But how? I understand there are no clear pathways into these fields, but surely there's better advice then just go for it?

Thank you for this video! I'm trying to decide my classes for next year and by doing that it helps to know where I want to focus. And I want to be creative! I'm such a creative person but I am told I need to find a "skill" in order to be able to support myself one day. This video only reassured me that creativity may possibly be that skill :)

Well they say it's never too late which is great and Ideas are king perfect I have hundreds each day. Listening to songs I'm constantly thinking of ideas for movies, games graphics novels and the odd invention. Now how exactly do I go about getting into that industry as I only have a BTEC level 2 in Art and Design, I'm going to imagine you need a portfolio but I'm more of an idea guy than the artist but I'm not terrible.
