This is EXACTLY where I want to be in 10/15 years. Exactly. My main goal here at cmu is to combine my love for theatre and engineering (specifically robotics). The thought of contributing so much in the way of film making from behind the scenes, doing highly technical automation and lighting is really what I want to do. I hope in 2030, PTM bloggers will (begrudgingly) read a similar article about me!
