Wonderful! I love your bent of humor. There must be a way for you to do this commercially; how much have you tried?

Thank you Paul
I believe and hope that my current "cheap animation style" project in YouTube may help me get more clients
I also used google AdWords service for a while, but stopped after a year (out of budget), I got a few jobs but really small.
Most of my projects for clients now are focused on Music, but I would love to do more animation projects also of course.

Any Tips to get clients and costumers around the globe?
Thanks ahead!

Sorry about my bad English.

[Paul Fierlinger]

What country are you from; I mean, where do you live?

[dan]

I'm from Israel, and animation business around here... isn't something that people ready to pay for, unlike most of my costumers which around the globe and appreciate the hard work, that's why I started my channel in English trying to get a wider crowed.

Well, you've done that right. I suggest you put together a small sample reel (not everything you have!) but just the quirkiest ones and send it to children's shows such as Sesame Street and Nickelodeon and then to Comedy Central, and of course Cartoon Network, but not with the expectations that they will buy any of it or even want anything quite like it, but on the off chance that they will see the quirkiness of your nature and get some ideas of their own how to use you. BTW, how old are you?

[dan]

Great Advice Paul, Thank you so much I appreciate it a lot
I'm 29 years old.

Keep us posted! BTW, how do you pick your V.O. actors -- not that you should change a thing. I think the amateurism works perfectly with the overall quirkiness of your delivery style -- I'm just curious where you find them.

Actually the latest one, address me a long time ago and we already had a collaboration before.
But usually I look on YouTube for people who make me laugh and I send them a message if they are interested to collab.
I usually direct most of the shorts, but as you already noticed they are totally nonsense so I just flow with it.

Also none of my "Mr Dan Insane" YouTube channel made with an organized production pipeline like I usually do,
I work on a "freestyle" way, recording my voices (no script, no nothing, just fooling around like a little kid), mix it, compose the music or use something I already created before, and then Animate the final soundtrack.

It's a weird way to work... but eventually, it works and it seems that people like to watch those "cheap animation style" shorts.

Interesting -- a story of the Internet age. But not much, if anything at all, is done in TVPaint on this last one, correct?

[dan]

Actually I still use the ol' good Mirage, but one day when I'll have the $$$ I'll get myself TV Paint (I can't wait) !
I bet it will short most of my workflow
