(no subject)
Sarah and I met a couple weeks ago and had a brainstorming session. We want to write (and hopefully shoot) three shorts by the end of the year. We have plenty of time, so it should get done.
It came up because I was talking about how I still wanted to at least give film a shot. I never got a chance to really do anything with it. I never actually made anything. So we had a brainstorming session and I have a draft of one now.
It's kind of sparked a new interest in film for me. I was looking at video games, but because of the lack of places I can go for school for it (i.e. good places that I can afford), I started to worry about how that would work. And the more I think about it, the more I think, I really don't want to do that. I would love to work in video games. But I think what I would love most is writing them. Not necessarily writing scripts and whatnot, but like coming up with the ideas and stories for games. I would love to lead game design. I'm not really interested in actually modeling, or doing skins, or anything like that. I guess what I'm interested in most is the sort of film aspect of video games. Tony talks about how he wants to start a game company with his friends from school, and he wants to give people jobs, so who know, maybe I will get a shot at it some day.
But back to the new interest in film. I don't know what it is, the idea of working in film is just amazing to me. Getting to write stories and bring them to life. I love movies. I may not be one of those guys that watches movies all the time, but it's one of my favorite things to do regardless. I know it would be a lot of hard work getting and staying in the industry, and we all know how I'm not big on hard work, but it seems like the most satisfying thing I could pursue as far as a career.
I've been thinking that I want to check out actually going to school for it. I didn't want to before because of all the stuff I've heard about how it's kind of a waste of time. But I feel like it would help me a lot. Who knows if I'd actually get a degree, I just want to start taking classes. I'm not really excited to take Grossmont film classes, but the goal would be to transfer to State. I've heard they have an alright program, but I don't know if that's true or not. Looking at the stuff for the major, it looks to be a bitch to even get into. It says you need a 3.0, which would mean I would actually have to start making sure I get good grades. I need an A in some class because I got a C last semester due to my Econ professor being an ass. At least I think if I got an A that would bring it up, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, thinking about it I feel like if I'm going to go to school, I would like to go to school for film. I
know I've probably said that about going to school for video games or drawing for comics, or whatever in the past few weeks, but whatever. Fuck to be honest, I don't know if this is really want I want. I don't know what I want. I'm at a point where I can pretty much start moving in any direction I want towards some career. I just need to pick the way I want to go. There are a few things that really interest me, and right now I'm deciding to go to school for film. Obviously I've changed my mind about that before, and I may change my mind about it again, but my plan right now is to go talk to a councilor at Grossmont about transferring to State.
We'll just have to wait and see how things play out.
