This is so great! I'm so proud of you pumpkin! Tell us more!
hkjdfhfk thank you!!! <3333
It’s a little complicated of a situation, but basically the artschool i intended to a few years ago opened a new school just now specialized in manga, video games and animation (the “video game and animation” being the one that is.... really eyeing me). The school itself is kinda selling itself more as a “formation school” than a school, as in, it is supposed to make us in contact with compagnies around the world. (I could meet some of the animators working for the school when I went on the open door days).
The problem is that the school is kinda expensive and out of our means so a lot of things need to unlock for it to work - Regardless tho, they had a introduction internship planned for this week. And since the artschool somehow remembers me (i’m actually shocked the provisors remembered me i was shit. I may have had a diploma from it but d u d e h o w), even if i came aware of the internship quite late, the provisors still let my internship contract pass because they know I would show up and such. (and, if anything, while the internship would work well to get me into the school (since places are extremely limited), both the diploma i have, my history in their school, and how i apparently impressed the provisors and intervenants during the open doors day, if the money gets to happen i *should* have a place more easily*)
*The Open doors days were w i l d, they had animators and such present the program and i could talk to a couple of people and the more i elaborated both on my formations and my passions and why i was interested I was getting very interested reactions and like, it reminds me that *i have qualifications*. I’m bilingual which is always a plus and it still shocks me that people even more when i mention it casually or how i became so for trivial purposes. I have experience in langue and history schools and translation and such, i have a cultural background, a confirmation in art - and my own personal interests and analyses align with the kind of mindset they want, i spent hours rambling about animation and gaming and technical aspects like.
ANYWAY the Internship - is sooooo great? So far it’s mostly introduction to Game Design, and all the jobs that are available in it - from handling Photoshop and 3D’s programs (note to self 3D programs are a lowkey form of death), to analysing the marketting, to even explore the writting aspect of a production of a project, and all the things that must be taken into account by a productor (what to use, what purpose does it serves, thinking about level designs, about how it supports your project ect..). All of that with game trivia analysis in the middle.
And we’re only 7 so we’re closely followed and in a really cool espace and I’m handling it quite well, more or less (again, battling against the 3D program and yelling but *technically* i’m managing). And there’s a good ambiance in general.
so djkhfd maybe it’s too early to say “it’s going well!” and it finishes tomorrow afternoon so i’m midway through the internship, but ye this is really the sort of ambiance i really like and it’s not nearly as stressful as I expected. And it makes me realize that in a team, this is maybe the kind of elements I could eventually feel more at ease into.
Also i’m really getting along with the teacher and we talked a lot, and she compliments either my job a lot (which still baffles meeee, but at the same time there’s an aspect of it that makes me confident. Ie we had to make a “fake video game pitch” at some point and make a cover for it with a summary and all, and i was preparing mine and she went behind me and went “this is really good! and it’s really well written!” and my reaction was “ye, i’m glad i found the right police character” and she was like “no. I mean, the synthaxe.” “AH. Thanks.” i’m an idiot) or she is really enthusiast by how enthusiast i am (i keep replying all her questions like “do you know what are the different parts of the developpers’s works” and I was just, always mentioning something dkfhdkff she knew my name after 3 hours bc of how talkative i was about all of those)
idk there’s something so validating to see my passion on stuff being validated and see i can make a decent work applying it i’m really happy dkjfhdk
Moreso, since it’s in my sister’s city (which is far from my parents’s house), i’m remaining at my sister’s place for a few days and tbh this is probably the most relieving part of it, far from the parents, i don’t really talk to them a lot, and while my sis is under some stress bc of my parents (very long story), she’s so much chill and sweet and it feels so much more comfortable than when we see at our parents’ home (and we could discuss in length yesterday about “how our parents ruined our lives”, the most validating convo ever tbh).
So i’m in a good ambiance, good environment, and i’m doing stuff i like.
There will be a few things to adjust if i can get the opportunity to get to the school, but ye, for now i’m trying not to think about this big If in case of disappointment and i’m trying to enjoy what i’m doing now - and it’s really a tone of fun.
So ye dkjhfd we’ll see how the two next days will go,but so far i’m loving my stay and it’s really fun. :’D
thank you sweetie <3
Wish you well, take care!!
