...
as for on the moment just job hunting
aspirations my future though or my dream job or jobs i am have to work hard for:
Current Job Targets:
Nothing in particular but to work be able to work for an animation/game studio first and build job/work experience from there first
if its an 2d animation studio aiming for animator if its a 3d animation/game studio either modeler, animator or 2d artist one (though 2d artist would a bit hard since people that specialize in 2d artist job opening they expect you to be excellent at painting anything XD i only excel with characters ....backgrounds......XD i mean i understand the lighting and such for backgrounds but i have a hard time translating those ideas to the
backgrounds but with characters its very easy for me.)
and go to seminars, take short courses here and there to get better and such
Target After like 5 years or more....something that i might do in the long run i really enjoy doing XD
Path 1. Art director (i dont mind being an art director i kinda enjoy being an art director rather than a director lol in the long run actually its kinda fun XD its like being a director but you only handle the artistic side of the production, plus i get to act like a kid again to release my creativity, or if i am lucky get my own personal project in the works), Senior/Lead Animator (i've always loved animation and i come up with these crazy ideas or short stories out of the blue very easily also my professors also noticed i am very good at giving characters a character which is actually something hard for most people to do.......okay that didnt sound right hehehehehe LOL you know what i mean XD now i just have to master the principles) , Senior/Lead Modeler (well i enjoy modeling characters as well in 3d from wicked dragons to mechs to characters wearing power armor and such..... WEEEEE BUNNIES!!!.... LOL)
locally
Probably while working well ii am always eager to learn so take short courses here or something that will develop my skill even furthur like just basic acting (for animators, so that i can give my character animation a more natural look or even to help develop characters better),
Path 2. Try applying abroad again but as entry level positions at bigger studios ...like pixar,disney,lucas etc well you get the idea and such and work my way up from there... if that doesnt work
apply for entry level positions locally at bigger studios like toon city and such and work my way up and try again abroad...point is ill keep trying till my last breath.
Path 3. Probably something in 10 years or more...might sound crazy...well start my own little animation studio locally or like after 20 years or such one in abroad LOL XD as in a complete animation studio from preprod phase all the way till post-prod and maybe create little animated shorts for the fun of it.
As for sideline stuff or freelance stuff maybe in the future.
2d character artist - i like to sketch and draw characters XD
Voice Actor- well think of it this way what is the role of an animator? to give life to a lifeless object, thus acting helps, thus if you know how act you'll probably know how to voice act..also yeah during college time actually i would usually help my college friends voice acting some of their characters or help develop the characters of their story to give it more personality, also one of my friends noticed when he was working on an animated short on his thesis when i tried voice acting on one of his characters XD he was surprissed as he put it "bakit on camera nahihiya halos hindi ka makasalita pero pag off cam kuhang kuha mo naman un character...lol" or i remember during 2nd year college where i had to direct a play i would usually step in and go "no no like this i mean your angry right so really throw out your voice to really show your angry, fix arms raise your fist or something" lol wala ako magawa dun but of cam it feels so easy for me to act out the scene and such how everything will go pero on cam na i am stiff as a board XD so voice actor na lng LOL at least voice actor off cam
Part-time art teacher LOL XD i actually enjoy teaching XD

Jobs i am avoiding in the long run
Web Designer- A big no no for me no matter how many times i try i am no good with web design.
Photography-i have nothing against photography i would probably do it from time to time just for reference but i don't enjoy it as an idea or work
Graphic Designer-i am just so so with graphic design and i don't really enjoy it.....
Character Rigger (for those of you who don't know someone who sets up a 3d character ready for animation)- for me i find this job.....boring
UV Mapper/Texture Artist (again for those that dont know, this job is basically someone who creates or fixes the textures of a 3d model making sure it doesn't break and such when it comes down to animation)...also another job i find boring >_<
Programmer-i am actually very good with understanding program logics and such but i find it boring though
