Back from a nice vacation at Lake Tahoe. The day I left, I found out that an incredibly cool project that I was going to start (involving Paramount) just got canned - not postponed or delayed, but killed. Oh well. I'm directing some voice talent and also doing some voices in a MMORPG (that would be a video game to those of you not into acronyms) that's happening next week and I'm working on a project for Intel and another for Cisco at the moment and I'm working on a campaign for a new Auto Dealership launch.

And I am still looking for someone who can do motion graphics and titling, etc. for a decent rate. I have one I'm working with now, but I'd like to have another 1 or 2 relationships, prefarbly from people who want to build a portfolio.

Give me a holler when you've got somethng for Headthinker.

P-S I used to work for FCB and Bozell in Account Management before I became a recruiter.
