Now that I know how bad my studies are, I worry damn badly about my future. I wonder if I can actually waged a good income for myself (and for my family etc blahblah). I know the media industry is damn hardcore and low profiting, and judging my skills in filming, I have not been practicing at all. Even if I considering myself a decent video editor, I have no aptitude in special effects and detailed frame-by-frame work with After Effects. I am interested in them though but it is just too tedious for me to work my lazy ass off to comprehend them. And my ideas in short films are so damn limited. So far most of my videos are actually compilations of my movements. Seriously doubt I can pull this off. That's why I really need to learn. I got my VDSLR now. I have to go out there and experiment, work my ass off, study. And maybe one day I'll get to somewhere with this. Let's put in some effort..
Thankfully though, I have a backup. My main forte - Parkour/Freerunning, probably can get me somewhere. It is the only activity that I find myself really involved in, I don't really care about anything else but just training as and when I can and I can't stop moving. My lifelong dream - To travel around and train at their hotspots. But for that to happen I need to make money out of it. To make a living out of it. It might be against it's principles but hey, look at the big names. Ryan Doyle, Daniel Ilabaca. Maybe I might not hit the standard as high as they had, but honestly speaking, it is possible to get make this a career. At least as a handy backup. That's why I really hope Ashton can help me make this dream a reality. Takes so much more business skills then I originally thought it would. We need more exposure, and hopefully, higher paying performances, like seriously. We cannot be kept being taken advantage of.
Still, my main objective is to just train. Train really hard. Because that's what makes me, me.
