Spoon Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I always wanted to teach people games for a living. Ever since I learned my first board game I have loved them. So far so good, I travel from store to store promoting this and that to the communities and host events for games I excel in. I love it, and want to work with games for the rest of my life.

ThePandaDirector Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Firstly, sorry for the long post. When I was really young I went through the usually policeman, fireman sort of stuff, then I wanted to be an illustrator or something. I remember seeing the behind-the-scene features for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and was amazed by the artwork and design process for all the creatures and monsters. Then I realized I couldn't draw. Then I wanted to be an author, because I liked writing and had a short story published when I was 12. Then I realized I could probably never write anything more than two dozen pages long. Then I wanted to be an archeologist, because my school had an absolutely amazing history department - including a teacher of the year - and I've always loved history, plus I was watching Two Men in a Trench at the time. But then I realised that rocks and piecies of old pottery weren't as cool as the history books and TV shows show them to be. Ironically I don't have a good enough imagination for archeology. After that I tried to think of every job, with preasure mounting since I needed to apply to universities, but I just couldn't think of anything fulfilling. Then I watched Shaun of the Dead, and everything changed. I saw it a lot later than everyone else, but when I did I couldn't help but notice the editing style, the sound effects, the writing, etc, etc. I watched the behind-the-scenes and got yet another glimpse into the film industry and thought "That looks like a cool place to belong to". But my problem was I couldn't do anything - camera, sound, editing - so I decided to be a director. It's strange how a single career can combine all your passions into one. Filmmaking combines my love of art, history, music, literature and of course films. As long as I have money in my bank - oops - I can make films about anything, anywhere, surrounded by the kind of talanted people I could only dream of being. And best of all, at the end of the day I get to see the glimer in people's eyes as they embrace the world I have created, for them. Maybe one day I'll make a Malifaux film, or get a proper job instead. Like working for Wyrd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
