Employed, Finally!
I've found a job!
Visit the studio's site: http://animasia-studio.com/
I was hoping for some conceptual responsibilities, but well, I'm a fresh graduate, and I'm not from animation background. :P (graphic design mah) So I'll be doing, as my interviewer i.e. the Animation Director himself says, the in-betweens. I understand the term as tweening from Macromedia Flash™ (which is the very software the Studio uses mostly to develop projects).
What tweening entails is that I'll be given two keyframes. Keyframe One is what is about to happen. Keyframe Two is what happened. So in between what is about to happen and what happened, I'll have to draw them all. All in all, I am the one who make a cartoon character walked from point A to point B. Everything will be done in Flash™. A lot of drawing to be done ... and non-involvement in the creative process. I am at the receiving end of the conceptual development hierarchy. Fuck ...
I'm telling myself then I'm giving the Studio a year (they are giving me 2 weeks instead). After a year, if I'm not about to be involved in the creative process, I'll fire the Studio! Hahahaha!
Anyways, work starts on this Friday, 1st of June.
Now, why on earth am I involved in the animation field, you may ask. I'm not even interested in this fanfare myself. The reason is that more than one source, one time and situation wherein someone told me I should be in the animation field from observing my drawings. So I told myself, what the heck, lets give it a try. Given the luxury of time, choice, etc, I'll illustrate children's book, develop funny clip arts and design commercial posters.
So now I've two days time to brush up my Flash™ commands. I'm thinking of purchasing a lil handbook tonight to help me do just that.
Well, say good luck to my next deviation in my career journey! (I started with two years in a business school, then I moved to graphic design, and now I'm in the mentioned field.)

Unemployed/Relaxed
It's been well over a month and a half, and I've yet to land on a job.
The truth is I am reluctant to get a job. All my effort has been a little and small. I have a diploma in graphic design, so I am supposed to get a career in the graphic design field or at least related to it.
Lemme justify my procrastinating habit a bit.
The horror stories of the advertising and graphic working environment are starting to get into me. And I've experienced part of it, which had really gave me a horrible lasting impression. I felt like I'm being bullied everyday AND night, and not even a moment to hide in a corner to weep. When I was bullied in school, I at least have the night to cry myself to bed.
But they said no work is effortless. They said when your pay is RM1000, the company expects a return from you multiplied 100 times your pay.
But this is the system being used for centuries by billions of people. China, the last stronghold of the workers' paradise, is also giving way to capitalism. I am a fucking lazy pig.
Ok, you'd prolly asking me what I wanna do then. I like to answer myself too. I like to draw. Make clip art and create cartoons. Illustrate children's book. Work for the sake of beauty, comedy and living.
I don't wanna work for survival. I wanna work for myself. Maybe I should run my own business. XD Yeah rite. Where do I get the money? :P Silly me
