Those who would give up art to purchase life…

I often wonder whether making films and games is feasible as a career, considering how incredibly LONG it takes me to finish any given project.  The stop motion piece below was initially filmed in late 2008, and I’m just releasing it now.  Granted, there were specific reasons for this, but it’s not a joke that I spent over a year editing the live-action film that will (hopefully) be released next.  (And these are only a few minutes each!)

I guess it comes down to the conflict between quality and speed; any project I care about will incite me to spend as much time as necessary perfecting it.  The question then becomes, do I spend my time working a job that’ll pay me enough to live, or do I spend my time making pieces of my own that’ll leave me starving in the end?

    I often wonder myself. But here I am. If you must do it then why fight it?
