Hey guys check out the first clip of The A1A. We'll be there in May to premiere the First episode. Visit our profile and tell us what you think www. myspace. com/thea1a
We have a couple projects on our plate right now, but we're a little overbooked. We wanted to know if any of you or people you know are free and would be willing to work with us on it.
For clarity's sake here is a brief breakdown of the project: -After Effects or Otherwise Music Video -Create rooms using 2.5D style of animation -We have a bit of work done already and the edit just locked. It would be due in the beginning of Feb.
This is probably more work than 1 person can handle so we have money set aside to pay 2 or 3 people for a week or 2 on this, depending on how many people could be available. We are looking to get this going asap so please let us know if anyone is interested. We would prefer to have people work in-house here with us just so we can be available to help if needed.
Thanks and hope to hear from you all soon! You can email us at contact@ghosttownmedia.com if you are interested. Locals to Los Angeles only please.
Cool page ya guys got here! Glad to be your friend. Stop by my pics and vids on my page now and then when you get time. For any animation work of any kind, feel free to email Jeff at ffej1969@hotmail.com
Greetings Friend! We have new Kustomonsters Swag!
