trying to sort out my loans....my dad earnt a lot less so i'll probably get a grant which is gd because with loans you have to pay it back.i'm already 3,000 quid in debt for this years loans *sighes* been busy looking at what i need for next year. my desk and chair are broke so got to get new ones.then there are the programs: script writer,photoshop illustrator, photoshop elements,etc. gonna get a dictophone thingie as well so i can record the lectures and play it back when writing essays cause it was so hard trying to remember shit. erm then i got to sit down and work out how much it is going to cost to get the train every day for a year so i can take it out my grant/loan/whatever.
also been talking to my mate richard. he says he won't be doing animation next year probably.he is going to take up fine art or go to some other place. he wants to start his band up you see and with animation he doesn't really get time.plus he says he wants to party and animation is a bit geeky. as for me, i love geeky and can do it to a tee
if animation makes you geeky then go ahead and call em geeky and just forget those deep meaningful song lyrics i wrote
lol
on the plus side,the photoshop tutorials are going very well. i am slowly learning how to create shit like water and trees in it as well as different textures,etc.hopefully i'll be alright when we go back to lessons on the 18th sept..though enrollment is the week before for second years. oh and decended i want to do a tv series with nothing but songs in them. get a few musicians and singers together and write music for my lyrics and you never know BAFTA for animation and music genius from a whole new generation of talented little buggers lol.
seriously though i'm on a mission. i have held back too long. it's dawned on me i have a gift. i mean come on 15 years old and i get my first gig at a cartoon studio and still there 5 years later.how many people can proudly say that?worked on shows with alan titchmarsh and stephen fry in them. another credit to my name.i have loads of film ideas....counted about ten i have wrote down in a little book labelled ideas.also got another tv series planned. u know when you have faced what i have over the last year (the depression,etc) and you survive, well it is true what they say: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and by jove, it seems to have done that to me.
so if in ten years you see me on tv, you know the plumber's son made it .
