Thread: Animation schools?

  1. Animation schools?

    Hi, i'm new here by the way.

    Anyway, i was wondering... Are there any animation schools out there in England? Preferbly in the Manchester / Greater Manchester region? Because i'm 15, and i know animating is what i want to do for my job. The only problem is in collage they don't do animation. So i'm going to have to take art and design or something. But when i leave, i would really like to study animation, but i haven't the slighest clue if that's even possible.

    Are there any universities out there that let you major in it? If not, are there any special animation schools that i could possibly attend? Right now i'm self taught, i mainly refere to The Animator's Survival Kit and websites, that's about it. I feel i need to actually get taught in it, do projects etc. Get my animating juices flowing.

    Please don't tell me that i'm only 15 so why am i asking now. I'm asking now because i just feel i need to know.

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks,

    - Adam.

  5. I can't reccomend anything in England. The only places I know are relatively close (in California and such). hmmm...I don't know how animation works, but the magazine CMYK shows works from students in illustration and design, as well as the schools they come from. It might be a good place to check and if anything, a good way to see what other students from other schools are doing.

  6. University of the Arts, here in Philly, which I go to. Also, a lot closer to England than the schools out in Cali, though Cal Arts probably kicks UArts ass.

  8. Klonoa, Cal Arts has produced some great talent, including folks who would later work on the Simpsons.

    including folks who would later work on fucking everything





    anyway the reason I suggest Cal Arts isnt because its any better than most the other schools out there in what itll teach you, (in fact I'm dissapointed by alot of Cal Arts thesis projects but anyway thats neither here nor there)

    its the simple fact that no other school has more contacts in the industry than Cal Arts and I can tell you right now that's more important than how good of an animator you are

    This is true for every industry. It's easier to know someone as your in than having talent.
