When I think about breaking into the industry, the path that will get me there will most certainly be built on relationships and exposure. No one will see you in the dark, unless you shine a light, or unless you were born with incredible night vision.
As I plan ahead in my mind, I see myself working the independent business owner circuit providing digital media services to help expand their businesses. On my own time, I would like to produce a few shorts of different genres. Ideally, I would have complete creative control and use all my skills to create the projects.
It would be amazing to gain exposure through an original work and become famous overnight. But, realistically, I think that I will have to stay in touch with the technology, fellow creators, and social networking sites to get my work out there.
I think that it is fair to say that I will have to take some chances. It is easier to do it now as a no name industry professional than to be a famous somebody and risk that that chance you took may not come out in your favor.
Lastly, I also have come to the conclusion that I have to be an active part in my media creations. I need to maintain dignity about my work and pride. Now that I am ending my school days and stepping into my days as an industry professional, I want nothing more than to produce the kind of work that I can be proud of.
