Matthew's Story
Life
Hi guys,
So what have I been up to since graduation. Well I always wanted to try special effects and began to look for schools that taught it and found none. So I became a musician in 87, playing the drums in various bands in the area. I got injured at my day job and ended up with pinched nerves in my shoulder and right arm. Thus ending my music career. Met someone wonderful and got married. She convinced me to continue with the FX and by that time there were schools for it.

mputer animation mostly inbetween regular work. I recently have been working on writing some sceenplays for animated shorts and am possibly going to get some video production going with a partner soon.
College

Not easy(see work). I hope to eventually go back to school for my Bachelor's Degree in animation or fine art.
Workplace
I currently work at Cadmus Specialty Publications in Easton. I'm not sorry I have the job because I do well, but it's definatly not what I want to do. And the mandatory overtime seriously cuts in to my CG and art work.
I recently got laid off from cadmus, and luckily found an animation studio in town Stroudsburg. Lucky me! So I'm working at Pangaea Productions which is also the internet and game cafe know as the Hubb.
