I've never posted here before but I thought I'd share where my thoughts are lately.

I am completely frustrated. Because of a variety of software jobs in video and technical jobs in production, I have all the experience to get me going in a full fledged career creating motion graphics using cool tools like After Effects. I have never failed at moving into a new field I liked, but every time I go look at the job listings, my whole system freezes up and frankly, I just want to throw up. Corporate logos? Slick, sexy ads about violent TV shows? Ads that make you feel insecure so you reach out for their products? Blech! Gratuitous violence to evoke the ever-hungered adrenalin rush? Blech! My soul won't let me even lift a finger.

I know that good After Effects artists are hard to come by but where in the world are the filmmakers and business owners with any conscience? Don't they think that goodness, honesty and inspiration can draw people to them?

I did a search in Google for "Non-Violent Motion Graphics" thinking SOMEONE must have started something, but no, nothing came up. That's the next movement I am going to start.
