Ever since I have been studying for a degree, my mind wanders on what I would be in the future. I doubt it would be an animator or a 3D designer... because there are people out there outclass me in any way possible. What I was sure about was to do something about the media, be it PR or advertising, broadcast or print.
So after my internship is over and I returned to campus and everything has settled for the holidays, I have my goals set for the first time in 3 years: writing.
Writing for TV/movies specifically.
For those are wondering why, here's why: I had always had a knack of writing stories and creating stories, since high school. Every essay choices during exams I picked is ALWAYS narrative, because it is not very restricting, the words flow much easier compared to writing a factual/descriptive/reflective. Most of all, you NEVER need to worry about being under the word count (Though you need to watch out the time restrictions, because you know, it is a test after all). Which is WHY I ventured Film & Animation, because that's the only majoring that is anything remotely related to storytelling.
So there are two ideas I am tinkering right now:
-FYP idea. Our theme is about "Rhythm", so I need some associations about this particular word. No cliched music-driven animation (Though it would be after all that), so it is about music, rhythmic patterns in life.
Possibly would be done in Motion Graphics and some green screening (Not going to call it a VFX because it isn't).
-Writing my first TV script. I meant it to be pitched somewhere (I doubt it would be here. Possibly in the US). This is fo sho, y'all! I drafted the story outline in a short story form to check out any flaws and fix it before it would be turned into a script.
I sent the story out to some of my friends and got pretty mixed reviews... Not bad for a first timer but I still need some fine tuning to make it appealing.
That's all for now. Signing off.
