First off BIG congrats! Long ago I did some special effects at Lucas Studios for a client, required going to LA. for two months, but it wasn't a 'permanent' position. On the upside, these things only come along once in awhile, so take advantage of it while you can...this could be a foot in the door to bigger things...more money, security, and a possible future for you and your fiance...learning a new software skill, your work seen by miilions with a certain amount of fame and presitage working for Blur Studios... On the downside, you need to leave home, family and friends, move to LA, not a garden spot by any means, and will be under pressure to not only learn a new software, but do production work on tight deadlines. Creativity will no longer be a lesiure item, but an everyday chore...you will be finishing and polishing other peoples ideas... Best thing to do is a pros and cons list, see if they are even, if one outweights the other, some deliberation is necessary.....things to ask of your potential employer; -are they procuring you a residence? -are they paying for the move? -how much money? -what type of expenses will you have? -what benefits, if any? -what type of schedule will you be on? -will you be expected to learn 3DS MAX and keep to a production schedule as well? -where will you be working? -who do you answer to in the end? Director? Art Director? -what type of work schedule will you be expected to keep? -Can you start with them doing freelance, or do they need a butt in a chair in LA? -is the move 'right' for you? (or what are your goals for life?) -how often will your fiance be able to visit you? you her? -could she accompany you to LA? would she want to? However, whatever you decide, make sure it's right for 'you'...you have extraordinary talent, and this could be the path to something bigger. I wish you luck!
