When I Grow Up - UnitedFakes

Welcome to a new segment of my Blog called "When I Grow Up" which was inspired by a previous post I did looking at work I would kill to have been involved in. The very same could be said for the little company in Barcelona called UnitedFakes. Wow... Everything has some form of hand made touch, if the stuff is not hand made little buildings it's hand painted cell animations on acetate. Plus on the Vimeo site they have all the "making's of" where they show the painstaking work that went into it all. It just goes to show that sometimes you can find a place where you can be paid to make your dreams come true, all it takes is learning Spanish and a little bit of imagination.

Now, is that not worth learning Spanish for?

A Quick Look at Awesome - French Aids Awareness Promos

We would NEVER get away with it here but that's why man invented Youtube.
