Good wrapup. These things take some time, too.

Comment on Recommended Deliberate Practice for VFX Artists by Heather Craik

I find it funny that at every level people are demanding most of those traits; for a VFX artist a lot of them are necessary but you can’t help but wonder why some jobs ask for initiative (or whatever) when they don’t really mean it.

Great point, boundary setting is very important!

I see these same sorts of traits listed for jobs locally. They are almost completely subjective. Being able to manage such high expectations from an employer will require setting very firm personal boundaries to prevent being emotionally abused. Practice boundary setting!

I probably shouldn’t have taken as much of a break over the holidays; before that I was managing 3-4 hours.

In effect, I’ve managed to lose about an hour or so. But I’m pulling it back! Agreed though, its so much harder to do real work than ‘work’.

I’m getting in 5-6 hours per day of “real work” now. It’s brutal, but it’s getting easier.

Just had to dig this out of spam – my bad! May have to look into getting keywordluv on here as well to avoid that.

Anyway its nice to hear from you and we can just keep talking by email now.
