Tabeurn! BATZ, chill ta fucken moule man, offering intership for students is actually great to help them build their portfolios, its the same in every art related field, I did it too when I started doing makeup I did a LOT of free gigs just to get experience. I dont know what the fuss is??

If you're not interested, just dont reply. Jeez!

This 'something for nothing' attitude is pretty typical for Montreal. One of the reasons I want to leave this city.

You can get plenty of experience doing sites that you can show off later in your portfolio.. and if you are working for a company, you should get paid. You can do the freebies for friends.

But I mean, fuck, can't spit on experience.

of course, working for free sucks, even more in the art market, though, it's the best way to make a name, you just have to know when and where is the limit

I have gone through this experience once and will never do it again (I don't need to now anyway because I have some decent clients on my CV). Note this is for sound work though.

I had a 'business' in Montreal who tries to get all their work done for free promising that 'you will become part of the team' when 'we' make it big. This said company has an office downtown, so obviously they are not broke. They wanted custom background music for their videos. I quoted them a very generous, low price. My friend who I was working with sent them a spec version, which they then used in all their videos and refused to pay us anything (NEVER, ever, send full quality versions of template designs, music, video whatever.. cripple it if it is a spec version). Only after threatening to sue did I get anything out of them, which was half the amount I asked for.. but I didn't have the time to pursue it.

I found out they always work this way, and a business grad even said they tried to get free management/business work this way.
Moral of the story: watch out for people promising big things for free work, unless they are friends you can trust.

Anyway if people want to work for free, do whatever you want. But you encourage this behaviour by going along with it, driving the quality/prices down in this city and making people leave for Toronto.

DrTako, I dunno what ur talking about, its not "just in Montreal" that ppl look for interns, it was the same when I lived in London, L.A and Beijing. We're not making any money from our myspace ey, and we already have a graphic designer so its just doing the CSS/html. Arrête donc d'chialer pour rien manne, I had good intentions when I started this thread.

Sorry Daf, no dvds (I WISH) LOL we dont make/sell porn, we hookup aspiring porn stars with jobs!!
