Flying to the Blender conference is expensive! Flights, accomodation, entry fee. Gah! Not everyone who wanted to attend, could. The event organizers set up live broadcasting of the presentations, but unfortunately there weren't any cameras in the smaller room... except mine :P I made an effort to record as much of the workshop presentations as possible. Enjoy 9 exclusive videos below!

9. Andrew Price - How to Raise Your Profile as an Artist

Blender Tutorial http://www.blenderguru.com/9-videos-from-the-2010-blender-conference/ Recorded at the 2010 Blender Conference in Amsterdam. ---- Are you looking to find work as an artist but don't know where to start? You're not alone. Every year thousands of students graduate from college hoping to find a job in the 3d industry but land flat on their face. Why? The simple fact is, most artists suck at marketing. I don't say that to be mean, I say that because I used to be there before slowly digging my way out. In this presentation I'll share with you the techniques I learned through extensive marketing classes, but geared specifically for artists.
