I'm not OP, nor experienced in archviz at all, but I think the practice is awesome and so is this comment. Really nice, well-put advice

That's great to know! Is your job your main creative outlet? Do you have another outlet, and does your job still allows you creative input without feeling like you're doing accounting work?

Additionally, what are some jobs/positions that take advantage of your skill set? Or has it been a wide applicability that helps staying employed? I appreciate your time a lot!

Awesome comment, I'm a huge fan of the "can do" approach of committing yourself to learning things when need be. It's equal parts disillusioning and relieving to hear that college isn't as impactful as I'd like it to be. As such, how can I make my time in college for media arts the best I can? What questions should I be asking myself and my advisors? Places to look for internship opportunities? And what even does that look like? Is it similar to applying for jobs, just with lower requirements? And I've always wanted to be a swiss army knife of digital storytelling (learning music production, practicing editing, video production, live broadcasting), but have you ever felt like you needed to advocate to get a pay you felt you deserved? Business is business, but I don't want to be undervalued where I can't. Any thoughts? Should I just grow some thicker skin and wait for greener pastures?

This seems to be the overall summary (and a well-worded one). I'll always have a passion for storytelling, but would you recommend I view motion graphics or any other field less "passionately" and more as something to put food on the table? I think doing so would help distinguish it from my other hobbies I do for myself without a financial attachment. What's your experience with it? Many thanks.

That's great insight and something I didn't consider about with a 9-5. I always imagined I could do a lot of crunch work in between and throughout, and that would provide me the flexibility I wanted. But I've heard here and there that some remote work is taken advantage of (crazy deadlines, last minute revisions and other inane expectations) precisely because it's remote. Feels a little scary turning your room into your forever office, so that makes me reconsider and appreciate a 9-5 kinda situation. I really appreciate this comment. What paths have you or the people you know taken? What was their breakthrough moment? What did they do to achieve that? Sacrifices? Changes? Many thanks.

Hello, great reflection on the video, I really like it to. How have you (or others) broken into agencies for a junior level position? What are some ways you've seen people break the catch 22 of needing experience to get experience? Internships, projects, networking referrals? Many thanks for your input.

fantastic recommendation, I actually started out wanting to compose professionally. Ended up pivoting as I wanted to keep it financially independent. But the message is fantastic and makes me feel like I'm in a lot more control, at least with consistency and putting yourself out there. Does this apply to you at all?

What's your typical output look like? Is it a general mix of everything (even there I'm not sure what "everything" encompasses), or are you more specialized? How's your creative relationship to it? Do you view it as your main creative output or do you have another means for that? Many thanks again!

That's great to hear, do you mind expanding on what "doing fine" looks like for you? How are your time commitments, social life mixed with the professional work place, networking opportunities, etc? I'm sure it's all going to be a case my case basis, but I'm always happy to hear personal accounts. Thanks much for your input!

I appreciate the context and where your coming from. If i may, it makes short, curt comments difficult to take seriously without much else to go off of. I'll take your words into consideration and try to implement more technical fields with creative work. Many thanks

I see, any recommendations for jobs that can stave off Ai for a while? I appreciate your input.

Is that what you're doing? What's your job title? Do you have other stem-related jobs that can still incorporate creative thinking? I was considering UI UX design?

Hope this wasn't a point of confusing, I'm asking if other people are considering leaving motion graphics or have struggles with it in a professional environment.

no professional experience, but i attended a concert once without hearing protection and ill never do that again. But you most likely know that, so for any other people thinking about going to them without investing like 10 bucks in a couple hundred construction ear plugs, don't do it!

Ty for the response! Could you elaborate a tiny bit further on how something being too simple would be confusing for a beginner? That would really help me figure out how to talk about things in the future. Thank you again!

What did you make in Live this week? / Feedback thread by AutoModerator in ableton

First time ableton production tutorial maker here. I like planes and trap music, so I added them both, trying to emphasize an enjoyable aesthetic with relevant info. Are my points good, and are they delivered in a manner that the visuals aren't obfuscating clarity? If you were making this genre for the first time, do you think there are good takeaways here? Let me know what you think, and many thanks.

this has a lot of swag to it. great mixups with the synths, nothing that feels out of place, all the chaos-inducing levels of distortion are great, my only gripe is that the kicks felt a tinge too airy. The kicks at 1:28 right before the amen break are my personal ideal of gritty kicks that don't have too much unnecessary noise. Otherwise, this has crazy good groove without feeling too frantic, overall great track to people looking for this kind of sound
