbs up?? That’s great, but what about the city areas??

Very frustrating…

Right here dark lotus: www.agdc.com.au

Yeah, all of Australia, both rural and city areas are really lagging behind. In a few years there are gonna be serious problems when everyone realises that the lines running to all the new appartments, etc (in melbourne) can’t even upport ISDN, let alone get cable or ADSL. Compare this to Japan and South Korea, where the entire country seems to be on high quality broadband (I think…dont hold me to this :D)

#53

Are you talking about that pair gain issue Leonard?? That sucks…

I just read today at www.whirlpool.com.au that the South Korean government has just announced it will spend $20 billion over the next five years to make sure that EVERY house has access to broadband Internet… Makes me jealous!

#54

Pair gain, and my house is more than 4km from the nearest exchange.

It’s just rooted that satellite connections are so much more expensive than the other broadband services.
