What do you do for a living? Or plan to do..

And does the army pay fir you?

Whoa, I have two posts. Weird. I'm looking into being a federal investigator with FBI, CIA, ATF, etc. The Army did pay for it mostly. Well they paid for most my undergrad degree. My Masters degree is all out of my own pocket.

if your hoping for traditional animation the closest you will find is in your 2d animation class, and they just teach that so you know how to do it, none of the animation studios use pencil testing and all that anymore, all through software now its rare for anything more than the storyboards and pitch to be on paper

Well hopkins you can do it still, it's just harder because it's not catered to anymore, most places don't even have mpc's anymore. if you do it on your own though it could still turn out awesome, and there won't be the external limitations and what not placed on your passion, so don't give up.

you could always transition your hand drawings to flash or maya and animate them that way. I know that's how most animators do it these days. start pen and paper thumbnails, then scan and continue to design and move on to the animation process.

skynet may be here, but its always good to have the hand drawn skills. never know when your interviewer asks if you can do some quick thumbs as part of the interview. or if your in a bar (doing social networking) and someone has a wild eyed idea and you can draw it out as he speaks it. never know if that lands you a job simply because you were able to do things most cant.

quick edit: reminds me of a lecture one of my professors told me while we were studying hand drawn thumbnails and animations. one of the students asked "if we can do all this better on computer, why bother doing it by hand?" . professor said " what if your meeting with a client who has a choice between two designers, you bring your fully fleshed out computer comp and the compitition brings theirs. the client wants to make a small change and describes it to you, then while you boot up your laptop, launch the program, and start making changes, your competition has already effectively sketched out the clients ideas, discussed a revision and has another sketch ready to go. hes impressed the client, made revisions based on the clients needs and effectively conveyed the will of the client within their design all in the 5 minutes for you to finish dicking with your computer.

Had an important epiphany at school today. I think I am going to double major in Social and Educational Psychology. I want to go into the Honours program, so I need to buckle down and stop coasting. To all the psychologists out there, any suggestions? I am pretty certain I have the grades to apply 76% average with 80% in a second year psych course minimum, however, I want to do really well.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
