become an animator

sure, I’m an animator… as in I’ve created animations… and I’ve worked in the animation industry as an intern, but someday it would be nice to get paid for it.

I’m currently at Sheridan in the Art Fundamentals course, trying my best to get together a portfolio good enough for me to be accepted for next year. Even being in the school around all the animation students is incredible and inspiring. So…I have a lot of work to do before portfolios are due in February.

So, I was accepted into art school and will be starting my first quarter in less than a month. I’d say I’m on my way to achieving this one. :D

Weltec – Digital Media Course

I’m very interested in this course of study,
I’m looking at it as a serious option.

Once i’m out of school, I wish to become one of the best animators out there! I’d like to work at either Pixar for cinema or Blizzard for games ;O

sigh yes, I wish to have two completely different types of careers. This one is my fun one. Once I get my Veterinary out of the way, there should only be just a few classes I’ll have to take for Animation.

Anyway, I really want to turn Anne McCaffrey’s “The White Dragon” into an animated feature, but that’s not all I want to do. There are so many things I wish to do with this and all of them are almost constantly running through my mind. The only reason I’m doing Veterinary first is so that I’ll have something to fall back on if this falls out from under me (since, you know, The Arts don’t really make much money). I also procrastinate and don’t usually finish stories that I’m working on, so please! Please, please, please help me with this one!

if youre going to live in toronto, try for sheridan college’s animation program. pretty tough to get into, but as far as north america, calarts and sheridan are considered two of the best.

I’ve started to contact different schools that offer animation programs. So far, the art institute of Toronto seems like best suitable school for me, though I still have to do a lot more research on different schools.

One thing you must have is patience. This is a career path that requires meticulous(sp?) detail, and an obscene amount of patience (in my opinon). But in the end, creating something that everyone else can appreciate is a great feeling.

i want to be a character animator for pixar :D
