I must have sent a hundred job applications 9 times out of 10 I don't even get a response, when I do it's just to say that they 'recieved my application bla bla bla'
a while back I attended a job fair, an art related job fair, I marketed myself as a storyboard artist and got a bunch of feed back on my work. didn't actually get a job, but the feed back was actually relatively encouraging. I feel like it gave me more direction, I think my best chance at getting a job in this field is to develop portfolio work geared towards a very specific position, then market myself at events like that.
It gave me hope ... got me thinking and feeling like this may actually be possible ... I may actually be able to get a job doing this as a living.
but right now I feel like I need to revise my entire portfolio

I'm not really certain what to do with this. before I received some feed back in terms of ...
- applying more depth to the boards,
- and something about varying the camera angles as opposed to having shots that are dead on
- and having more foreground and background elements
I dunno if this is any better or what else I can do with it
I've seen some people doing this with their boards where they'll add gray scale flats, I think this is supposed to accentuate depth ...
I also attempted to do something with the line work where elements that are closer are bolder and farthest away are kinda faded and blurred out ...
does this really help? or am I investing time and energy into elements which aren't really beneficial to the boards?
