I currently work in a studio for the experience and learning. I plan to freelance in the future when I have more experience. I love reading threads like this because of that. My question is, how do you guys find work? I read a lot that people build contacts, but how do you leverage that for freelance work exactly? Do you…
I work at a game studio mainly because that was always my goal, and because I'm too afraid to rely only on freelance income. When I did freelance a lot, I did it on top of a full-time salary in Film VFX. @ysalex That rate seems really low for someone of your skill level. :(
I'm currently not working as artist, but I would like to start again and do it as freelance, however I know from previous experience that I really suck as public relation/sales person, selling myself and get contacts. I'm just not a people-person. So does anyone else do Freelance but not completely alone?
I see a lot of polycounters that looks happy freelancing. I'm wondering, how did you guys started? How do you get your first contract? You just contacted a shitload of studios? Used freelancing websites? I want to try and start getting some contracts, but i have a bit of a hard time understanding were to start. :P
