It's nearly my first month of being a NEET.
NEET stands for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training".
Maybe we can take away the "Training" part ^^''... been working my ass off practicing gesture drawings. But I seem to be going no where with that...., I feel a slight improvement in the understanding of drawing the anatomy, but I'm far from being able to create a proper human posture from scratch.... There's still so much to learn.
As for my portfolio.... I doubt I can even finish it in 2 months.... I'm still trying to find that "style". But taking into consideration that Australian animation companies DO NOT like anime, I can't really add anime works into my portfolio... or they'll instantly reject me.
Last Monday, I spoke to the founder of Keyframe Cops, Matt Walsh.
He gave me a lot of useful advice for conquering the multimedia and animation industry in Australia:
1. Always put your best works in your portfolio
2. Set up a website so that employers can look at it instead of just your portfolio.
3. Be unique, create something that no one has ever seen before, make it priceless.
4. Do not put obscene or offending images in your portfolio (In my case, half naked women hahaha!)
5. Create a simple showreel, a short animation clip that emphasizes on the 12 principles of animation.
6. Less is more, only if the works are outstanding.
Yeap, it was really nice of him to give me advices as well. At first it was meant to be a discussion about what I did during my previous job experience. But oh well, THANKS MATT :D!
I really hope I can pull this, I'm starting to think that I have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) cuz it's taking too long for me to pump out a portfolio.... and I love getting distracted by little things such as fiddling with the last tissue paper to try and maximise the usage of it, or cleaning my table countless times cuz of little smudges on the glass.
Oh dear <_<''.......
