Tom: >I think that you first need to decide which field you want to go into hehe, yeah… I'm still not sure where I would fit in best. 🙂 I took TV, thinking that film is a dated industry as it is right now. (in the sense of actual film, etc.). I am sure I will see the end of film as we now know it. I figured that the editing skills in TV is more applicable to the future than developing film, etc. BUT, now that I'm a senior, I realize that most of my TV editing knowledge will probably be dramatically changed, or that it will be soo easy to learn that anyone could do the editing from a technical standpoint. About 3D, I see this as a possible next step in the sequence of things. I doubt that it will wipe out the real world footage, but will be used as often- freeing one of many hassles of the real world. This virtual world is becoming that real. That is where I would like to be- with the freedom of a virtual world, but the realism of the real world. (and beyond) Essentially, I'd like to be in a storytelling process. I'm not sure if I'm cut out to be a director though. That's where I'm at. 🙂 I don't really think I'll try for film type school right now, but I'd like to know alot of the content. That's why I'm looking at that 1 semseter program. It should be a good overview. Thanks for your input. John
