Just a regular guy with a head full of ideas.
I have training in Film Directing, Art, and Electronic engineering. Seems like a hodgepodge of unrelated things, but I believe is a good place to start a career in the Biz.
Film Direction teaches:
Management
Team coordination
Scheduling
Maintaining the vision of a product throughout its production.
My Art training instructed me more about fundamentals of art, and practical application of my skills.
Electronic engineering as it relates to game design? I know how to build a computer and have been doing so going as far back as a 286 computer. I well aware of hardware capabilities, and keep a pulse on what new technology will reasonably be applicable to the game industry.
