Where do you want to go as an artist/animator?

[sQueef]

well if internet people want to go to comic con to meet up then why buy tickets? Why not just meet up at some place in the parking lot and then go do fun shit* instead of wasting time and money at that gayfest.

just a thought.

*fun shit used instead of "drinking and doing drugs" because rtil would get all uppity if I said that not being sober is the funnest way to be and shit.

[f0d]

it would be interestin to meet some of you guys but im afraid i would despise everyone else at comiccon

you would but you generally have no interactivity with them, they have their own weird cosplaying shit to do

in the ng world, there seems to be a lot of debate on which path in the industry is the wisest to take, etc. I've heard a lot of opinions from people as to where they want to go. for example, some people want to go join CN and animate cartoons there, however, other people feel that it would be a miserable, controlled job with weak pay, and would opt for a different path.

so where do you want to go

Ultimately, I want to start my own company like Dreamworks, without the kids movies. Film and Animation, because I like film just as much as cartoons, but I don't have the bread for a camera. I want to animate, but I suck at drawing FOR people... Dunno what it is. At least with my own company, I can come up with the movies.

In all actuality, I haven't delved to deep in animation yet, so comics are seeming ( at this point)  to be my main point of interest.

Eh, you got plenty of time to get better at drawing for people, my man. It's all about practice and patience.



And I dno. Dreamworks isn't exactly the best example, I think, because everything in it is run by paperwork, not artists. still I get what you're saying.



Finally, I love film too. I had to work magic and win my camera, then some faggot shot it in the Amsterdam sewage system and so I resolved never to get a camera again. But I did once I got a steady job.

Damn, lol I would've been pissed. At least you got another one though. I'm saving up for a 16x9 anamorphic cam that shoots in 24 FPS. I took a high school media arts class last year as a junior, and was exposed to one for my final project. Now I can't get the feeling of that baby off my hands, I NEED my own.

That was my camera until the fiend fired upon me and killed it. Americans are HATED in alot of Europe, and I have an American accent despite being Canadian, and he decided I needed to die. I emerged physically unscathed...












... but with a broken heart. :tear:

Wait, I JUST realized you said somebody shot it. LOL Was it your first time getting shot at? It's always scary as hell, but funny later.

When I went to Europe, this little kid came up to me and told me to make him a sandwich.

I was all: " I'm not your maid, little boy."
his reponse: " Fuck you, american."

I was speechless. Upon retrospect it's funny but seriously, what scares me is how did he know I came from America if I look hispanic???

I dunno, I can always point out other ppl from Detroit, even though I'm in the burbs of the capital now. He could probably just tell you were different.

Now that would be funny. I should show go lol. I'd get jumped.

[MRat]

it was my second time being shot at. the first time was at the rifle range in cadets. My partner shot me in the foot because he's the biggest faggot ever to exist. Bigger than WAC. It just barely hit it really, only took skin of the top, and it really didnt hurt at all, but I was pissed all the same.




And it wasn't even really scary with the Dutch guy. He was clealry high and it'd take a miracle for him to hit me. I ran at him yelling and he took off.



But yes, it's a good hilarious memory.

really if you get to the point in life where the only way you can have fun is to get drunk/high your life is pretty much worthless. anyway, the reason why people meet up at the SD comic-con is because it's about a square mile worth of animation and art paraphernalia and collectibles for you and your friends to check out. you can make lots of connections there and see lots of stuff you'll probably never see again. it's hardly a "gayfest" and it sounds like you've never been to one if you think it's no fun. if you are an animator or artist, it's highly likely you'll find something there you will enjoy and be glad you went there for.

Yep. And like I said. Theoretically I'll have two issues of one comic, and another issue of a second comic cut and printed by then, and so Hans an I are planning on opening and ODD Comics both and whoring our shit to the max. And of course, I just like to meet the people I talk to online.


I'd love to meet Rtil and banter with him about the downfall of the animation industry. I'd like to meet Mindchamber and refuse to shake his hand, because apparently he thinks that's cool or something. I want to me Tom so he knows a face for the guy who keeps PMing him asking for Front Page posting abilities back.

I'd like to chill with Luis again too. He and I destroyed Frangelico and got drunk and I cooked chicken at like 3AM last time and that was a blast. I got sprayed with hot oil from the frying pan, and looking back at that, I smile.

lmaoo

if you guys set up a booth i'm sure you already know it's expensive unless you have connections .. make sure you know some people to stir up some interest in the booth so that you guys dont' end up sitting there the entire con and not sell a thing. because really it's just like the anime cons, if nobody knows who you are, and you're not selling fanart, you're pretty much wasting your time.

Well we're going to try and make connections. And I'm going to put together a ridiculous animated trailer that will maybe generate buzz online when I whore it on every single website ever.




Also, I'm pretty damn good at talking people into buy shit they don't even want. I should be able to just stop people and mindfuck them into submission and bring them to our booth.




















And God yes it's expensive. Luckily Hans has all sorts of money.

Or if you aren't a porn star who's at the con for (?) reasons

I'm going to shoot for either SCAD Atlanta, or an arts institutes college. Full Sail is also an option. I've heard terrible things about some of Full Sail's departments, but great things about others.

After getting a Bachelors.... uh.. that's as far as I've thought through so far. I guess I'd like to start a studio eventually, but I don't see that realistically happening. I'll probably end up working underpaid for some large animation studio.

$25 per hour starting wages is nothing to gawk at my friend!!
