My favorite is (and I get this kind of email at least once a month): "I have written a children's book and I need an animator to bring it to life. I don't have a budget, but you will get a lot of exposure and I will use you for all my future projects once this one gets off the ground. I only need a very short animation.. probably only around 15-20 minutes, so it won't take you very long to do the work. But it needs to be the same level of quality as Shrek or Toy Story, so I need your assurances that you'll produce high-quality work..."
Classic. Someone I've never heard of, with a book nobody has bought wants me to work for free so I can get the chance to have them hire me again someday once they hit it big... -Paul On Fri, Jun 27, 2014 at 10:37 AM, Tim Crowson < tim.crow...@magneticdreams.com> wrote: > Everybody contact him, tell him exactly what he wants to hear, then start > underbidding... > -Tim > > > > On 6/27/2014 9:19 AM, Stefan Kubicek wrote: > > I was torn between flagging it "prohibited" and "best of".
