Im not suprised uve been thinking about it Kev as I would have thought it could be a logical progression on from these websites of urs. As for the need to know ppl, ur absolutely right and I think its sites like SM and Cgtalk and what have u, that go someway to allowing this to happen. Anyway the reason why I have been thinking about it is basically because my brother is a director and he suggested that I possibly go out to South Africa to discuss a position within his fledgling company, CG related. So that got me thinking about starting up a studio. We can have a chat about it over a drink sometime (lol makes me feel important). Anyway to get to the real subject matter...Kevin u attended a school called GIT?!! lol
