The Foundry - Life in London

About a month and a half ago or so, I had started writing about my experince at The Foundry and it was about my month working as an inten. I had then weighed my thoughts since then and what I have experienced so far since then and I must admit, it's a much more different view from before.

Though my initial goal was to become an animator I force this question to myself, "Do I want to animate?"

Since working at Miller and Carter I enjoyed the aspect of working in a team, united we can achieve anything and  problem solve anything that comes our way, whether this was a customer needs or how we can improve our way of service. It's just the fact that I enjoy and relish working in a team, even when I played rugby back at school and though we may've lost as a team now and again, we would always bounce back together. This sense of bond really drives my mentality as, if I don't perform to my full potential, then I maybe letting my team-mates down.

The Colorway team at The Foundry is that new team that I play for, and even as an intern, I believe even the smallest person can make the difference. There is a sense of support for one another and believe me, we had some pretty rough times when we were trying to get a build stable enough to launch for a new beta version to the community; and though we sometime didn't hit our mark, we would always regroup and planned he best possible step that we can take.

I really enjoy working as a QA Engineer, I mean sure, I need to knuckle down and learn more about the technical side i.e python and Mel scripting, which is something I'm learning now but overall, I enjoy working with the developers. Being able to look back at a particular old build and compare, how far we have come as a team to making Colorway a much better product, really gives that extra pinch of sparkle of what we have acheived together and make us wonder, what's the next step for Colorway.

What I had said so far, is an outcry of what my personality is like and I really love being part of a team. I can say however, this blog post is very biased as I have never worked as an animator before, and therefore can't throw in the towel of being an animator just yet. But the truth is, I want to contiune working as QA Engineer and maybe even pursue this path. I find that I may've walked into a forked road that I must take and in all honesty, I want to take that route that could be a bit more a gamble and could potenitally give me a future that I could be happy with.

I must admit they're other factors involved that is affecting my decision with all this such as, where I'm currently living, the potential of seeing that girl and the fact that I want to break away from my past and make a fresh slate here, in London. I would like to say that I should be careful but, I think I need to take that extra risk because what's more worst than not trying is, living with regrets and wondering what could've been.
