MUST HAVE BOOKMARKS:
Vimeo.com - The preferred video sharing site for motion artists these days.
Tubemogul.com - A great place to upload one video to up to 25ish video sharing sites. Get more exposure for your vids, and for those of your clients.
Motionographer.com - A place to keep up to date on the latest “motion graphics, design, animation, filmmaking and visual effects.”
Mograph.net - a happening forum for all things motion graphics... although it is hard to leave dvx...
Toolfarm - this is the place to get plug-ins. If you are new to plug-ins you should check out http://www.trapcode.com/ which sells their products now through http://www.redgiantsoftware.com.
Video Copilot - All ae tutorials are measured against Andrew Kramers work.
Ae tuts - An amazing place with a lot of great tutorials & articles from a diverse group of people. The network of websites is thriving. You can also get great AE animation elements from videohive.
TIPS ON FINDING WORK:
Twitter.com - Spread the word about your work among your friends. Search for work here too.
Craigslist.com - I don’t know of a single website that traffics more motion graphics work then this one. Do you know that motion artists can sit in there mommies basement and work for people in nicaragua? If you combine RSS feeds (Google Reader, yahoo reader), with SearchTempest.com + Craigslist you can start finding work around the US (both gigs & job opportunities).
OTHER HELPFUL SITES:
facebook.com, istockphoto.com (roytalty free graphics, video, music, etc) digitaljuice.com (roytalty free graphics, music, motion elements, etc.), http://www.mayang.com/textures (free commercial use textures), fontsquirrel (free commercial use fonts).
