The return...

As the week has come to an end, I couldn't be happier. For an Undergrad, this session is going to be a very VERY busy one. I know that I can speak for some of my fellow animation students that these next 8 weeks for us are going to very difficult and very stressful! I pray to the Lord that he lays his hand upon me for guidance as well as my fellow classmates. I wish you all a safe stride in you're final weeks of classes.

God Bless,
Nate.

Internship!?!

So I come with good news. First off, for those who don't already know, I currently attend Regent University's Computer Animation program. I am one of the first "pioneers" of the program. More of a "ginny pig" Well now for the good news. It looks like I have an Internship postion with CBN in there computer animation/visual graphics department.!!! I have a meeting tomorrow morning with them. I am so excited!! Wish me luck!!!

Spring Break is over rated

Well it looks like spring break is coming to a close. The only bad thing with Spring Break in Virginia Beach is that it comes a little too early to enjoy. March weather here is still a bit too cold to have some fun. Yea a few days this week were nice but come on this is Virginia were talking about, one day its nice short weather and the next there's a blizzard outside. Spring Break is about parties, beaches and a week vacation from school but lets face it sometime a break is never true.

Let me introduce myself...

I have to apologize. I didn't introduce myself in my last blog. Well, My name is Nathan. I am an animation student here at Regent. I was born here in Virginia, Norfolk to be specific. I am approaching my 26Th birthday this year. May is just around the corner. Wow,... 26...man i am getting old.

School is a bit tough especially with a full time job. I work full time for PEPSI cola. The job is great. Easy, takes my weekends and has amazing benefits. But trying to manage a 45hr a week job and doing 12 credit hrs a week I'm not left with much time to do anything. But I have passion. Passion for creating animations and create visual effects.

Since going here I haven't done much work but what I have to do for my class work. Plus I am one of the "Ginny pigs." What I mean by that is I am one of the first students who started in the schools animation program. Even tho I haven't done much series work I have managed to land some pretty sweet side jobs per say.

My first job was a blessing from God. I landed a Visual Effect Artist job from a Christian film company named DCR. They are currently filming the pre-production of John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress." Its a pretty series film and to be given an opportunity to work this company is a true blessing. My second job is more of a favor that I am doing my a good friend of mine. You might know him, his name is Joshua Mims he is one of the many talented master students that also attend here. Josh is a very talented Director and a talented actor. He's latest movie "Exmas Eve" was a pretty good film "Mad props josh!" The work I am doing is for Josh's newest development "The Bounty" its were Silent Hill meets The Fugitive. Look for it within the next month or so.

My final installment for work is with Prof. Peggy Southerland. She is giving me another great opportunity. I get to work with Child Convenient Inc. with their charity campaign "Campaign for Change." Which should be a very very promising installment.

Well I've got my work cut out for me. Wish me luck and maybe I'll see you around campus.

Later.

Realization

It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about.
