Getting My Foot Out The Door
First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Justice Neyedli, I am 17 years old, I live in Beautiful British Colombia, with my Dad, my Mom, and my two sisters. Over the past few years, I have decided that I want to become an animator. To be more specific, a 3D artist. Recently, I have started working towards that goal. I came to the realization that I have to make a story about my journey. Not just about animation, but in school, family, and my other adventures. Maybe, I might even post some fictional stories that I write. The main purpose of this site is to be a platform for me to share my art with others. Heck, I even want to take my stories and turn them into movies, books, and even video games. My mind just keeps thinking of new ideas and stories that I could tell. My hobbies are watching films, TV, and playing video games. I love my hobbies, but what I love even more than indulging in the hobbies themselves is learning but what goes into creating the content that I enjoy. This brings me to why I am even making this article, to share my story with the world. Why I want to make stories, why I will make stories, and creating stories that others will enjoy. Whether it is a film, a book or a video game.
So, why do I want to tell stories in the first place? At first, I never looked at it like this. I was told if I wanted to go into film and video games that I wanted to tell stories that why I was there, to realized that is what I’m doing. That happen to me when I went to a presentation put on by Vancouver Film School while they were going around Canada doing info sessions. This was allowing me to find myself. Finding the artist that I truly am, this was a new beginning for me. Having to look at what I was wanting to do was art. Being a 3D Artist has made me look at the world differently when I see clouds I see layers. When I see a picture of something I see all the detail. It has changed me. Every idea has a story it can be from anything I have read many articles of an artist working in the film industry and follow them on what they are doing as art goes. I find when I want to create I have to start with a story or make it up on the way.
Ever since I was six I wanted to be an inventor. The guy who made the flying car or the teleporting car/ fastest car that could read and predict where another car was. Good idea right. I also really love music and loved playing guitar and loved metal music which I still do. So I wanted to be a rock star but who hasn’t really. Now how does this have to do with why I will make stories or even tell them. Well, those careers are very similar having to be creative. Thinking of ideas that are interesting yeah maybe being an inventor you think of how to make the world better but that is beside the point. I will make stories because it is a part of who I am. To create the world that is not like your own. When you create a story you can act as a god. Because when I made the world, I felt like I was a god. I created all the characters how they act what they do who makes them better and what makes them fall. I will tell stories because I believe that others will enjoy them.
When I’m apart of a project I felt good to be apart of something. To be able to say "I did that", "I got to help make that happen". Not many people that don’t work in the film industry can say they worked on that unless it is something else. I enjoy people liking what they see. Enjoying themselves playing a game I help create or even watching me create it. We do live in a world of imperfection where people complain about things when in fact they are uneducated about what they think is the right thing but in the end, some people will enjoy what I create and I will get to see that. Even if I’m not the main attraction people will see it. That is why I love doing what I do because it makes me feel great.
One of the reasons for this article is to start telling a story, to finally say what has been in my head and allowing others to see or read. To finally start building an audience who will enjoy my stories and many other projects to come. To also inspire others by the projects that I am working on.
