General Ripper posted:I'm looking to get into animation, and I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the schools in and around Toronto? I'm specifically interested in traditional animation and stop-motion, if possible. As far as I can tell, Sheridan's the only one that does stop-motion. Ripper, I graduated from St. Clair college back in 2003 from their Tradigital Animation program and would have to say, unless it has sharpened up STAY AWAY! Although I was the first graduating class, i found that we weren't given an accurate description of what the job market was like. There were a few talented people to graduate but for the most part, the people that I've stayed in touch with, are struggling financially and emotionally. As far as schools, IMO there really isn't a better school in Canada for animation than Sheridan. It is quite tough to get in, but if your good, then giver....I can say I know much about their program, but after I graduated i spent some time in San Francisco. I ran into a few 3D artists and explained, I'd graduated from an animation program in Canada. Most of their first questions were, "oh Sheridan?" That to me says alot in regards to their recognizability in the industry. If animation is something you truly desire, I would suggest going full bore into trying to get into Sheridan. The business isn't always as glamorous as one would hope starting out. With that said working at Dreamworks would be pretty drat cool. I believe that they have a pre-animation course that would be a stepping stone into the program that you could attend. I hope that helps?!
