Bakshi droppin' knowledge bombs on that ass
Its interesting, but since accepting the job in Japan, I kinda find that I don't want to go because at the end of the day I'll be working for someone as opposed to doing my thing. I knew this in my heart, but it was confirmed through watching this Ralph Bakshi comic-con knowledge session. Get this essential-ass inspiration bitches
p.s. - thoughts?

Hey there Raph. I just sent this Youtube to Corey yesterday after watching it and basically I have been feeling this way, talking this way, and going in this direction after leaving my first ever studio animation job in Atlanta last year. The "breakup" was mutual and all seeing that they had no more work left to dish out and the hunt to find the next studio was starting to become disappointing. As I was looking and looking I noticed that I kept running across the same old stuff about having a certain style in order to get in and then to be put to work only a couple of months. But if I didnt have THAT style then I wasnt eligible, even though I know how to switch back and forth, if that makes sense.
I eventually landed another gig with a studio in NY but found myself becoming miserable with the work I was doing. It was not what I wanted to do and it took me away from my own personal work. Things eventually ended there recently and I am now more happier than ever because I am doing my own thing now. Ive got a book that I am putting together, my comic and a few animation ideas as well as an animation pitch bible that I am whipping up. I am working though...but its like...not like before if that makes sense too.
Im chasing my dream to become a creator of many things; music videos, games, comics, animations...you name it.
Some say that you shouldnt follow your heart because when thinking like that you hold no logic to any decisions that you make. And to think with your mind and ignoring your heart sounds like it would just cause you to continue running around to do what is idealistic, I guess, which may eliminate the dreams you have set for yourself.
I believe you can find a happy medium with both of them to be honest. But thats just me.
Go for what you want.
Think about something you wanna do for yourself that makes you smile like crazy and gets you all hyped up about it and just go for it. Haha..okay enough rambling from me.

From my experience it's easy to have a vision.
It's hard to find someone with talent who what's in on that vision.
It's harder to find someone with talent who'll stick with your vision through to the end.
That's why I work alone.
