I was doing my occasional googling of tips and tricks for design and came across more ads for the DC Universe Online game coming out soon. I entered an animation competition back in December and ended up being one of many grand prize winners to have their animation included in the trailer for that game. I recently read that Sony will be showing that trailer at E3 so I’m excited to know my name and work will be credited and shown to many prospecting employers. Then I remembered that another benefit to winning, other than money and a free copy of the game, was that I would be a featured artist at massanimation.com, which is the sponsor and coordinator for the animation competition. I’m posting this story just to say that I’m proud to know that all my hard work, and passion for what I do, isn’t a complete waste. While being a professional athlete like my mom wanted would be cool, it’s to typical and I want to excel at something that I’m doing for myself and that could give me a better challenge in life. Well...so far so good.
