Turning Things Over in My Head

Sep 09, 2010 00:09

Okay, I've been doing more thinking about this whole career thing, so I'm finally going to do an entry about it. Might at well put a cut in case this gets too long.

Lauren Montgomery has a Deviant Art account, I think. I remember someone linking to it when she talked about the possibility of a Batgirl: Year One movie getting made (and then not getting made). I think she may have a blog as well.

I found both her blog and Deviant Art account, but no direct way to contact her on there. I feel like I should be able to find her on my alumni directory.

Yeah, I'm in my program for another 2 years, so I can take my time. Also, thanks for the encouragement!

I think you are old enough to know that you'll get lot's of rejections but all you need is one "yes." So once you embolden yourself for that, you're set. Having a lot of options is great because from a statistically point of view, it shifts more toward your favor.

I would suggest emailing Dwayne McDuffie, too. He's got a lot of contacts in the industry, experience, and works on Ben 10 so he could be a great aid. I've spoken to him before through email on various things, and he's always quick to reply and very helpful. dmcduffie@mac.com

Yeah, I figure if I'm going to have to go to multiple places before I find something, I should start with my first choice.

Thanks for recommending Dwayne McDuffie, I didn't even think of him! Okay, I'll see where e-mailing him takes me.

No problem, I hope something comes of it. McDuffie's the coolest guy I can think of to help you out, his nickname is The Maestro for goodness sake. ;)

He's the only DC animated vet I can think with an 'official' email. Most of the others only have near-neglected blogs or half-dead Deviant Art pages.

Second Micheal's suggestion on emailing Dwayne McDuffie. He always answers his emails and he must get a ton of them.

That's a great Mari Devon story!

Yeah, I'm going to look into it.

And small world concerning Mari Devon, eh?
