I first got into programming, because I wanted to be a VFX artist in "The Industry". I moved to LA for 1-1/2 years to give it a shot.

Problem is, the TV/film industry is big, fat bloated and filled with nepotism. Junior Studio Execs in charge of nothing drive around in Mercedes 7 series, because their uncle got them a job.

At the same time, there are literally tens of thousands of talented artists who are broke and underemployed. If someone can figure out how to let the artist sell straight to the consumer, the industry is over. It's ripe and ready to be plucked from the tree.

Viva la revolucion digital!
