3:30 - http://thisisdk.com/ (Digital Kitchen) (DK) a “creative design company” designing spaces and places
3:45 - Motion design has diversified onto all kinds of “canvasses”, far beyond broadcast media.
4:55 - Brett Morris with https://www.rangerandfox.tv/ (Ranger and Fox) is an example of someone proving that a small company (two staff and some freelancers) can now compete directly with the likes of DK.

16:00 - http://www.nodefest.com.au/ (Node Fest) and Brett Morris
17:00 - In the last ten years the motion community has exploded. “It’s a full time job just keeping up with the community!”
18:30 - Ryan: “I always encourage graduates to network:” There are too many people graduating with no “workplace skills”
19:35 - Ryan: “After graduation I would spend all my time networking and the last two years before graduation as well: doing personal projects and sending them out on Twitter and Slack.”
19:48 - “How do I get to work at Buck?”: Find junior animators who work there and reach out to...

Fed up with the Magical Realm's obsession with large-scale fantasy warfare, Jack the Wizard decides to migrate to the sanest place he can think of: Melbourne's Western suburbs. After accidentally causing Flinders Street Station to turn ever so slightly into a giant Fish monster, his existence (and that of his fellow magical immigrants) is revealed to the Australian public. Fearing a backlash against himself and his kind, Jack swears off using magic in a bid to better assimilate into human life. But of course, fitting in was never going to be easy when people tend to get a bit 'explode-y' whenever you sneeze...

This episode Rich Nosworthy is on the show. A talented 3D motion designer. Recently he's worked on projects for Google and Adobe. I discovered his work for Pause Fest. We discuss this project and his brilliant character animation for 99 frames. I asked Rich how he got his start in the industry and what inspired his migration to New Zealand. We also discuss the challenges of working remotely on international projects. On this episode Rich and I discuss a lot of resources that we both used to develop our 3D knowledge.
