Hey, Im not knocking Cali. Lord knows thats right where Im moving to pursue 3D animation work. Im only talking in regards to making money through advertising.

re: california

if it's advetising you want in califonia, then it is los angeles but if you want to actually get paid doing it, go to new york

but if your animation is related to the movies, there is also los angeles and there was a lot of work from george lucas and ilm in northern california before he moved most of that work to soho, london from marin

if your animation is related to gaming, i have no idea where those products are made

otherwise i think you will love califrnia

ps - foocha, if you're listening, congrats on 100!

Oops

I didnt mean I wanted to work in advertising. I meant that they make really great TV Ads that are pleasing to the eye, but less effective in regards to making sales. I could be off here, but I partially blame Apple for their lack of sales. The other half is people's complacency with their PC's.

Apple & Marketing

Try selling bacon in Israel, or mini skirts in Afghanistan.

Not very easy.

OK, now imagine trying to convince people to buy a PC with a non-standard operating system, expect them to pay more for the privilege and be happy about it.

I'd say Apple's marketing is nothing short of miraculous, and as a marketing professional, I find them insiprational.

No doubt about that !

I think you are stretching it here. I dont know for sure, but would love to see concrete numbers on what people do with their macs. How many use them just by choice, and how many use them because they are in the graphics and video industry or whatnot.

Well..some of us are inspired by...less....no not the right word....inspired by different things...or see it from another angle. I fault Mac, can criticize them. I see the glass as 95% empty..and not 5% full.

3D

Yeah, San Fran is where all the biggies are. Lucas, Dreamworks, Pixar, and even smaller, but notable studios like Tippett.

I just wish it was warmer there.
MMMMMM. Bacon.
