As for my goal, I'd say to make a living doing something that I enjoy and that stimulates my creativity. For me, ( and it's probably going to sound weird ) filming and editing scenes feels like a kind of art. I like to think of creative ways of capturing the beauty, the intensity, the rawness of a scene, and concentrating it into something that captivates a viewer. If I can accomplish that and manage to make a living doing it then I've achieved my goal.
