Do you have a site/reel? I'm on a hunt for some animation support (text/infographic stuff).
I did see your post earlier which was one of the things that made me think I shold ask here- no, my website has been 'coming soon' for about two years now... mostly because actual work kept geting in the way.
I do badly need to get together a decent portfolio site, but currently most of what I've done is focused on animation to promote children's books (plus also leans towards instagram post type stuff which very tight turn-arounds, which doesn't show that much skill). Which I suspect isn't really what you're looking for. That said I'll pm you a few links to things I've done in case you think my skills are adaptable to what you need.plenty of need for beauty retouchers
Would be totally up for non-exciting work at the moment - in an ideal world I'd carry on doing some of the more creative child-oriented work but subsidise it with boring well paid stuff... What does beauty retouching actually involve? Is that like a lot of content-aware fill stuff in AE? Can definitely do that kind of thing if you know of any ways in. If it's more like grading that's never been my strong point.
(and thanks both, appreciate the advice)

Beauty retouching for video is basically like stills retouching, getting rid of imperfections in skin, removing stray hairs, red veins from eyes etc. There's also set extensions and a surprising amount of compositing stuff as well.
For the beauty stuff it's basically adjustment layers, masking, blurs or dust and scratches. I'm pretty sure there's a load of youtube vids on it. I'm an video editor not an AE artist but I use AE a fair bit and even I can do a lot of it, but if you get good (especially at trickier stuff like hair) you'll always get work, one of my biggest clients does a shit ton of beauty and fashion ads, they retouch everything and are in constant need of freelancers.

Most of the stuff I see advertised is for really good text and really inventive shape and mask movement. So basic stuff, but done to a high standard. Do you have a site/reel? I'm on a hunt for some animation support (text/infographic stuff).
