Hey all!

We're looking to know if there's a location that's great for hiring talented After Effects Designers and Scripters. Any suggestions from the community here? We do have success but curious if there's a pocket on the internet that's the go to location.

 

We've tried finding individuals using the following avenues : 

  • LinkedIn
  • Indeed
  • Behance
  • Dribbble

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I can only second Rick's sentiment. Personal contacts are much more important than wasting time and money on portfolio web sites or social media only to be pestered by dubious people who want everything for cheap.

Whenever you have something to post, message me the details here and I'm happy to post it in the corresponding forums.

Since I started in movie and tv production fifty years ago, almost all of my work has been from direct pitches to new clients, referrals from existing clients, and collaborations. I am available for hire, but I have never signed any contracts with people with whom I have not developed a personal relationship.

 

When I hire people for my productions, I occasionally will check the SAG AFTRA INDIE GUIDE, then make contact and ask for references. Most of the time, the new people I hire have worked for someone I know. I used to pay an annual fee to have my company listed in a couple of production guides and on referral websites, but they were mostly a waste of time.

 

Sometimes starting a thread on a forum will lead to a friendship and, eventually, some work. I wish it were easier to find good people to work with.

Most scripters are on AEScripts.com and can be contacted from there. Not all of them work for hire, though. Can't say much on the rest. I never cared for any of those other nonsense sites. My LinkedIn profile is as empty as the desert planes on Mars...
