What Motivates Me
I am motivated by enjoyment, spite and my want to please others. I want to do well and to do that I know I have to put in the work.
In the past I've struggled hugely with organisation and deadlines, depression and anxiety disorders making things that much harder. However, in the last few years I have worked hard to push on and find a way to manage my brain as well as get my work done.
If I genuinely enjoy the work I do, I get completely swept up in it. I can be absorbed in a painting, or a game or a film for hours on end, completely immersed, with a one-goal, laser-like focus. This tends to be useful for projects but tends to put my health at risk.
Spite is another of my greatest motivators. I hate when someone tells me I can't do something that I know is fully within my reach. It overrides any laziness or procrastination and immediately gets me in gear to get the job done or achieve what I set out to do.
Finally, I don't like to disappoint the people that have faith in me. It isn't fair on them, those important people that sacrifice things for me and put reputation on the line for me deserve someone that will make them proud or at least live up to their expectations.
The reason I chose to study Animation was due to my love for storytelling. I love to write stories but I've always struggled putting my thoughts into words, making my writing difficult to understand or boring. Animation is the perfect route for me to be able to tell stories using fewer words.
