Career in movie or game industry
Hello there, i am new to here, and i really can't decide for what to do for my career.
I am passionate and hardcore gamer, i always wanted to be part on team creating games, especially game like star wars old republic,Wildstar and WoW, so MMORPG.
But, where i live, there isn't game studio, there is only a VFX studio that work for blockbuster movies, sadly they don't do modeling,sculpting, etc, they just are doing matchmoving, rotoscoping, compositing and matte paitning.
I want to do modeling/sculpting, texturing that kind of things. So, i thought, because the VFX studio give every year, a place for intern people, in matchmoving and rotoscoping, i would go there to earn some money, and see how they work, and in my free time to learn modeling?
I don't think that i can make it, because they work almost 10h, and when i came back home, i will be dead tired, and i would run to bed, that sitting again o the PC for 4hours or so.

Decide what to be then go be it.
Simple as that. Do what you love. If there isnt a game job around... move.

Your best bet would be to learn by yourself and move to a place that does offer what you want.

When he finished his degree at Abertay he made this, and it landed him a job at Double Negative as a roto artist (entry position).
Back to your question, I think slipsius has got it spot on 'Do what you love.' If you work on 10hours of something you love, it'l go by much faster then 8hours of something you like. If you've got the ambition, don't let anything hold you back! (que motivating music)
Aww I've just applied to Jagex O.o
How can i get shipped title? And yes, i can't wait to move somewhere else, London, Canada or USA, but i can see that, it is impossible to get work visa in London and USA, and it is much easier to get visa in Canada.
unless your work is amazing your not going to go straight to Bioware or Blizzard. Keep them as a goal and work in that direction. Decide what role you want to fill and keep improving it.
