I have been completely crammed with work over the last couple of months. Since braking from University I have had a really stress full and busy summer with animation.
On the first 3 or 4 weeks I worked solid on more game animation, this particular task I had to do was the most challenging I have had I feel. It took me a while to get that one complete.

As the weeks went by I decided to try and make some Internet presence for myself so I signed up on linked in, animated buzz and also posted a couple of videos on Vimeo. From this really amazingly I have made allot of really friendly, encouraging and inspiring people.
Also as time goes I like to check out companies and also see what kind of freelance work is out there. I haven't yet applied for any myself as I don't have much work to show them at the moment.
About 3 weeks ago I got a random urge and wanted to see whether any local companies would be interested in any animation done for them. I emailed around 13 I think and from that I received 8 responses 2 were that they wouldn't need that sort of thing and a couple interested to know more but strangely never went further. I managed to get 3 offers though. One was unfortunately technical animation done using coding which wasn't my area so I had to refuse. The other two however were really good offers.
1) The first is a promo film by Fresh Fish design, for this I have been assigned piece on a local area of thanit.
2) The second is to produce a selection of 2d flash animated logos, in which components move and come together to form the logo.
The promo film I was only assigned 3 weeks so it is very tough going, I am in the last week now and the deadline is approaching quickly, I hope to get it done in time, and then I will finaly be able to have some freelance work I can display rather than hiding it like the game as I don't know if I can yet.
The logo's weren't a very pressing Holman design so I am casually doing them when I can fit them into my schedule. I hope to get a selection for them of around 10 by the end of the summer so early September. I look forward to showing them too as so far they are looking nice.
Finaly I have also been approached by two people for other projects. I had to unfortunately refuse the first as it would have required me having to commute or rent a hotel which wouldn't have been feasible for me. The second I haven't heard anything back from so I don't know if that's going anywhere.
I look forward to posting some videos when I have finished each project.
