What started the idea of working in the VFX world?

I one day decided to move across the country with not knowing what my new life would be taking me. Most people in my life think it is insane to adventure out in the movie magic business mostly because to them, it is an unrealistic, unsteady job that will take me no where but debt. Now unlike them, I saw it differently. With have been in college for five years, majoring in business management at which was clearly wrong for me, I was extremely unhappy ..... to the point where I wanted to poke my eyes out if I had to attend another decsion science course or something unrelated to my major.


With have just graduated at The Walt Disney World College Program ( yes, it is an internship in the parks and no it is not an actual college), I did not feel it was time for me to head back home so I stayed in Florida 4 more years until I finally ran into The Dave School. Now before I go on, I am not here to help promote the school itself, this is based solely on my experience ..... whew.... ok continuing on.


I randomely one day was searching for art schools and decided right then and there I was going to go to a trade school to learn actual skills. I knew nothing about Maya, or how to build a character or compose a 3d model.... I barely knew how to turn on the computer. Well, a year later, I learned not only that but also how to make a 3d model, texture, animate and composite all these elements into one. My love for film grew with the more knowledge that I gained.


Which leads me to today. A starving artist at you will who is scared out of their mind and has to set out in the big industry for the first time.
