Greetings. Alex Marquis here, senior new media student at the University of Maine. As i approach the final days of being a black bear I wanted to reach out to my fellow students who may be interested in some collaborative work as well as get a chance to add some experience to my own portfolio, I’m not much of a webdesigner or animator but I do have some other skills that might provide useful. One of those is skills is being a fairly good Impressionist and voice actor and I’d like to test my skills. So if you are an animator out there in need of someone to do some voice overs for a short please, send me a script and a .jpg of your character description of them. If I’m into what you’re doing I’d do some readings that could lead to a full screening. All I ask is that if you use any of my work make sure to cite me in your credits and provide me with a copy of the finished piece for my own portfolio.

This would be a great way to take some of the stress off yourself, help fellow students, and show potential employers that you know how to collaborate.

I look forward to seeing future projects!

Web providers must limit internet's carbon footprint, say experts

News No Responses »
Feb 012010

“The internet’s increasing appetite for electricity poses a major threat to companies such as Google, according to scientists and industry executives. While the demand for electricity is a primary concern, a secondary result of the explosion of internet use is that the computer industry’s carbon debt is increasing drastically. From having a relatively small impact just a few years ago, it is now leapfrogging other sectors like the airline industry that are more widely known for their negative environmental impact.” (article) more at: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/may/03/internet-carbon-footprint
