Cyner-G’s Journal

Simple. It only took three years to figure out. Animation is still not my first choice for a major. It’s actually a compromise. Special effects is what I am after, but there are no schools around where I am at for this, and money is very tight. So animation was the next best thing, very closely related to Visual effects, and I happened to live in a town where they have a decent program at my community college.

To me, special effects and animation can combine art, math, science, humor, history, and playing in the mud. No joke, I usually end up fingerpaintng no matter what I’m working on. Ok, maybe not on the computer. But think about it, special effects make-up is playing with mud on people’s faces!! Claymation is duh, clay!! Both of these outlets are so hands-on and require a knowlege of science, chemistry, art, and rudimentary physics (how to make something that’s falling look believeable?). Sure, architecture may have math and art, etc. But I want to play in the mud.
