It's not so much that it's an unpaid job.  I've done plenty, or donated plenty of models.  I'm happy to do the work for credit and to get my name out there.  It's just depressing to get your hopes up that your name will be linked to a project that never actually gets finished. 

Only a fraction of the projects I've been involved in ever get completed, which means it was totally wasted in terms of benefits, if not money.

But, (slightly on a tangent) I do know of a director that's using a few of my models in an upcoming film starring Ted Raimi, so that's gotta be a good sign.... hasn't it?  (Check IMDB and see if you can guess which movie)  And no, not Spider-man 3

edit - Jeeze, you have to remember that the forum is now totally separate to rosity and logging out of one doesn't mean you've logged out of the other.
