yeah, I get what you're saying
most of us here spent 3 years at film school, art college, etc etc then time doing the shitty end jobs at what we wanted to be doing.
But most of us didn't think the world owed us, because it doesn't.
If you can get funding good for you. But I think like most people you should be more prepared to spend 8 hours on the till at Morrisons so you can then spend 8 hours working in the evening on your masterpiece - like normal people.
Also, I appreciate some big names have said they like your stuff, but to be brutally honest, it's not that good yet. Your editing and timing is great but your character animation is very poor, no walking or fluid arm moves and there's a lack of understanding of silhouettes and so forth.
Stick with it and I'm sure you'll get great, but perhaps you need to talk to some more people who have walked this path first.

I get what your saying
But you just wanted to have a pop at me!
I do all this sh-t in a studio apartment with desk lamps ect, it's a little difficult to achieve the stuff you're talking about. And this summer I worked everyday in cafe frying chicken & prepping burgers 7 days a week for 4 months to be able to focus on doing what am doing right now, is that good enough for you? Reckon my balls grew a bit larger eating all them burgers all summer. Anyway, really f-cking p-ssed me off what you said, real snarky sh-t that was. Want my full resume? I got nursing homes, lifeguard to landscape gardening...

you read what I put wrong
I said you had some balls and well done for getting as far as you had, which is pretty much a compliment.
But what you posted comes across as "Give me money I'm brilliant and deserve it"
Take the constructive criticism as what it is, note unlike some responses people post I didn't simply call you a rude word and not explain why.

nah
didn't I express enough that you get stuff for your money? Yeah you can argue me on the content value, zzz, but your getting stuff for your money. Am only trying to make a living like everyone else. And as for what your saying... man up. There's no way am gonna take a 'get a job like everyone else' as a compliment when am slogging away like a nob head. Here's a couple of links to more recent work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSGMlq-Kaw4 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6xcNCdGb-Q wanna support what am doing then, brilliant I will very much appriciate it. Honestly I will, just not the Bill Hicks comments. Hell, why not give the funding scheme a try for yourself? Never know, might work out for you
