GET YOURSELF KNOWN-
Brian Williamson, (Storyboard and illustrator) "If you find out let me
know:) Seriously, just get your work infront of the right people.
Don't get discouraged easily and develop a thick skin. Sending stuff still works but advertising in an industry mag or on google helps but is expensive to
do."

GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIPS-
Brad Vancata- I would try to get in first as a storyboard clean up artist. Try to meet the director while doing this. Then, hopefully you will have a good working relationship with him/her, and you can advance to storyboard artist.

"Just about all work comes in via word-of-mouth so work hard, impress
people, keep a good attitude, exceed expectations, turn problems into solutions before anybody even realises they're problems.
Do this and you will find you are remembered, called upon and hired again."
