This is a response to an email a friend of mine sent me. It has some of the autobiographical stuff that I imagine is in some other people's blog.
---------------------------------
You had me at hello,
Just kidding.
Actually, I think it'd be cool to get with you on some of this stuff. Perhaps not in a completely active role for now, but I am interested. As of right now I don't feel 'called' to this, but I guess it isn't out of the question. I'm not really sure what my 'calling' or mission in life is. Sure, I do the Christian film thing and I want to avoid working on immoral stuff, but I kind of fell into it. Okay, I stepped into it. I did quit a job I was tired of in order to work on Escape from Hell, but I don't think I want to be tied to DRC Productions forever. I don't know, maybe I will specialize in effects for Christian (or Christian-ish) projects. It seems like I'm just along for the ride right now. I enjoy it, but my heart isn't into it as much as I'd like. Then again, motivation and ambition have always been on the weak side for me. I'm thinking it's a situation where attitude is the difference. I should just choose to be a VFX artist as a ministry rather than a profession. At least then I'd have an excuse for not making the big bucks :) But you weren't asking for a rambling description of vocational self-doubt. My point is that (Christian) game development/animation might very well be in my future. It may already be in my present.
So yes, I am interested but I'm not as gung-ho about it as you are. I don't what to promise more than I'm willing to deliver. We should discuss this stuff over the phone or in person.
TTYL,
Dana
