I met with some people from Mind Candy (the people who made Moshi Monsters) on Friday. We were at an animation festival in Exeter (UK of course haha!). It was the first time they have ever come down to the South West to talk.

Well, the talk was amazing! The people who spoke were the lead animator and two other animators. After the talk, I caught up with them and showed them my portfolio. And then... well, they kinda wanted to pull me out of Uni to see if I could work for them LOL. I was honoured in fact! But after speaking to my parents, it would have been silly to not complete my degree when I only have a year left.

The Art Director emailed me anyways which was pretty awesome. He said that I should stay on to complete my degree, but "please come back to us once you have your degree".

*squeels*

I could work for Mind Candy. How awesome is that? Their studio is AMAZING, I'm not even kidding. Just check these pics out:

It's always so gratifying when a company goes out of their way to show you that they really want you. :giggle: I feel your excitement. That office is badass. I want a slide in my office. :noes:

that is amazing! I'm glad they ask for you to come back to them! you have a bunch of doors opening for you lately! you should be happy. many backup plans can be made now in case one thing fails you have a fall back and something you can do until you make a new goal for yourself! you really should be proud of yourself, you really are amazing. every time I read something from you it makes me want to go to college. I ended up never going because I didnt know what I wanted to do. but watching you makes me want a few doors open, I dont wanna be a cashier forever and if I at least take the first step ;A; you are inspiring! damn, both you and Andrew keep making me wanna try harder! I think once I save enough money and get my car I will try taking one class at a time at least and try taking those first steps to becoming more then just what I am now!

Yeah! I need to find out a way to keep in touch with them without being all spammy haha. My sister wants to go back to college at some point, I'm sure there are some kind of grants you could get to help you go back right? I'm not sure what it's like in the US though for that kind of thing.

Man at least you can keep a shop job! I worked once, in McDonalds. I got fired after the first week because I spoke to the customers too much. Just... waaaa? xD
