I got the internship! Well... I got AN internship, rather.
I was accepted into my first choice studio which was TITMOUSE INC.!! This all happened about 4 weeks ago. Forgot to tell ya. I'm sure you care. Anyway, Titmouse is mostly famous for Metalocalypse!... Which brings me to my next point:
- You're welcome.
They for whatever reason they trusted me with the responsibility of delivering to Fedex the hard drive which contained half of the new season of Metalocalypse (which runs 22 mins now rather than 11 mins). So instead of doing a total dick move and ruining my reputation in the industry by cracking the package into the sidewalk and running off into the woods with the hard drive, I was a nice boy and delivered it. James Cameron is already making a movie of this event.
Titmouse is making other animated shows right now too, but I don't know if I can talk about it. On one of them, the lead animator is a Newgrounds veteran! I won't tell you who. I'm sure you can figure it out.
Being 4 weeks out here in LA has already taught me a lot of stuff about general LA life and the animation industry. If you remember (because I'm sure you care and I'm not just writing this like its my dear diary) I am also working with Nickelodeon... but I'm not working AT Nickelodeon. There's a big difference. One means that you can go in the building and be employed by them and interact with Nickelodeon people face to face... and the other means that they give you some money and then work you like a Korean and you stay the fuck away, you smelly Korean. Despite working with them, I still didn't get an internship there. But don't get me wrong, working with Nickelodeon is very fun and exciting. Our cartoon is looking better and better everyday (well, some parts are). It's all just very slow paced. I assume it's because they are a mega-corporation and I am some kid intern at somewhere else. I am trying to get people excited about it... maybe get some following... maybe get laid. I don't know how much I can release about the cartoon. I'll check and get back to you.
