Introductions
Greetings, I am Sage Boutelle and I am a Film and Media Arts Major at the University of Tampa. I do a mixture of video editing, cinematography, producing, and screenwriting for various independent film projects (either for school or for fun). All of which I love doing and am passionate about. I would like to be able to turn this passion into a career one day. That remains to be seen as of now, but I have heard good things about the UT film department so I remain hopeful. Although I do not plan on pursuing straight-up 2D animation as a career (although I am not inherently opposed to it), I hope to gain a better understanding and appreciation for the craft. In addition to any inherent value of learning, this would be useful to be able to communicate with any animators (either casually or collaboratively) more effectively.
