Mere moments ago I accepted a position as Lead Animator at Digital Production Solutions in Newark, NJ. I don’t have an exact start date, but it’ll be somewhere around the 20th of this month. Not much time, so it’s on to the great house/apt hunt.
Thanks to everyone who offered support during the dark days of unemployment. Your notes were much appreciated! 
Cheers!
Justin
Yeah!!! :applause: :applause: :applause:
Though it’s not a surprise to anyone who has seen your work!!
Lead animator! Wow! Just goes to show how far a quality demo reel can go. They made the right choice too.
The messege i just typed got erased when i tried to save it…Server was too busy…
Congratulations on the new job Justin.
I too reciently got a position as a lead animator. It’s the new digital department for a small design company, so it may or not be the same as what you’ll go through…But if it is, then prepeare to…
…Your animators will be sweet as pie and never address you as a superior, Instead some of them might challenge you to a game of “Let’s see who the true bad ass is here”…I found that one fun, although it left a pissy smell in the air enduring,and it’s healthy for the project too. Only thing is you have to know how good they are at what they are doing and trust they can have it done before the deadline. And have a back up plan just incase something really goes wrong.
…Again if your job has the same simularity, you will be considered the source of all things good and bad. For the making of our first project, Iv’e learned that it is a good idea to keep detailed postings to the director and the boss, on the progress of the work.
These are just a few things i’ve learned from my recient exsperiences. In the end you’ll develop a freindship with everyone you work with. And yes it is a beautiful job.
Congrats! Very well deserved!
I live a few minutes north of Newark. Watch your car - they ranked number one in the country for car jackings for a long time.
congrats 
lead animator sounds really tough :bowdown:
have no doubt you fit into this position
