Render Tokens? Name your sh*t. Organize the details inside the file. Assemble a folder of all the files pieces of project. Easy to work with / Personable / Dependable. Don’t be presumptuous, you’re a guest. Try and fit into the company culture. DO NOT COOK SMELLY FOODS Befriend everybody you can. Maybe freelance isn’t for you. Time Management. Under promise, over deliver. Strike that balance. Nick’s wacky metaphor. GPS Shower. Ask for honest feedback to the producer. Send a thank you. Greyscalegorilla Twitch - twitch.tv/greyscalegorilla
