Blog #1: Wormhole into the Future (Words of Wisdom to the Distressed Me)


Future Randi in April 2012,

Okay so I know you’re stressing out right now.  Do you remember when you signed up for this class and you weren’t so sure that it would work out because you hadn’t taken one of the prerequisite classes, but you decided to stick with it because you needed to figure out if animation was REALLY what you wanted to do with your life? Well maybe it’s time you revisit that. Remember the reasons why you decided to study animation and eventually CGI/SPFX. You want to create; you’re an artist! You’ve always been creative and you’ve always loved making things from nothing. You want to create something that will last and that will be known unto others. You LOVE movies, especially the ones with CGI/SPFX, or animated characters like the ones from Disney and Pixar. You want to create something that has a meaningful purpose so that you feel fulfilled when it’s all said and done. And lastly, you want a successful career that makes you good money to support a family. You stuck it out until this long, so remember why you’re doing what you’re doing. You are in this class to achieve much bigger dreams in the future. It may seem hard and stressful right now, but this will prepare you for your journeys ahead. Stay strong and work smarter not harder. Don’t forget your whole picture, and keep being creative. I hope you learned a lot in this course and didn’t let it defeat you. I hope you came out on top and passed the class with an A or B regardless of what Tarr said the odds were. So go kickass these last few weeks and do your best! Good luck!!

Love,

Past You From January 9, 2012
