30 Day Challenge Day 17
What do I wanna be when I growed up.
Well seeing how I’m already 30, what I wanna be when I’m older from this is a home owner.
Ugh, so lame. I want to have my own show. Which is why I’m pitching. I want to keep working in animation, so I might as well work on my own show right? That would be the dream!If we answer this question retroactively, when I was younger, I wanted to be an astronaut. Then I wanted to be a paleontologist. Then I wanted to be a marine biologist. Only when I hit college did I decide I wanted to get into animation. The short version is, I never really thought about what I would do after high school. I got into Mobile Suit Gundam and learned that Yoshiyuki Tomino, the creator, went to film school before working in the animation industry. So naturally, I thought, “Hey, I’ll go to film school, move to Japan, work in anime, and then direct a new Gundam series! EASY!”
Clearly I have changed my stance. I don’t want to work in Japan or in anime. I want to work here. On my own show. Or on another show. Whatever.
