The PageBites appears to have changed but we have a small live project we wish to commission and hopefully, if we win our bid on a pending project, some more substaintial contracts following.

I cannot find any active, central resource for this…any ideas?

Thanks

What makes the website sucky? Because it is on Geocities?

How many real companies would want a 3D mascot on their website? Several, so far.

Many have hired us. Why not?

Why are we a low quality studio? May we see your work so that we can compare?

$10 an hour is a rounded number we use to find people who are hard workers and aren't scraping every dollar they can find off of their clients. We actually pay more than that and provide bonuses. Also, we provide low bids to our clients, which is another reason that we don't pay much. We don't get much to pay with.

Any questions? Or just more statements?

"The Animation Empire will provide quality, value, and flexibility."

Their sucky Geocities site will give people a different opinion. And how many real companies want a 3D mascot on their website? I'm amazed anybody would hire them to create a website. I'd rather not taint my reputation by willingly working for such a low-quality studio, esp. at 10 bucks an hour!

See the cable image on this page: http://turinglabs.com/

So, maybe 10 dollars per hour is very low for a 3D pro in Europe or USA, but I gess is not so bad for the rest of the world.
