My name is Becca and I am a Radio-Television-Film and History major at the University of Texas at Austin. I graduate this May! Yaaay! I'm still not really sure what I want to do once I'm out of school, but, lucky for me, the economy will be dictating anything I do in the future, so I suppose I don't have to decide for myself for now...
I love to draw, write, and play the piano and saxophone. I have been involved in band, both marching and concert, since junior high. I love animation, and I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the UT Hollywood Showcase in LA last September. It gave me the chance to see some really wonderful talent from UT on the big screen! Thank you, RTF Department, for letting me go.
I also love movies (obviously) and video games. I adore Miyazaki films, musicals (lame, I know and I don't care!), and old movies from the 1930s and '40s. I enjoy screenwriting, though I haven't been tending to it as much as I used to.
A new dream of mine is to write video games. I feel like its an aspect of the industry that's only just now becoming really important. As games become more complex, more complex storylines are needed. (Complex doesn't necessarily mean good, though. I'm talking to you, Medal Gear Solid!) I'm one of those people, though, that takes FOREVER to beat a game. I tend to talk to every NPC, steal everyone's crap from their houses, and check out every detail of the levels. The developers went through the trouble and time in making those things, so isn't it only right to appreciate them...? *shrug*
Anyway, right now I am in Ben Bays' Motion Graphics class, and this blog will be used primarily to submit my assignments. I'm sorry if they suck. I'm still learning. Also, I'm sorry if I talk too much. I'm new to this whole 'blogging' thing. You young people and your technology...
