Stepping into the Unknown

That's it; I am finally done with my four years of study in the animation program at Ball State University! That being said, I am really trying to figure out what my next step is going to be. My wife and I have moved back to our hometown and have started looking for work; not necessarily work for being comfortable around our former stomping grounds but rather work for earning the money to get out of this state and out to the west coast.

As far as animation goes, I'm working on setting up my desktop rig so I can get back to Maya and some personal projects. I've got a few irons in the fire I suppose as well as trying to maintain and build some stronger relationships with a few industry folks that I've met either online or at GDC 2012. While all of this is going on, I am also constantly searching for opportunities around my area for collaborative or independent projects and applying to various animation gigs across the country.
