Well I must say I am gratefied with the thoughtful and serious response my posting got. The question has come up for my because well my carreer as an animation background artist seems to have died on the vine. Ever since as a kid watching Warner Bros. cartoons and roadrunner and wilely e coyote that's what I wanted to do. And since '94 after starting that carreer with a company called International Rocketship working on a Tales from the Farside animated special I have worked off and on as a background artist using traditional tools and materials to - Photoshop. For the past five years I worked at StudioB on several shows. My other job is as a set painter on live action movies and TV shows. This too has died off, things are slow in the industry. So my ideal job would be to use my skills as a modeller to do stuff for the movies but well I seem to not have the drive to apply myself to get these jobs. So maybe if I didn't build models as a hobby that energy would end up being used to get the job I want. I seem to be stuck.
I wonder if like TV watching, this modelling I do for fun actually is like a drug, an addiction. Have any of you seen that movie "Requiem of a Dream?" Its quite interesting. Its just that someone I'm getting counselling from suggested I sell all my models and that energy would go into other areas. |
