Hi guys haven't been able to write in the blog for awhile, but I wanted to share this crazy situation I had at the end of last semester. I was having a great end of the semester; I had won the best dialog test at the Academy of Art Spring Show (yes!). I had also just found out that I had landed an amazing internship with Electronic Arts aka. EA Games (in the recently baptized “Visceral Games” team, working in the upcoming “Dante’s Inferno”). So, although I had applied to other summer internships I went ahead and signed with EA, not knowing whether others would say yes. About a month later I found out that I was one of only 2 picked for an internship at Disney. I was so excited because working for Disney has always been my dream, but I had already signed a contract with EA and I had to honor that. I have to say that saying No to Disney was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done, because I've been working for exactly that opportunity forever. I started at EA six weeks ago and it's actually been 10x better than what I had imagined! It doesn’t feel like an internship at all, since I am actually doing production stuff. I'm working on some sick (and very “different” from what I have done before) pieces for the game and have met some great and very talented animators. Not to mention EA's studio is like a theme park and the entire work environment is so chill and fun all the time. It's been great!
Thanks for sharing your story, Jorge. It's very very inspiring, and amazing to hear about. Once again a big congratulation to you for the two amazing offers you have gotten. :) Keep rocking!
