OT: Animator's Wanted

I know this isn't really the right forum to advertise this, but I'd rather use friends and support this forum than hire outside somewhere.
I'm looking for animators (2D and 3D) who can work on a "Local Cable Budget." If there is anyone out there, or anyone you recommend, please have them contact me privately at
mjrATmatthewroddyDOTcom
And, if you have any suggestions where I SHOULD make this request, please let us know.
Thank you much

I'd definitely make this request in the DMN animators, Maya, and other animation forums. Ko Maruyama does quite a bit of this sort of work. Also, Kino Gil at the DMN does a lot of this sort of work ranging from small commercials to Starship Troopers, Beauty and the Beast, Contact, and other bigscreen works.

What kind of animation are you looking at Matthew ?

Caligari.com has a forum too. You need be a bit more specific on
what you are looking for. Character animation, fly thru, text
animation, etc. Each has special expertise.

The forum has monthly contests and you might be able to
contact winners directly to make offers for projects.

Cable budget.... my cable company could pay well based on
what they charge.

Keep in mind these are compressed heavily.

Yes... I know I should have been more specific. But the thing is that I'm actually looking for all types of animtion possibilities. I'd like to open up options for my current and future clients with all the different things this media has to offer.
The project I'm currently working on is pretty loose. Could be 2D, could be 3D, depending on price. But this one is a character anim for a local business. She's open to ideas right now and I'm not liking any of the ideas I have so far.
Thanks for the ideas above! I'll definately check them all out.
