May of my animators had found me through a tweet I had made in search of Artists, George was one of the few that I personally approached. He has been nothing but eager to work on T.H.O.T. (The Heroes of Tomorrow)
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Edwar17art When I first approached him to find out what his ratings were he was a bit too expensive, and I had to back out from the deal. George on the other hand went to look at the project I had proposed to him and found the project was right up his alley. So he and I negotiated. George was a CleanUp artist at SpindleHorse during the production of Hazbin Hotel. It was his big break and he says he was shocked when they had accepted him for the pilot to help out. He had worked on a BBC documentary as well. A documentary over the Y2K scare back in 2000, he and many other had 2 weeks to animate 10 minutes worth of animations. It's okay, I grimaced too at the thought. George stated he was not as proud of that work, but he at least got paid.
Working at the bar part time, he still takes on the jobs to freelance though he dedicates a lot of his time to Not Dead Yet Productions. He has been eager to see it rise off the ground and has been a wonderful source of positivity. When asked on what he favored when it came to animation he wanted to do more for storyboarding and rough animation but he is familiar with cleanup so he has adapted to doing it all so that he can offer himself more opportunities. Though he dreams that he'd love to get into preproduction work and get to be a concept artist, but he admits his weakness is adapting to other's styles. And wants to get better at that. When asked to give bit of advice for the readers, George had talked about his University professors telling him to not bother learning ToonBoom (An animation program that many industries use for 2D) because if you "learn one animation software you can use them all." George had missed out on an opportunity because of this and so he warns that some people will tell you how it works in the industy, but they are not always right. His suggestion is for everyone to try and train yourselves on any software that you want to get better at, and even if you can't afford the software, then grab a pencil and paper and keep at it. His goal is to get in the Industry and he still continues to apply to the industries waiting for when he lands an opportunity. Because you will never know unless you go for it.
