This book is a very detailed and helpful book on what it takes to survive this industry. Lots of tips for how to improve your resume and insider information on what employers are looking for. Excellent book!

This is my first review of any book ever, and I was impressed enough by the quality and content of this book to write this review. I am a 3d modeler in the process of putting together my reel, with this book I can proceed with the confidence that I now know everything that I need to know to put together the best reel I possibly can.

This book is an invaluable guide to putting together a top quality demo reel that is sure to be "watched" by a reviewer, lets put it that way. If you are an artist with talent, then this is the book that you will need to help you best showcase that talent to a potential employer in the form of a demo reel. Nearly every question you may have in regard to demo reel format and requirements are covered thoroughly in this book, and the entire chapter devoted to the advice of working cg professionals to the entry level artist (with talent) desiring to enter the cg industry is a must read. Overall, if you are serious about putting together a strong reel that will stand out in its quality, as well as in making an excellent impression of yourself as a professional seeking employment in the cg industry, GET THIS BOOK, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

This book is focused on the job-hunting process - demo reels, resume, interviewing, salary negotiation. I found the chapter on freelancing, as well as the reference sections (books to read, animation studios and post houses) most enlightening. The compilation of animation studios and post houses alone makes this book well worth the money.

I also recommend "Getting a Job in Computer Graphics, Real Advice from Reel People", which has a more extensive discussion on what skills one needs for the different career paths and has a lot of interviews with people from the industry. The two books complement each other very well.

So far this book has been very informative to read. the only issue I have with it (a very annoying issue) is the listing of companies and schools in the resource section. There are A TON of listings, but they are organized alphabetically by company name NOT by location!!!!

quote from book ( p.211)

"There may be a company that you'd really like to work for just down the street but, without the address listed [in this book], you'd never know that it was there"

Ok, so if I don't know the company exists, I'm probably not going to know the name of the company, so why list if alphabetically by company name??? What would be great was if there was a section for the U.S. and within that section, each state had it's own listing of companies. Same with schools. Your probably not going to be looking for a school by the name, its more about location. And if you do know the name of a school your interested in you probably already know its location. On the other hand, If you know the location you want to live in, you have to find out what schools/companies are there.

Anyway, I ended up taking a highlighter to the book and highlighting the cities that i was interest in, each with their own color.

This book is still great though, it has the listings of companies and schools, you just have to do a little extra work to scan through them all.

This is a great book written by a solid guy in the business. All the research he has provided is a big boost for people wanting to know where the opportunities are within the animation and visual effects industry.
If animation is what you want to do then this is book that will give you the goods to getting the gig. I own 2 Post-Secondary 3D Animation and Multimedia schools and this will be required reading for the students.

Shalizel

This book would benefit anyone who is thinking about getting into the computer animation field. Just the list of all the production and game companies is worth the price of the book. As a graduate of a computer animation school, there were many tips and suggestions that I never learned in school and that everyone would benefit from. This is a MUST HAVE book!!!
