Who EXACTLY are you?

I'm a spy from the Canadian government posing as an RIT student. ~_^ (jk) My real name is Laurean Broadbent. (think of Delorean the car from back to the future). A lot of people on the Net refer to me as Siryn and on this webpage "the Dreamer". But in actual truth..I'm Laurean..or so my parents would have me believe. ~_^ Ummm what else, I'm 2nd year student currently enrolled in the New Media publishing at Rochester Institute of Technology. I'm a current member/e-board member/animation/comic freak of the Art House. I'm hoping to go onto California Institute of the Arts or Sheriden College in Ontario Canada to get my degree in character animation. (after RIT of course. *smiles innocently at parents*)


Why Animation? Why Drawing? Why Villains?!

Why not? O.o I started drawing my Junior year of highschool. (which sadly, if you want to make it into a GOOD animation college now adays..isn't enough time to make a decent portfolio) I kinda have my Trig teacher to thank for it. He was sooo boring that I started doodling. My friend Chris who had been playing calculator games and somewhat watching me saw me drawing and said, "Hey Cool! How long have you been drawing?" "Errr..Five minutes? ^_^;;" And the rest is history. As for animation, I've always loved Disney (and NOOOOOOOOo although it would be great to work for them..I know most likely that won't happen for a LONG while.) and other cartoons, but I never thought I could draw at all..so..animation was stored away as an idle dream. I started getting interested in Special affects around the time Jurassic Park got out..and then I realised you actually had TO DRAW to know how to animate on computers. During this time, I was meeting and making a lot of friends on the net, who were into 2D animation..and that basically rubbed off on me. ^_^;; As for villains, Villains ARE COOL!!! >;D Actually..villains are the main influence of the hero..I mean think about it..if there were no villains..the only DECENT job a hero could get would be getting kitties out of trees and helping old ladies across the street! I've liked villains since I was little and even up til now they still can't be beat! (I cheered the T-Rex on in jurassic park during the movie. ~_^)


What is your personal goal?

To become a Supervising animator that animates villains for some big production company. >;) And don't laugh I'm being serious! If that doesn't happen (*knocks on her wood desk* Are these made of wood? O.o), I wouldn't mind drawing comics, or working on webpages, or working for some multimedia/CD Rom type projects.
