we were asked by Lorna hamilton Brown to all come up with as many ways as we all could companies let people know about them. usually , the bigger the company, the less it puts into spreading the word, because of their reputation, people will do all the work for them. they still put out work such as showreels and short films for film festivals. that can be good for broadcasting in the specialist crowd., as its usually people with background in 3D who are enthusiastic about festivals (most of the time). This was a pretty useful exercise as we all got into it and came up with increasingly obscure ways they do it.
