At last! Being swamped by the missives from the DLF mailing list has paid off!

I mean, I love getting my DLF mail, because they do discuss a lot of cool things and I can pretend I’m really, really popular, but a lot of the subject matter goes over my head in these early days. Mental ray velocity passes? Yeah, I’ll just lean back with a faraway look in my eyes, stroke my imaginary goatee, and pretend I know what you’re talking about, dudes

This evening, stib from pureandapplied.com.au posted a link to a 2007 post by Keith Lango, an animator who also runs the Animation Personal Trainer program.

Keith has excellent advice for indie animators working on personal projects, especially people like me who are always trying to be faster! Stronger! Higher!

We can’t produce similar stuff to the big studios because we just don’t have the (wo)man days and resources to do so, but instead of being discouraged, we should use these limitations to open up new possibilities and spark creativity.

Read Keith’s pearls of wisdom here.
