"I'm currently taking up MMA because of the field it covers; it covers almost everything from advertising to whatever type of media available (video, music/sound, cg, etc)."
yeah warning though MMA covers everything but only the basics, they will probably miss out on most of the important stuff, jack of all trade master of none type of course, kinda a dean lister MMA graduate but my forte is 2d/3d more into 3d
Ofrasio XD Ms. Dolores/Dolly Ofrasio yeah i remember her XD she was my Natsca professor, one of the so called terror teachers but didnt feel like it though XD
okays tips about maybe when you start job hunting later or so
1. when you start job hunting on the smaller studio a generalist will do but when you apply for the bigger ones they want specialist already so its a good idea to probably start thinking what do you really want to specailize in or what do you really enjoy doing the most
2. if your planning on character animation, for one master the 12 principles of animation after youve done that a bit of acting helps ^^ warning though there isnt much openings for character animators here though
3.2d concept artist- you should be able to do anything from vehicles to characters of any kind kid, old lady, fat old lady etc etc not much openings also for that job here
3. 3d...is a monster to tackle warning you already as early as now because 3d is such a monster to tackle on the smaller scale studios probably a generalist will do,
but on the meduim scale to large studios they want specialist, as in 3d is roughly divided into Modeling, Animation, Rigging, FX, Texturing...and the meduim to bigger scale studios would ask you what is really is your specialty among those for me Modeling is main forte the others i am just pretty much average with it
so if you decide you want 3d to be your specialty you have to decide also what area of 3d mostly like a said 3d is a monster to handle XD
4. other subjects i dont know XD didnt focus on those and its not my forte XD i am 3d/2d person XD
5. the most abundant job openings here is for graphic artist and web (which kinda suck because i am just average with graphic design and suck at web) at least the good news is 3d is also pretty much a bit in demand here but currently not much openings for that for the moment.
Ah crap my memory messed up lol. If you're talking about Ms. Dolly (which i'm not sure if that was really her name), my subject didn't get its prof reassigned then. She does seem "terror" probably because of the pressure she puts, but she spoon-feeds us with important stuff regarding 2D and 3D.
And yeah, I'm either planning on becoming a concept artist or #5, if it doesn't work, I've got other opportunities (which i hope i'll enjoy just in case).
Edit:
Happy Birthday, BD! Your name does kind of resemble a smiley though.
