About This Course

Get your dream job, create a portfolio, and launch it into a rewarding career! Worksheet and eBook included.

Have you considered switching careers or pursuing your hobby more seriously? Then this is the course for you!

I changed careers almost 10 years ago and I want to share with you my knowledge and experience of launching my creative career. I was in a science-related field with no experience and now I've launched my career all the way to working on feature films for Steven Spielberg.

In this course we will cover how to:

  • confront obstacles you'll face and the realities of turning a hobby into a career

  • develop your passion into a sustainable career

  • build your portfolio

  • find time for all of this

After watching the course you will:

  • have practical actions to take to launch your creative career

  • strategies and techniques that helped me overcome the initial challenges

  • a clear vision of what you need to do and how to do it

I've created a 4-page worksheet as well as a 20-page ebook for you to download. Use the worksheet to follow along with the course to help focus and plan on launching your creative career. You will be asked to do a couple of practical exercises that will help build your portfolio as well.

The 20-page ebook is meant to be a deeper dive into some of the concepts we cover as well as a review of the video lessons.

I look forward to seeing what you create from this course! Thanks for joining me!

I have taken many courses over my 31+ professional years, both in person and online, as well as teaching since '94. I am always curious what other people have to say and how they teach as you can learn so much. Lucas just has it, plain and simple. He is so much wiser than his years and very inspirational. I am so glad I bought this course and one of his others. Highly recommend Lucas! Great job!

Thanks Lucas!

I took this journey 3 years ago starting out with Blender and Youtube tutorials, in the meantime i started a 3D GameArt and Animation course at SAE. to help me get better at it since i want to make that change in careers later on.

Even though you get a lot of information there as well. This is some valeuble information to set us on our goal, focus and helps us motivated. It's really well explained and you can just feel the experience and the fight Lucas has been going through to be where he is right now. It motivates me to do even more!

When I bought this lecture I was almost sure that I would ask for a refund, but surprisingly there was some good stuff in here. Video could have been longer though. Will keep it for future reference. Great stuff.
