This week on #mochat, we talked about landing that first gig and networking. A lot of people got their first job by knowing the right person (or the right person knowing them). It may have been a small job, but if they put out good work, people remembered them.
What really got people continued work is networking with others—both other designers and people from different fields. Never underestimate the power of referrals. A lot of networking is done on Twitter and Facebook now, but there’s still a lot of those in-person events like AE user groups, meetups, and industry events like NAB. So make it a point to get to know other people! You never know when or where they can help you… just be sure you help others, too.

MotionChat Welcome to #mochat everyone! Tonight’s topic is landing that first gig & networking to get the next. –8:00 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MotionChat If you’re not familiar with #mochat, here’s a brief overview: http://t.co/Wy6Go0NP7j Easiest to follow along on http://t.co/JP3pAlqeDL –8:00 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MotionChat To start things off, let’s reminisce about our first gig, no matter how recent. What was it and how did you get it? #mochat –8:01 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs My first official job was assisting at a studio in Milwaukee. Machine room, logging footage, prepping PS files… #mochat –8:02 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs I got that job because I was an intern first, and I didn’t slack off and asked what more I could do. #mochat –8:03 PM Apr 30th, 2013
SFBurning I ended up working for Mother on an NBC spot when I was 19 after getting getting caught working illegally in their office space… #mochat –8:04 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs And I got that internship because of a teacher I had in Chicago who knew the people across the hall from the shop. #mochat –8:04 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @SFBurning As in illegally for you or for NBC? #mochat –8:04 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mdvideoeditor My 1st job was in Master Control for a cable company. I interned there and a public access station. Hustled & worked my butt off. #mochat –8:05 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MDSienzant @MotionChat my first gig was a full time job out of college. Work aside, I got the gig by fitting company personality and drive. #mochat –8:05 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MDSienzant Everyone stresses about your reel and work, but little phased goes on that first pressing. They go a long way. #mochat –8:08 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MotionChat Last week, we saw that a lot of people didn’t necessarily start in Motion Design. Anyone else start in a different field? #mochat –8:08 PM Apr 30th, 2013
kyl33t @MotionChat it was for a DVD. Got it through an intern connection. It was frustrating. Now available in drug stores! #mochat –8:09 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mrmikeflorio @conigs I got my first job as a post tech after I interrupted a couple of guys talking post in a Starbucks in LA #mochat –8:09 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @MotionChat I technically got my start in editorial. But in the broadcast commercial realm, there’s a lot of mixed skill sets. #mochat –8:09 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @kyl33t What is this DVD? I must see it. #mochat –8:10 PM Apr 30th, 2013
SFBurning @mrmikeflorio Hustle. #mochat –8:10 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MDSienzant @MotionChat same field, different role. Got in the door as a producer. But worked to editor and production. #mochat –8:10 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MDSienzant “@conigs: But in the broadcast commercial realm, there’s a lot of mixed skill sets. #mochat” this. Across the board this applies. –8:11 PM Apr 30th, 2013
PXLPUSHER1972 @MotionChat Digital Signage. Was brought in to do Flash animations but CMS didn’t support Flash so learned AE on the fly. #MoChat –8:11 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mrmikeflorio @SFBurning I wish haha I was so nervous and I had just gotten to LA I kinda made an ass of myself #mochat –8:11 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @PXLPUSHER1972 Did you find much crossover between Flash & AE? Flash always feels like a foreign planet. #mochat –8:12 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @mrmikeflorio @SFBurning But you did something right. They remembered you. #mochat –8:13 PM Apr 30th, 2013
PaulZadie I was working as a print/web designer that snuck into the edit bay at every opportunity to pick the editor’s brain. #mochat –8:13 PM Apr 30th, 2013
Dr0id RT @conigs: I got that job because I was an intern first, and I didn’t slack off and asked what more I could do. #mochat –8:13 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @990adjustments You here? Did your phone remember to remind you? #mochat –8:13 PM Apr 30th, 2013
PaulZadie And one thing led to another…. eventually I was an editor with a graphic design background. #MoChat –8:13 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @PaulZadie Funny, I came to it from the reverse. #mochat –8:14 PM Apr 30th, 2013
990adjustments @conigs Here! here! #mochat –8:15 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MotionChat “@PXLPUSHER1972: I started in Graphic Design and Web design. I enjoyed designing but coding makes me want to punch myself.” #mochat –8:15 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DigiWich @MotionChat not to far off from motion design, but my first official job was doing stereo conversion in LA, switched soon after. #mochat –8:15 PM Apr 30th, 2013
PaulZadie @conigs The skills are so complimentary. At least to the two of us:) #mochat –8:16 PM Apr 30th, 2013
EllsDynamic Started my career wanting to go into editing… Ended up falling in love with After Effects… #mochat –8:16 PM Apr 30th, 2013
SFBurning Curious if anyone comes from audio? So important for animation, yet I know very few animators that moonlight as sound designers. #mochat –8:16 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @SFBurning I had a moderate live-audio background from high school and college work. I know @graymachine did audio first. #mochat –8:17 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rendernyc #mochatStarted as asst editor at pops post house as child laborer on spots. Then 3d, Mac grfx, illusion comp, etc. moved to mograph after –8:17 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mrmikeflorio @conigs @sfburning yeah I was the loud-mouth Italian kid from NYC that they questioned about post workflows … I just got lucky #mochat –8:18 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @rendernyc “Illusion comp”? That’s a new one to me. #mochat –8:18 PM Apr 30th, 2013
990adjustments Originally was on my way to Med school. Then life took me in a different direction. #mochat –8:19 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MotionChat Curious if there’s anyone here or lurking that is still studying or waiting for that first gig? #mochat –8:19 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @990adjustments Um… that’s a bit of a left turn. #mochat –8:19 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mdvideoeditor @conigs @990adjustments A bit? Try a hard left!! #mochat –8:20 PM Apr 30th, 2013
PaulZadie My career trajectorypencils > print > web > flash > editorial > mograph > more editing > mograph #mochat –8:20 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @mrmikeflorio @SFBurning But you spoke up. That already can set you apart. #mochat –8:20 PM Apr 30th, 2013
PXLPUSHER1972 @conigs I did because I didn’t do a lot of action scripting. Also was played a lot with exporting XFL files from AE to Flash. #MoChat –8:20 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MDSienzant @SFBurning audio was my interest in college. Ran sound/post on tons of short films. Even attempted albums. I despise doing it now. #mochat –8:21 PM Apr 30th, 2013
990adjustments @mdvideoeditor @conigs lol Yeah, for sure! #mochat –8:21 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mrmikeflorio @conigs @sfburning speaking up I’d definitely something I do (pretty well too) and I think it’s definitely helped me #mochat –8:22 PM Apr 30th, 2013
glenniphone went to college for/and owned graphic design business. bought Form-Z, Electric Image, and CoSa After Effects and never looked back #mochat –8:22 PM Apr 30th, 2013
SFBurning @MDSienzant I’ve always been one foot in both, but after freshman year of college realized I had to pick one for a career #mochat –8:22 PM Apr 30th, 2013
j_salvo @rendernyc you were raised by an SGI box weren’t you? #mochat –8:23 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @glenniphone Electric Image! #mochat –8:23 PM Apr 30th, 2013
990adjustments @mdvideoeditor @conigs Looking back and seeing the state of medicine. Think I’m ok with going in another direction. #mochat –8:23 PM Apr 30th, 2013
postchat Hey, #mochat is going on! –8:24 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MotionChat A lot of first jobs seem to happen by knowing the right person (or the right person knowing you). #mochat –8:25 PM Apr 30th, 2013
graymachine Late to the party. But, my ears are burning. #mochat –8:26 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MotionChat How important has networking been to you after that first gig? #mochat –8:26 PM Apr 30th, 2013
990adjustments @conigs @glenniphone oldie! Remember it but never used it. #mochat –8:26 PM Apr 30th, 2013
990adjustments Friend go me my first job. So knowing the right folks definitely helps #mochat –8:27 PM Apr 30th, 2013
pcarpenter RT @conigs: I got that job because I was an intern first, and I didn’t slack off and asked what more I could do. #mochat –8:27 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mdvideoeditor Always want to network – and NEVER burn your bridges! You never know that the person you burn will someday be your boss! #mochat –8:27 PM Apr 30th, 2013
postchat RT @MotionChat: A lot of first jobs seem to happen by knowing the right person (or the right person knowing you). #mochat –8:27 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rendernyc @conigs #mochatAvid illusion running on an onyx. Comping and doing vfx spot woek –8:28 PM Apr 30th, 2013
SFBurning @graymachine Well might I pick your brain for a moment as to whether or not audio skills have helped you in motion design? #mochat –8:28 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @mdvideoeditor So very true. I know a few people who talked too much crap about others and switched fields; they couldn’t find work. #mochat –8:29 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rovino woot hello peeps. #mochat –8:29 PM Apr 30th, 2013
graymachine @SFBurning Sure. In a word, yes. In fact, the whole education tract of creative + technical guided me to where I am. #mochat –8:29 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rendernyc @j_salvo hah. Raised in 1″ edit online rooms #mochat –8:30 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs Now that I’m full time, my freelance is almost entirely referrals… even from people for whom I’ve never worked directly. #mochat –8:30 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @rovino Hey, Ron! #mochat –8:30 PM Apr 30th, 2013
PXLPUSHER1972 @MotionChat Work 9to5 but studying online for certification and expand my skillset for career shift #MoChat –8:30 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MDSienzant @SFBurning hah, prior to freshman year I almost went into music performance as a major. Dodged a bullet there #mochat –8:30 PM Apr 30th, 2013
Dr0id @MotionChat it’s 100% networking. My career has been getting passed from one job to the next because of word of mouth. #mochat –8:30 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MotionChat “@justinhuskey: @MotionChat My business runs on networking. I like getting to know every person I work with.” #mochat –8:30 PM Apr 30th, 2013
beatgram My first job was brought by my friends. The key is the right person knowing me. #mochat –8:31 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MDSienzant @MotionChat Networking is always going to be a pivotal role I think. It can make or break a successful freelancer or even FT career #mochat –8:31 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mdvideoeditor @rendernyc @j_salvo I remember those days – And dubbing 2″ quad to SP! #mochat –8:31 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs Beyond Twitter, what do you guys do to network? User groups? Conferences? Events? #mochat –8:32 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DigiWich @conigs I know a guy like that. If you’re in a smaller town people talk and how you act can come back to bite you. #mochat #mochat –8:32 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @mdvideoeditor @rendernyc @j_salvo I feel like we’re one step away from talking about youths and their loud music… #mochat –8:32 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rovino @conigs well there was NAB.. that was a giant networking fest #mochat –8:32 PM Apr 30th, 2013
glenniphone #mochat IRC some for networking –8:33 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mdvideoeditor @conigs @rendernyc @j_salvo Ehhhhhhhh?!???? I cant hear you Sonny! #mochat –8:33 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @glenniphone What servers/channels do you use for mograph? #mochat –8:34 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MDSienzant @conigs I’ve been to some local ad events. I wish my area had more freelance/mograph meet ups like NYC/Chicago. Instead of clients #mochat –8:34 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rovino @conigs I still have a dream to create a S. AZ users group actually Im hoping there is one I just gotta find it.. 8) #mochat –8:34 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @MDSienzant That’s how it was in MKE, too. A lot of agency stuff, not much for post. Tried to start a monthly meetup, but fizzled. #mochat –8:34 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @rovino Doesn’t Adobe have a list of all the users groups? #mochat –8:35 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rovino Back in my day you had to use an Effect to get Text outa After Effects. And it was Red.. and you liked it.. #mochat –8:35 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rovino @conigs damn you and your logic.. I havent looked that hard apparently #mochat –8:35 PM Apr 30th, 2013

SFBurning http://t.co/LnN5UF9UEe, anyone? #Anyone? #Bueller? #mochat –8:36 PM Apr 30th, 2013
PaulZadie It’s rare to get an opportunity that you don’t ask for. But when you get it, prove yourself. And share your successes. Notworking. #MoChat –8:36 PM Apr 30th, 2013

mdvideoeditor @rovino I got into AE on version 5.5 #mochat –8:38 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @alba Did you ever run into issues of “stealing” clients from the house, or was it different enough work? #mochat –8:39 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mdvideoeditor @conigs @rovino OMG, ppl think CS4? LOL #mochat –8:39 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rovino @SFBurning I wish work allowed that url..but some how it got blocked late in the year and I cannot get back on it.. #mochat –8:39 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rovino @mdvideoeditor aye.. we had 3.5 but no one knew how to work it.. and it was SLOW.. 5.5 was a great jump #mochat –8:40 PM Apr 30th, 2013

EllsDynamic @conigs I’m hoping to meet up with you soon at the next AE User Group in MN. Was thrilled to hear one existed. #mochat –8:41 PM Apr 30th, 2013
MotionChat “@alba: I was unemployed and a friend suggested I apply to a post-facility looking for graveyard machine room VHS tape duplicators.” #mochat –8:41 PM Apr 30th, 2013

conigs @rovino And what was the transition? #mochat –8:42 PM Apr 30th, 2013
PXLPUSHER1972 @conigs I go to #AdobeMax regularly and started attending #creativemornings. Also LinkedIn User groups. #MoChat –8:42 PM Apr 30th, 2013
DigiWich @EllsDynamic I haven’t been to the MN AE user group in ages, they happen so sporadically that I always miss it! #mochat –8:42 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @PXLPUSHER1972 I’ve toyed with going back to LinkedIn. Is there actually a decent mograph community? #mochat –8:43 PM Apr 30th, 2013
EllsDynamic @conigs @careyd On the FB page, Scott mentioned the next one being after the release of CS Next. #MoChat –8:43 PM Apr 30th, 2013
EllsDynamic @conigs @careyd I honestly wouldn’t mind getting the MN AE group to meet more often. #MoChat –8:43 PM Apr 30th, 2013
ishahening RT @MotionChat: Welcome to #mochat everyone! Tonight’s topic is landing that first gig & networking to get the next. –8:44 PM Apr 30th, 2013

conigs What’s the split for referral jobs from clients vs other designers for you? #mochat –8:45 PM Apr 30th, 2013
EllsDynamic @DigiWich I think I’m going to try to organize an “unofficial” AE meet-up over beers soon here. I think it’d be beneficial. #mochat –8:45 PM Apr 30th, 2013
alba @MotionChat oops. Sorry forgot to HASHTAG #mochat on those last few responses. 🙁 –8:45 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rovino @conigs well I moved over to a local affiliate ABC station, worked my way up from camera, audio, graphics, directing, live news. #mochat –8:45 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mdvideoeditor @rovino And when dubbing 2″, you need to clean the heads as you dub #mochat –8:45 PM Apr 30th, 2013
Trevitacus Might be a little late to the post #mochat hangout. @rovino or @RagingClaw might be able to get it started if I am not on time everyone. –8:45 PM Apr 30th, 2013
EllsDynamic @PXLPUSHER1972 @conigs These are good suggestions. Thanks! #mochat –8:46 PM Apr 30th, 2013

MotionChat @alba It happens to the best of us. (Me included… which is embarrassing.) #mochat –8:46 PM Apr 30th, 2013

PXLPUSHER1972 @conigs It’s not to bad actually but I don’t find it as engaging as this. Though of course a group like this could be started. #MoChat –8:47 PM Apr 30th, 2013
mdvideoeditor @rovino You can tell how old we are by the equipment we worked on #mochat –8:47 PM Apr 30th, 2013
ishahening I started in offline editing, then I tried VJing and I felt the need to make my own footage so I jumped to mograph. #mochat @MotionChat –8:47 PM Apr 30th, 2013
EllsDynamic @DigiWich Oh! When do they meet? And where? I’m definitely interested. #mochat –8:47 PM Apr 30th, 2013

rovino @conigs ahem or tuesday night? #mochat –8:54 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @PaulZadie @beatgram @mrmikeflorio But the agencies/prod-cos are your clients. I just meant nondesigners vs designers. #mochat –8:54 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @rovino Actually, a #mochat while also having a meetup/lan party would be awesome. –8:55 PM Apr 30th, 2013
ishahening @conigs go for it! It’s fun really to get out from the studio every now and then, showing off our visuals, enjoying the music #mochat –8:55 PM Apr 30th, 2013
conigs @EllsDynamic Do you have a Twitter list of the local designers? #mochat –8:55 PM Apr 30th, 2013
EllsDynamic @conigs @DigiWich I’ll aim for something at least two weeks in advanced, so people can figure out their schedules. Maybe a Tuesday? #mochat –8:55 PM Apr 30th, 2013
EllsDynamic @conigs I’ve been putting one together… Only 8 or so, so far. #mochat –8:55 PM Apr 30th, 2013
rovino well all my jobs Ive gotten from conversations with friends.. “hey so and so is hiring.. this looks up your alley” bing… #mochat –8:55 PM Apr 30th, 2013
