once i had that epiphany of how ubiquitous it all is, i had to be a part of manipulating it - other desires grew out of that initial realization

only 1 or 2 small projects a year i get fired up about, but those are usually small gigs for friends or relatives or some shit... the ones who let me do whatever i want and shit.
other than that it's over.
a career change has crossed my mind a time or two.

hahahahah
well, i enjoy creating moods and feelings, and promoting companies, brands, services, and products that have real value
believe me, my clients stay small, but I still, struggle with my own daily hypocracy

oh yeah, and like was said - to remind myself every single day how much i suck at it compared to people i look up to

Nobody wanted to pay me to be a composer. So I became a designer, in order to give me time to become a filmaker.
My career path is a cooly calculated one.

I do it because I love it. It's a different challange for each project. Always learning something new... And with this industry you should always be learning something new. I sometimes hate it for the same reasons...
