School Stuff

I had a great email exchange with Jocelyn Cofer about SCAD and Animation Mentor, since she did both at the same time. She says SCAD is great for 2d animation and getting the MFA for teaching, but AM is better for 3d animation. Frankly, I'm all for AM at first glance, but I am getting so stir crazy here. I just don't know if just taking AM and improving my reel is enough to get me into the business, and I don't want to waste any more time fiddling around here.

Since AM is -somewhat- accredited as a secondary education school, I'm actually going to see if I can substitute Mentor class credits for my SCAD animation electives. It probably won't work, but we'll see what they say if I ever get in. I figure I can put my 3d efforts into AM classes, and (if the electives thing doesn't work) I can focus more on 2d animation and the technical side of things. Maybe take a few killer life drawing classes.

If I don't get into SCAD, I'll move south, closer to Houston, get another job and do Mentor and that will be the end of it. ... maybe. We'll have to see.

Anyway, I'm just really feeling the wait and anticipation here. I'm going to work really hard on my 3d stuff and send out another batch of reels around the first of June regardless of what happens with schools.
