Background to Hell

Ok, honestly even i don't know what that title is suppose to mean. All i can say is, ive been working my freakin ass out finishing all these background exercises assigned to us in our training program. For those who dont know, im training right now as a background artist in Navel Arts Academy - an associate of Toei Animation. im pretty sure uve heard of dragon ball z, well this is one of toei's greatest masterpiece and i hope to be involved in their future hit series. we are fortunate enough to be in this school, since were all be training for a few months in toei starting january next year, you have no idea how hard it is to get in here. so im saying it again, we are very fortunate. however, it does not guarantee us a regular position for post production. toei has yet to test our skills, speed and determination to decide wether we are qualified or not. 2 weeks has past, im already working on my 4th background piece. take note guys, an average digital bground artist can create 5-10 backgrounds a DAY! so what does that make me? yes, a slow f*cker. crap, at this rate i aint getting any richer thats for sure. Fyi, there are atleast 200 backgrounds per episode in an anime series. so can u imagine how many bg's are there? imagine how many artists are there? a hundred i guess? each artist works their ass out into creating quality digital bg's, and to think that it will only appear for 1-3 seconds, 5 secs the most. some of it are only used once, others are re-used. so its all about speed man, speed, discipline and a whole lot of brute force. however, despite the heavy workload, these artists are paid very well. imagine earning 30-60k a month! hows that? they pay you as you work, so no wonder why these people never leave the workplace, they just wana earn some more! so welcome to hell to jp, say good bye to the life. hahaha. wat an english man! oh yeah, we'll touring toei next week, i just wanna see how the artists look like. plus im bringing a camera, magpapa kodak na kme!

peace \m/
