question for anybody that has made money off of flash

[CoolDrMoney]

I feel like a total faggot typing all of this post.

I want to get into the movie-making industry producing shit similar to darren aronofsky, shane acker, don hertzfeldt, the like. I know its farfetched, but not trying is for gays and gayer gays.

I have a real shitty plan to get there.

-Graduate from edinboro with a cinema BFA with a top-effort portfolio and a demo reel for my senior year.
-Apply to several hundred studios. Applying online\\\'s for chumps, but traveling to find all of them would be way too much. I\\\'d have to make a hit list of every decent-looking studio in america and apply as much as possible to every job possible. I wouldn\\\'t mind doing back-fucking-yardigans. I\\\'d hate the content but it\\\'s fucking something.
-If that fails (most likely) I\\\'d have to end up with a reliable linear source of income, so fast food or something would have to suffice, if not some office job through family connections, maybe live with my sister.
-No matter what job I land I\\\'d be working on something on the side to get noticed for writing and arting and stuff. I have a movie idea in writing now.

I\\\'m thinking of double majoring in art education for a more sturdy thing to get into.

Yeah you can't just be like OOOO I SAW THIS ONE THING THIS GUY MADE I WANNA DO IT TOO.

Without industry experience, you're another guy who watches movies with a piece of paper from a college.

Well I forgot to mention that that was the "creative thing on the side in college and in the workforce afterward"

[rtil]

well uh if you're doing a cinema BFA you'd probably be making that short film in school or at least starting it there

I didn't mean that, I meant just doing stuff similar to that in the film industry. They're my source of inspiration. I'd like to make movies that interest an audience. I'd of course start with this short I'm writing that would summarize the meat of the movie. I'd hate to do this like shane acker with 9 but it seems like a good way to show off a movie idea, and alone a good idea for a 10 minute short. I'd elaborate on the movie idea and the short but I'm still writing. :>

You can't hop into the director's chair right off the bat. You need to work on video/film shoots and get a feel for how everything works. I do a lot of production crew work and grunt work on shoots. Film doesn't interest me in the slightest. I hate shooting film and I hate being on camera. But working on these shoots is great experience and allows me to build up contacts.

Yeah shit I was feeling too ambitious with this project. I can't do the short in college because I can't direct it after. I have to rethink my whole plan thing. Thanks rob.
I don't plan now on working with film or video on a set, but with animation studios, but I imagine the workplace is pretty similar. I'd like to just get into the workforce and get to know people at first. I need that to be my primary objective in my college times. I have to start detailing plans. shit shit shit shit shit
