Need a partner

I am doing a rebranding for a local TV station – nothing really big. The problem is that I’m only a beginner when it comes to compositing and cgi, so I am looking for someone with some experience to help me out with this project. There is no money involved so I am counting on people who would like to gain more experience working on this project. You can even add the resulting videos to your reel. Time isn’t a factor here but the sooner we are getting started, the better.

If there is someone interested just let me know so I can give you further details about the project. Thanks!
