CAC Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hi Folks,Ive really been looking for creative people in Aberdeen but am finding it very hard to find any of the people Im looking for. Ive asked loads of people and have been given various tel numbers which have amounted to nothing. I m hoping that its just a case of me not being as connected in teh city as I once was.Of course I have called various designer companie but the prces are way to high and the designers are less than impressive to be honest. Im really looking for young/passionate/cuuting edge/full of ideas type people who dont nescessarily have any commercial experience and Im looking for people of all levels it doesnt have to be seasoned pros. It might be someone whos a bit of a dab hand with Photoshop, or a guy who has a passion for shooting loads of DVD filmif you or you know anyone who might fit the bill then I would love to hear from you.COme on what have you got to lose.....press that PM buttonCheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellchecker Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 what are you actually looking for? have you a project in mind? are you looking for employees, or to contract someone to do some work for you, or someone to work with you on a hobby/endeavour/startup ??i've seen good work come out of http://www.cyno.co.uk, certainly beats IFB.

CAC Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 There would be various projects and the people would work on a freelance basis (to start with) Its not a hobby thing and these projects would end up being commercial entities. For example I was offered to film and write the music for a recent X Box ad but I didnt know anyone who could help me withteh filming in Aberdeen which was incredibly frustrating but I managed the music ok. The work is there I just need to find some creative types and they dont have to be genius material at all.I cant work with commercial companies in Aberdeen for a number of reasons but mostly due to a conflict of interests. Im certain there are talented people in Aberdeen I just need to find them.so where are you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rass Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'll be honest because im wasted, your grammar and spelling is appauling, should you be a professional outfit.I'd be quite happy to help you out, should you be looking for someone proficient in photoshop, contact me through E-mail/PM/MSN, all available on here. Although I would be intrested in hearing a bit more about who you are and what exactly you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Here I am! Whats this all about like? If you need some writing material and help with making tea/joints I'm yer boy like. I have no talent what-so-ever in all the fields you require people in, but I can write a plethra o' shite in a short time and I'm widely reputed as innovate and dynamic, not to mention lazy, aggresive, and short-sighted.

PrincessHolly Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I did TV Operations and Production at college for 2 years but haven't done anything since mostly because I too can never find anybody who wants to do anything. I had a film shown at the Belmont too, so I can't be that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 You might want to consider getting in touch with our own Johnny Mac as well (http://www.dislocated-design.co.uk). A shit-hot web designer if I ever saw one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAC Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Thanks all for your responses Im very encouraged (except for the guy that measures inteligence by grammar/spelling). I will be contacting all of you to hopefully arrange meetings for a more in depth chat. I have a feeling there talented and creative individuals in this city and I suspect its a question of motivation.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
