VFX Marketplace

Hi all,

We have just opened a new forum where people can post paid work requests, and where users can bid on jobs and projects.

Take a look here:

http://www.vfxtalk.com/forum/vfx-marketplace-f138.html

Paid requests can be anything from solutions to small problems that you dont have time to figure out, to larger jobs such as roto-cleanups, matte paintings, etc… to full on animation and compositing jobs!

We will promote this to the production companies in our database and to our indi filmmaker community, but feel free to use this at work as well as a quick way to get professional work done when you are on a deadline!

Guidelines Rules and Regulations!

The VFX Marketplace

The VFX Marketplace is a freelance jobs and paid work forum for people looking to pay for help on their existing projects and deadlines! You post what you need done, or what you need help with, and your budget if you have one and users from the community will bid on your job.

Quote:

Disclaimer
We take no responsibility for the work done and all transactions (financial or otherwise) will be between the job poster and the person or company they select to do the job.


You will need to post at the beginning of your threads:

1. Job title, type of work and the time-frame you need to have it done in
2. You can either add your budget or leave it out and ask users to bid on what you need done.
3. You do not need to add a detailed description, that’s up to you!

Quote:

We have some very talented artists here, but also have beginners and this is a open marketplace. We suggest you research the bidders properly!


Bidders:

When you reply to a job you need to let them know what you would charge to get the job done and the time you think that it will take you!

Quote:

Your post also needs to contain a link to your freelance profile or facility listing to help job seekers see what kind of work you have done!


Credibility

We strongly suggest that all individuals bidding on jobs have a listing in our freelance forums with links to their portfolios etc as this will probably become mandatory at some point to help job seekers.

We strongly suggest that all companies bidding on jobs have a listing in the VFXtalk facilities board here:

Feedback!

We will be monitoring this forum and based on the feedback we get we will implement a rating system, to rate the jobs and people or companies that did the job as well as a auctioning engine so you can ‘auction’ jobs off

Actors supporting the vfx guys who make their careers

Did anyone here know this?

28 MAY 2003
Man of the moment Keanu Reeves has shown his generosity by giving away £50 million of his earnings from the Matrix sequels. The 38-year-old decided to hand over the money to the unsung heroes of the sci-fi blockbusters – the costume and special effects teams.

Keanu is expected to make a total of £70 million from the films, thanks to a deal which guarantees him a 15 per cent profit-share, so he will still net around £20 million. Asked about his prodigious act of generosity, the actor said he already had enough cash. "Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries," he declared.

And it’s not the first time the Beirut-born star has shown his jaw-dropping benevolence. While shooting the films in Australia he amazed the team of stuntmen by giving them each a £6,000 Harley Davidson motorcycle. And the actor, whose sister has leukaemia, has also channelled millions into cancer research.

His gift to the Matrix series’ 29 behind-the-scenes whiz-kids will see each of them receiving £1.75 million.

GTX 470 Vs GTX 285

I want to buy a new graphics card and I confused about weather to go for GTX 285 or 470.

These days all software’s are being launched with GPU acceleration which runs on cuda technology, which means the more cuda cores we have the better performance.

GTX 470 has almost double the no of cuda cores than that of 285.

Am I right……. What should I go for….
