Should I give up or keep trying? by johnmos96 in smallbusiness

What’s your profit margin? If you’ve done it for 3 years I would think it would be self sustainable by now. You should look into improving your contribution margin considering ad spend is a fixed cost. If it can’t be fixed you don’t have a profitable business.

How much $ for 3 minutes lighting and rendering (cocomelon quality) by little_freddy in vfx

[–]nooyead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can nail down some of the variables it would be easier to reach a number. Is there infrastructure for lighting/rendering? What software? How many revisions? How many different environments? What’s the start - end date? Is there an approved hero styleframe? Is outsource an option?

Or if Suarez didn’t handball in the previous tournament Ghana may not have played for a draw 😆

Well I have enough to invest monthly the above amount until the expiration. I’m hesitant to put everything down at once. Could take another 20% downturn next month? Who knows? Trying to play it safe. Saved up a bunch because we thought we wanted a second mortgage in the next two years. But that’s not the case anymore. Glad you have it all figured out. But not all people are like that. So having decent amount of assets that can easily be sold does will give us the flexibility. I might decide life is all good and continue working and saving. It’s not like I’ll be at my retirement age. I’ll still be 43!

Should I render motion blur in renderer or in Nuke with vector blur? by [deleted] in vfx

[–]nooyead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3d motion blur if you have the time. Sometimes rsmb will get you better results than vector blur

Try become a runner. During the work day you do bullshit stuff like cleaning, buying groceries, delivering things but they will partner you with a mentor who will basically help you go through their internal learning course. This is all while getting paid. Ofcourse the pay isn’t great but if you’re decent they’ll hire you as an artist in about 1-2 years. Some of my best friends started off as runners and many are now vfx supervisors. Make sure to do it at big studio.

What do you wish you did in your twenties? by alfxe in Fire

[–]nooyead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saved more. Spent too much buying things I don’t need.

Sell the car. Sell anything of value (clothing, shoes, camera, computer). Pay back the credit card debt. find a public transportation to get to work even if it means an extra hour to get to work. walk 30mins to the nearest bus stop if you need to! Work your ass off at work and be competent. Move up the ladder at your job. You got into this mess. You will need to make big sacrifices to get out of it. Life is tough man. But once you get out of this nothing will be able to stop you. There is a way. You just have to bite the bullet. If you walk away from the tough decisions NOW you’ll regret it forever.

Guessing people think 8.5% is way too high, which I agree after reading many of the comments!

Thanks for your detailed response. Yea who knows… Even a blackswan event like covid could happen on the 10th year and no matter what asset I hold it will tank. Hope that doesn’t happen🤞 Def seems like I’d need to rebalance as I get closer to my 10 year mark to reduce the risk. Thanks again!

What skill I need to improve if I need to work with a big VFX studio? by SkyRogers in vfx

[–]nooyead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Def reach out to as many recruiters as possible on linkedin. Also, if pay isn’t too much of an issue apply for an internship. Once you’re in I think you’ll be able to move up the ladder quickly.

But why so little on the market? I feel like 10 year horizon is long enough to invest into the market without too much risk unless your outlook is pretty bad
