Its not up to FIRST to reachout, its up to us. Art is only part of the skills needed to do this stuff. To be successful you need to understand many technologies - Video Production/Post-Porduction, Internet and web, CDRom and Multimedia. Unless you want to specialize in the field. Then you need to be ready for the ups and downs of being laidoff and hired as you are needed. Check out the making of Episode II. When they talk about Scaling up and scalling down they mean people. Every project is like that. Unless you are well rounded. And that means technical skills as well as design and art skills. If anyone is serious about followinr this as a career- please contact me if you want some advise and course of study tips. All too often I work with recent college grads and more often than not they aren't even close to being prepared for a real work environment. My goal with the students I work with is to help them get that experience.
