I was being dramatic, I was suppose to have lunch with a guy that was starting a video/music studio downtown but that fell through, that reminds me I should hit him back up... even though I'm terrible at vfx work, maybe I could do some fancy 3D text or something...
anyway, its not like KS has a large CG/video game industry and I'm still in college.
HAHA! I love his letter about his dream job. After that how could they not hire him.
I don't keep my rejection letters. But I do keep the guidelines for all the art test I've been taking. Most of them are perfectly reasonable and normal, but some of them are pure insanity.

actually got invited to an interview once, but i didn't read it until weeks later because the email went into my spam folder for some reason. by then, i already had gotten a slightly unfriendly second email asking why i wasn't replying. i never replied

Love Schaffer's attitude. What a guy.
We owe alot of creativity value to someone such as this in our field!
Although thats not as good a story as when I worked in London and my A.D. got head hunted for his own job!!
