Storyboard

Here's the storyboard for my mid-term project. I'm still using my abandoned sidekick character that I've been developing.
Also this was the first storyboard, I've ever made, and it took me alot longer than I thought it would.

Internships cont.

While talking with Gatsby, I realized that I don't exactly know where I want to end up, and that I need to take inventory of what I want to do and go from their. Also that I don't have an up-to-date resume, as the last one I made was, I don't know how long ago. So I got some resume templates and have been slowly putting one together. Lastly, I should also figure out what each one of the companies I'm interested in requires, and start getting everything together.

Since, I don't exactly know where I want to go with my career, I tried to pick places that pertain to my different interests with an emphasis on jobs that deal with both art and technical subjects. So I picked one animation company, one game developer, and one advertising media firm.

1. Radical Axis - http://www.radicalaxis.com/newweb/home.html

Listed two interesting internships:
- Motion Graphics/Broadcast Designer
- 2D Animator

Creating and working on my some of my favourite animations currently on the air, Radical Axis studio, based in Atlanta GA, would be an ideal place for me to gain experience through an internship. With a unique sense of humour evident through shows such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Squidbillies, they would be an interesting place to explore what I plan to do as a career. With a heavy interest in both technology and art, Radical axis would be great studio to explore the interaction between the two.



Now they don't have an official postings for internships, I'm still gonna give it a shot.

Captivating my imagination since I was about 8 years old with the release of Half-Life, Valve software has been my go to company for my gaming habits. What really interests me about them is their philosophy and position on how making games should happen. With small groups branching of to work together on what interests them at the time, they aren't just an assembly line. Along with giving employees time to pursue personal projects, I believe that valve would be an excellent place to foster my passion for the intersection of art and technology.



Being a local of Montgomery, I'm familiar LWT along with their work, and ever since middle school when I actually shadowed one of their employee's for a day, they've seemed like a creative and interesting company to work for. Involved in the marketing and branding on companies through print, web, interactive, and social medias, working at LWT would let me be involved in multiple areas I'm interested in. I could find a marketable place for me to use my passion for art and technology to find a career path that I would hopefully be as passionate about.
