Finished Works

Is there no forum for finished works anymore? Does everything just go to A:M Stills and A:M Films now? If so, where would be the best place to post that something is finished so that folks will check it out? Here? Or are people just posting finished works in the WIP forum now?

Yes, finished work would follow the work in progress so you can post it here.

See it as an opportunity to promote the work.

 

Tease us... tell us a little about the project... post an image or two first... show us something that led to the finished work.

Then post the final product.

 

(My take)

Oh, I would definitely do that, there would be a WIP thread. My only concern is that lots of times when I visit a site like cgtalk, etc., I go to the showcase or finished works forum looking for new things to see. I won't necessarily go through multi-page WIPs to see if any of them are finished. It just seems to me that doing it this way, only folks that have been following the WIP will ever see your finished project. If there is a forum for finished works, you can go there and quickly scan the thread titles to find things you want to see.

 

If I upload an image to A:M Stills and post to my WIP that it's done, there's really no announcement to the world to say "Hey, come see what I did!" :lol:

 

Just my ¢2,

Richard

I hear you Richard.

I've taken a 'use what we have' approach to the forums.

As things change I'll change too.

 

A:M Stills and A:M Films do seem ideal for finished products.

I suppose you could post your final image here first and then follow it with WIP and information too.

 

When we had a 'Spotlight' forum I rarely went to A:M Stills.

Now I have more reason to visit.

 

I suspect its more a matter of mindset (and here I would agree with you).

When you finish a product you no longer see it as a 'Work in Progress'.

 

This is similar to my preference for the words 'New User' over 'Newbies'.

But that is growing on me.

 

Perhaps if the WIP forum was retitled (Work In Progress - Finished Work)?
