The Five Year Plan


I'm not really a believer in micromanagement of my life, but I think having a goal is always important. Currently, I'm seeing the fruition of one goal I had set myself - completing the Technical Art course at TAFE. Now with that out of the way, I've found myself at a crossroads - finding a direction to go from here. Do I find full time work? Or move on to further studies? All the while working on other projects in my free time from home.

I've been weighing up the pros and cons of both and come to the decision that I gain more from going to University than risking it on my own now. I might come out of University thinking "that was a waste of time", but it's preferable to looking back at my life some 10-20 years down the line and realizing it was a mistake NOT to take further studies. At least I gain a Bachelors degree and two years experience from one plan, and it doesn't stop me looking for work.

So with that out of the way, here's my 2009 showreel that I displayed at theTAFE 2009 Multimedia Expo. Looking forward to posting up more about personal projects in the coming months.

Firstly, Demo reel is looking god damn awsome man.
Secondly Uni sounds good man, I'm doing the same thing.. decided to go murdoch. Turned out that article I read was bullshit, murdoch has had the highest student employment success rating for something like 13 years.

I was looking at the lets make games blog and thinking we should probably get going on setting up our team, get a website up and get some sort of pressence with the local game community, what do you think?
