Hi all,

I know the "traditional wisdom" is that one has to have Maya to get freelance work in animation. Yes, Iclone is a pro-sumer software.

And yet I see people in the testimonials section who use Iclone in their freelance animation business.

OK, so what kind of work could one do with Iclone? Market oneself in the field of pre-visualization? Become a one-man ad agency? Get government contracts to better help the drone pilots kill people? Do something more iffy like start a blog and try to sell t-shirts to support your film-making efforts?

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.....

" I have completely shifted the production to iClone

A lot of the things I would be forced to do in post-production I can achieve right inside of iClone. And…the content I create or purchase for the film can simply be imported into the program at a click of a button. http://www.leefilm.com/moviestorm-to-iclone/

another question, .....How do you charge your rates ?

I've been fortunate to do a few freelance gigs.....but i often have trouble answering for my rate when looking for new clients! The people I have worked with simply liked my work and I worked within their budgets ....but in order to make a pro website - rates need to be added!

I know Armstrong does projects for corporate clients. Maybe he can shed some light.

I'm in the same situation. I would Love to make a living using Iclone ( Can't wait for IC6 though) I've done a few thing for people. Right now I am trying to learn Unity, on my own so I can start my Mobile Gaming Company.

But yea I believe you can make a living of Iclone but with IC6 coming out. You could produce a better product to sell.

btw do you have any work you did I could see. Here is a few videos I did when I first started using iclone...https://vimeo.com/100524328

Yes. Pretty much all of the time I direct/shoot and edit the projects.
The client has a rough script/outline that I will follow but with most clients just come to me and tell me what they need for a given topic and I'll run with it. It helps to have been doing this for a few years about 40 but who's countin'

That's the million dollar question!! It's changed over the years and it's really what the market will bare. I try to gauge what their market is and how much they can spend. Sometimes I can get my full rate but times change and one's gota eat ya know!!!!

I've never competed with the big boys..I have my niche and I'm happy with it
