The BIG news for Brandon

I start a paid internship at Gunshopstarting on Monday and I'm thrilled.

If I had to name the top 5 motion graphics houses in the bay area that I'd want to work for (based on their work), they are definitely one of them.

I still have one class to attend on Tuesday and my graduation ceremony on the 19th, but I'm going to dive right into the internship and get my hands dirty. Now, the real work begins!

I think it's a good fit, no?

However, in order to take this internship I had to decline another internship offer at another company...which has a reputation as one of the top companies in the bay area. This was really difficult to pass up. While it wasn't a job offer, it was a chance to get experience working alongside some of the best in the industry. I wish I could have done both.

In other news, I've been contacted four times in the last week by SPEED TV. Someone there saw my reel and expressed interest. His last email clearly said "I want to make you part of our team. Call me!" The catch? They do graphics for NASCAR and are based in Charlotte, NC.

Sorry, no thanks. ;)
