Hey AIR team,
How do you confirm a company that approaches you from Europe is legitimate? I have a media company from Turkey asking me to quote some animation for them. They have a website, have given their address (which is an actual address on google maps), and have given phone numbers which I haven't tried yet. I have let them know that if we work together, I'd require 50% up front, 35% midway and 15% before delivery of final elements and they say they're fine with that. Anything else?

recommendations for movers in the city?? im moving from a 4th floor walk up in crown heights to a 4th floor walk up in bushwick and im being quoted ~$1450 by multiple moving companies recommended by google ads.

i would understand if this is just the price im working with, but i want to make sure i’m covering my bases before i agree to anything!

does anyone have recommendations / comps?

Hello! Looking for animators that can work with a production house (so not animation studio but independents) any of you have them on roster? 3D / board is stylized kind of a diorama look. If that makes sense. Basically shoot me reels if you have 3D folks on your roster. If I see something I can share more details. Thanks!

Reps how do you handle when a producer requests reels from you then doesn’t watch a single one and completely ghosts you after submission?

(See wheresspot for thread) While I hope be didn't contract Covid on either of the 2 sets mentioned prior to his illness and death, if it comes back that he did, we need to have a long hard chat about what went wrong. Condolences to his family. Truly horrible news.
