This rocks.
I’m a new media producer in Tokyo. My studio is going independent in 3 days – I’m going to be looking to do part time work in the field (writing, narrating, editing, etc). Of course, I’m going to upload my own videos here when after the transition is done. But, if you’re looking to establish a Japan base (all of which will belong to…us?), please keep me in the uppermost part of your mind as an evangelist.
because this rocks.
btw, I found you via Marc Andreeson, who also rocks.
btw pt.2: my current parent company’s website is http://www.mosaic42.com. (sigh. they made it, not me): if you want to know the kinds of things my team produces, check iTunes under ‘eigotown’.
btw pt.3: my new company/site will launch on 1.17 (my birthday): ModernMediaJapan
okay, that’s enough about me:-) have wonderful holidays!
