Hasta La Motion!

Hi,

i would really appreciate your input. I have 1 year experience working basically as a 2D Generalist for TV. Did everything from Roto/Paint to 3D Tracking and Set Extensions. (Did everythin in After Effects) I really enjoyed the work, despite the long hours etc.

Unfortunately there was no real possibility for growth, so i quit. I maybe able to get into a big commercial facility as a jr. compositor. I have the chance to learn Nuke/Flame amongst other things.
My problem is i do not know anything about commercial work and i´m a bit sceptical as i really enjoyed doing tv/film stuff. On the other hand this seems to be a big chance for me and at the end its compositing is it? I don´t know, with tv/film work i can really imaging what im doing as there are plenty making ofs etc. I kinda associate commercials more with motion design and 3D. I´m aware that companys like mpc/the mill to features as well as commercials, this job though would be in a "commercials only" company.

Is there a big difference doing commercials? I guess the pace is different, but is there anything major, or anything specifically to consider ? I would really look forward to any kind of insight and pointers. I feel a bit lost at the moment and need to decide in the next few days.

Thank you for your time.
