Blog - Giving a Lecture, perhaps?
Monday, September 1, 2008Earlier this year I caught up with one of my high school teachers, one who spearheaded the launch of a filmmaker's club there that I was happy to join as one of the founding members.
She had wanted me to come back and talk to the club every now and then when I was back home from my life at college as a film student. Help give them guidance and advice and that sort of thing.
Although, as you know by reading this blog, I didn't stay on that path and eventually went into game development instead.
We determined at our last meeting, however, that my path through game development student life would no doubt be even more appealing to high school students.
So it isn't totally official yet, but I may give a lecture at my old high school about working towards a career in game development.
So, in case that does go through and I'm able to give the lecture, I'd like to ask for any of you who do read this blog: any suggestions for things I should mention?
I should be able to talk my head off about the topic, but any of your suggestions might be interesting to hear. You might suggest something I hadn’t thought of or a different angle.
So, what advice do you have for high school students who may have an interest in a career in game development?
Also, to anyone this may apply to, this blog has been added to facebook's blog networks application.

You should tell them about things they should have a general feel for beforehand, like photoshop and some general designs stuff, plus good books to read through, not that high school students want to read books, but if they hear it's a book on game development it may catch their fancy more.
