So I am starting my freshman year of college and I have been thinking more and more about what I want to do for a career. I am very interested in movies (have a giant collection and love watching movies), and know a lot about video games (Constantly play them). Those are my 2 main things I am interested in. I have had a couple ideas for a career consisting of either a film editor or a producer. Although I am not the type of person to have the strongest imagination to make stuff from scratch so being a director is out of the question. I want to keep my options open for being able to work for film companies or even video game companies. I have also been fascinated with making the trailers for video games shown on television. I feel like working for a company like Microsoft or bungie would be a dream. I am the type of person to work better under a boss and having deadlines and goals, topics to create and have a set salary. Do any of you have any idea for a type of career in film or video game development that would be good or fit my description.
As I read more and more online about available careers I get more confused about what I want to be. I want to do what I love but I dont want it be one where its a very low paying job. any help?
To me it sounds like you'd be interested in editing. Try and do some research on it, you might like it.
wrong section buddy.
Sounds like half of Facepunch, sir.
Editing's a good time. Learn to use AVID, because it's industry standard. Do well there, and work your way up the ladder. If you do decide you want to be a producer later on, it's always open. But, it does sound like you'd enjoy editing. Try to get a job at a game studio, and you can edit their trailers/cinematics (if cut-scenes or something along those lines). That would be a blast for you.
Production animation could work. You would be able to work on both movies and games and you would have the skills to create awesome CGI sequences and stuff.
