Do you have experience in animation design?
Getting freelance work in TV is easy for designers you might need to do a few free jobs to prove your worth but your little experience means nothing over quality design so if you are good enough it shouldn't be a problem.
Create a website cv that is really jazzy and give it out to lots of people and email ahead of time to lots of companies.
Generally freelance designers use their own computers so grab a "crumpler" daypack, the best laptop bag I've come across so far, and hit the road.
My advice is you are going to be disapointed more if you show up looking for work unannounced, do your best to contact the right companies and the right people before you arrive. Don't be tight about making international phone calls if needed, email is one thing but actually talking to the creative director is another.
Best of luck and look after your laptop,
I bought the small screen Mac G4, to fit in daypack, with padding around it. Had to have it repaired in Costa Rica.He rewinstalled every program that came with it. But in Spanish.
I tell college kids here in Spain, to not just train for corporate hell. Use them for experience of how that kind of business really works. And for getting that grub stake for thier own business.
Things can be a lot different, in the real world, than in school of any kind. I got a Bachelor of Sciene, in Advbertising Art.
We went on fieldtrips to big ad agencies, in dallas. People were wearing jeans and t-shirts there. Found out later, it was the only clean clothes they had left. In that bus. you work till the job is done.
Hi pressure, fast burn out.
But opportunities don't come tailor made. They give the newby the crap jobs. That's how the business is learned.
It tkes a month to train with any employer. Another month to train the boss.
;)
But we learn things that pay off on other jobs.
