A day in the CalArts Character Animation Program
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лют 2020
- Here is a day in a life of a third year Character Animation student in case anyone is wondering how we animators spend our days. It's mostly just classes, homework and most importantly working on our own little animated shorts in the evening!
I hope you enjoy :)
This looks so cool but also so difficult and scary. Im not sure if I am good enough for this world
Same :/
then find out
@@montsejimenez7419 ty
i feel like absolutely the same
To be honest it's stressful because I want to know what I'm going to do since I want to go to art school but at the same time not sure if it's for me because if I end up not going to art school I would do engineering
as someone whos been aspiring to go to calarts since middle school, this is so much fun to watch
and as someone who struggles with keeping the things i animate still and not bouncing around im taking small bits of info from the way you do it
💚Jesus lived the life we couldn't live and died the death we deserve. Repent of your sins and trust in Him💙
YEEESSS plz plz make more !~ It is so interesting
Geexy thank you I am so happy to hear that!!
I’m keeping you at 69 likes
Ох так неожиданно и приятно встретить тебя
Я не ожидала тебя здесь увидеть
@@scribblediary237 sister. Am interest to music, i want to take a degree in music. Is there music degree alloweded?. Please rply me
I love how you can go to college to study the world and then use your knowledge to make others inspired and happy. I’m so thankful I’m artistic
I just realized this video was posted one day before my birthday, the day I got my first ever Wacom tablet for animations
Is it normal that I’m only 13 and I already know that I wanna go to calarts?
Yeah that’s why I’m here ;w;
Haha it was the Same for me 😂 that’s good then you can start working on your drawing early!
Cool owo
I’m 14 and I’ve already planned some stuff and know some art schools that I’d like to try an get into lol
I'm 13 too and I'm a bit obsessed with researching this school I would love to go to it!
@@moojoytiger3210 but that’s a good thing, the earlier you start preparing the better! If you start carrying sketchbooks around now and drawing a lot and stuff then you will have no problems getting accepted I am sure. I started going to life drawing sessions and went to the zoo every week to draw animals and sketched people in school and trains at you age as well and I believe that’s what got me in.
I am not an arts major. I live in California, but attend the College of Engineering at UC Berkeley. It is so cool to see what else is out there in terms of higher education though. Very insightful video!
aww, this is so cool! im 12 years old and I've wanted to go to calarts for the longest time, because I wanna be an animator when I'm older ;D
I’m only a freshman in hs but man I really hope I can go here. It’s only around an hour away from where I live currently, art and animation have always been my dream job
It really is a great school! And i am sure If you draw a lot you will have no problem getting in too!
@@scribblediary237 aw thank you so much ❤️
@@scribblediary237May I ask... what type of computers are you guys using there? Brand and type? It's probably outdated since this was 3 years ago. If I wanted to teach myself animation, what kind of laptop do I need?
@@suezcontours6653 we all used macs and Wacom cintiqs for drawing! And still do :)
@@scribblediary237 OH, I was searching for laptops to buy and thought you used Touch-screen Chromebook (and/ or Lenovo Flex) laptops that come with Stylus Pen? Do you know anyone who draw on those?
This is so calming it's like you're talking to yourself and filming that you can watch later on with out minding that we, your audience, might say about it. You're adorable 🥰
This is great Kim!! I looked up "Calarts" on youtube and this was like the second video that popped up haha. Good to see you, hope your studies/portfolio is going well!
Ohhhh that’s exciting!! Thanks for letting me know 🥰portolio is going well I will start really pushing it by next week!
@@scribblediary237 This is 3 years too late but what's the difference between character animation and experimental animation? Will I get to do Across The Spiderverse with Experimental Animation because that's the reason why I want to get into animation now.
@@suezcontours6653 experimental animation is more like stop Motion and Sand Animation and things like That and character animation is more traditional 2D and sometimes 3D Animation. Even though there is some overlap between the two sometimes!
@@scribblediary237 Thank you. I am glad I asked because I thought it was the other way around.
I am so "jazzed" by the excellence of your presentations. >From one who was a student in Exp. Animation at Cal Arts, 1972-74 (living in the dorm). It was a golden magical 2 years of my of my life and I can see the golden magic has evolved into more treasures of many young person's creative Spirits. In one of your presentations the library looks almost the same, that was from the Jules Engel A113 days long ago.
That sounds amazing. All the things in you're video are things I've been trying to teach myself. Every part of your work looks fun... even the tedious stuff. Couldn't imagine actually ever getting to go to an art school (much less Calarts). It makes me a little sad, but it makes me glad you get to go. I hope you really enjoy it!
Hi everyone , I am 13 years old and my dream it’s to get accepted in this school, I love drawing but I have to improve some techniques and how to draw anatomy or making my own characters or making realistic drawings . Do you have any recommendation, any classes , techniques etc. That can help me improve ? Thanks and have a nice day !!
Wow, your place is absolutely beautiful! It's so dreamy!
Hope your studies are going well as well :)
Greetings from you know where!
FloatingSkull lukaaaaaas halloooo
I've had my eyes set on several animation schools since middle school, but as of late I've really been wanting to go to Calarts more than ever. I know their program is fantastic and there's a great community there, it's just a shame because I don't think I'll be able to go- the tuition fee is just too high for me :') Even so, it's still nice to be able to have a feel for what student life would be like, thanks for uploading this
This is so dope I’m here at your school updating your guys dorm and just the art you (the students) have up on the walls are sick wish you the best in life super cool!
I am loving your videos sooo much. Gonna watch all of them! :D
I've watched this video once a week, it's so fun hahaha. I hope you'll post more videos (I watched almost all of them) :)
FINALLY ! Good to see you again ✌🏻
i enjoy watching what cal arts is like in terms of what it offers for animation students so i think it would be really helpful of you give more insight on what its like to be an animation student
Today’s my first day of school (grade 12) and it wasn’t that great, I didn’t know anyone. And this video came to my recommendation again so I watched it again. It makes me feel great and hopeful.
Wow 5:12 that's so cool! Thank you for showing us what you study. :)
This gives me a peaceful moment, thank you
I love your channel! I wish to go to calarts, I’ll probably apply in 2022. Really exciting to see your life as a student!
Same! 2022 or 2023
hey good luck to you! :D
Me too! Applying for 2022, we should make a Facebook group xD
@@ErikaKiseki same XD
I can create the group who are in?
AHH finally youre back
One more bright moment is seeing the drawing "horses" live drawing on paper, Oh how the magic is still happening! The magic of being in a class with a live model!!!
Hi, i was wondering how do you pay for this school, this is my dream school and i wanna try in the future, but like its expensive as heck :,)
Hi! I knowww it's so expensive it's crazy. I am lucky enough that my family saved up for this for years and I also got a scholarship from the school luckily. If you are unsure about how to pay for this I would check out the CalArts Financial Aid page maybe? I think they have links to Scholarships there too...
@@scribblediary237 how much does it cost?
@@sillycheese301 50k USD per semester
@@azamakhtar7556 No, it's 51k a year, not semester.
Try to look into Laguna College of art and design ☺️
Woww I’m such a huge fan!

it's so good, when you work on what you like
YOUR BACK OMGGG YESSS
Hello, I'm a French animator from Rubika, your everyday's life looks exactly like mine's😉
Hey! Can I ask was it very hard to get into Rubika and are the standards very high there? I’d love to go but I’m not sure if my art is good enough
@@bronwynhayes4053 Hello, I don't know your level but the exam you need to pass to enter the school is not as hard as the Gobelin's one. Although you need to be interested in various subject around art and animation
@@bronwynhayes4053 soo it's hard but not impossible
Hii, I just wanted to ask if you need to know animation well to get accepted to rubika..please let me know if you see this!
@@lucideyesart8309 hi, you need to be interested in motions, but it is ok if you have never animated
kim❤️❤️❤️ so much talent and sweetness in this video!
Oooooooh you are so sweet thank you Erin ❤️😍
Hey! I loved your video! I’m in my last year in school, and I REALLY wanted to go to Calarts, but I’m from Brazil and everything is so confusing ;; Applying, building a portofolio, all the requirements that I need in order to go >~< I’m not sure I’ll make it
Going to CalArts is sort of my dream and HECK it gives me headache, all those costs per a year(man I just sit there in front of my computer when I saw the cost) and plus I have to attend there as an international student 😱 haha so much to do..
Same

thank you for making this video. i know i’m just an internet stranger but when i found your video i was very stressed out about applying to art school and your voice and soundtrack helped a lot to calm me down. i hope you’re doing well
Ooo good luck applying!! U got this. 😱
KIM those film layouts :0
Oooooo thank you Isa 😍
When quarantine started I wanted to start a hobby and I chose drawing cause I’ve always loved it, I finished 4 sketchbooks during 2020 and that’s when I realized I wanted to be an animator and create my own show and movie, I started looking at art colleges even though I’m not even close to college and then I found Calarts ever since I found calarts I have been working every day to get better at my art and so once I graduate high school I hope I can get into calarts.
I'm working on my own show right now! I'm using MS Paint to do the backgrounds, Flipaclip for the animation, the editing on Youcut and I'll distribute it through UA-cam. All of these are free software I got from the app store. The skills you need can be learned from UA-cam tutorials and from trial and error and hours of drawing frames.
My dad who works as a graphic designer told me that I don't need to art achool because most proffessionals didn't go to art school but learned through expirience.
Can you show us your sketchbook for CalArts and maby portfolio with tips?
1:49 Are those wacom-branded digitizing monitors?
whenever I see these videos, I really want to try to go to study, I love it and it motivates me 🎉❤🍓🎆🤺
Seeing so many rich people living this life while I can barely afford to pay rent really discourages me, some people are so lucky with parents and money
I‘m sorry, I feel very fortunate to have parents that were able to afford this school for me. But I am convinced that you can get many of the amazing things that CalArts offers for basically no money at all. I almost learned more on online platforms like schoolism for a 200$ annual subscription than I learned at CalArts, so definitely check that out!! You don’t need to have money to become successful in this industry if the drive is truly there I believe! Don’t feel discouraged!
@@scribblediary237 Thank you very much for your reply and insight, hopefully one day I have the same opportunities
@@scribblediary237 the inscription is 13 000 dolars?
@@scribblediary237 Thank you
It’s been my dream since I was small to go here. I wonder if you have any advice/info on tuition and the application process, as someone whose gone through it?✨✨
This is my dream school I’m so exited to go buuut I’m gonna stop wasting money heh:,
How long before the deadline did you start working on your sketchbook?
G L u can’t really say for sure but I wanna say like three months?
Scribble Diary thank you!
That's really cool... I am studying animation in the UK but I just don't feel like I'm learning anything useful until now... I really wanted to go to calarts but I don't think I have the money
this is amazing! I haven’t even finished the video yet but I’ve been wanting to go to Calarts because it’s my dream... but I’m only 13 and I live on an entirely different continent (but that won’t stop me)
Hi there! Just saw your comment, I am glad you like the Video! I am from Europe and many of my classmates aren’t American either so yeah don’t let that stop you! Good luck!
eri latinoamericano?
Hi! I am very interested in taking animation in college. I am young and have a few years before I decide what to do in college. I have some questions, do I have to be good at drawing? What classes should I take so I can succeed in college? Do I have to be good at watercolor, photography, etc? That is all, thank you
Leah hello! Yeah, for animation you do need to have a strong basis in drawing I‘m afraid. For my college they did not expect any experience in actually animating when applying, but they want to see that you are comfortable drawing the human form from different angles in different poses and with character, understand perspective and other things. If you want to go to Calarts specifically you should check out their website to see what pieces exactly they want to see when you are applying. No need to know photography. You don’t have to learn watercolors either, just show whatever medium you are comfortable with (digital, ballpointpen, pencil etc).
I didn’t take any courses that helped me get into calarts, but I did go to figure drawing classes in the evening. Those are really helpful, and Calarts wants to see many life drawings so I can recommend that for sure. Good luck!
@@scribblediary237 This helps so much! Thank you!
Hey! I messaged you on Instagram and you gave me a bunch of advice! ^^ I was wondering how you do your film layouts! Do you draw them in separate squares and then compile? Or on separate layers but on the same project?
Sparrkie you mean the ones in the video? I try to keep them on separate layers because it always seems to pay off to have hundreds of layers but I often mess up and draw on the same layers anyways. But I did not draw in seperate squares and compiled them on that project
This is my dream school holy crap
There my crocks yeah I love it here!
This is what I have been waiting, Right Now I'm in the middle of my IB year, but in year and a half I will be out, I want to apply to CalArts! I'm preparing myself and maybe.., just maybe I will be accepted
Funny seeing what looks different and what looks the same. Mostly it's wild seeing so much digital process, they were a *stubborn* holdout on traditional stuff vs other schools.
is it a good place for learning animation?? do they guide us with the softwares??
It’s one of the best places to learn animation and of course they do teach you how to use the softwares
Wow, you’re so pretty 😍
CalArts it's my college dream but i know it's impossible that i could get in so i'm content with watch videos about it
nooooooo
look
I live in Europe in an small town
English isn't my first language
I am 14 years old
and I wanna go to Calarts
And I will do everything to go there
And I know that you can do this too
Nothing is impossible
Let's do this dear stranger
Let's belive in us and go to Calarts one day
*Nothing is impossible*
Nothing can stop us 😌✨✨✨✨
@@criss.sparkle6919 money, that's the problem
I really want to study that you inspire a lot 🤩🤩🤩 can you explain how to draw your intro animation?
New sub btw 😻❤️👌🏻
Sis xD I dont understand how you can afford Calarts but I'm so proud of you lol (srry I just discovered it channel) cuz calarts is expensive as fudge
Grants, scholarships, and loans.
Do you recommend this school? I want to go to art school, but I’ve heard a lot of really bad things about a lot of the art schools out there and I was curious if this is a good school
If you're concerned about which art achool to go to, go to Izzzyzzz's UA-cam channel and one of her videos explains this topic (( also I find that most of the comments help explain it further ))
Ahh I love your videos! I want to go to cal arts but I’m scared of having to pay the large tuition fee and not getting being able to find a job after
ana'cee I knowww it’s scary how expensive it is but believe me they are doing such a good job to prepare you for the industry, if you put the work in I am sure you will find a job eventually!
Are you on room A113?
Sorry I know this is really really late but I've been dreaming on going to cal arts even though its a few years away lol and I still have to do research, but with calarts is it necessary to know animation or do you just have to know art??
I'm in grade 9 and currently 14, I started thinking aboot animation skool cuz I wanna become an animator, this video was very inspiring and thanks for the info, one question though, do u know any US animation skools offering full scholarships for international students thnx
Hi! I don’t think there are full scholarships I am afraid but if you want to know about my school specifically you should check out the CalArts Website under Financial Aid! Good luck!
@@scribblediary237 thank u so much , I will check no doubt, but do u know any gud scholarships though.
Wow you are such a gem! You seem so sweet and lovely
wheres calarts located?(what part of california)
as someone from a 3rd world asian country, i loveee watching these videos because i know i could never go to calarts 😂 living my dream life through these videos
I‘m really sorry that it’s so expensive. There are options to at least learn what we learn through other platforms though! If you ever feel like it you should try the schoolism website for example! It’s wayyyyy more affordable and I learned more than I did at CalArts sometimes. Besides this entire year is online and they are rebuilding all of our facilities and they are not sure when they will be done, so it’s not the best time to go to the CalArts character animation program anyways these days :D
Heya! What animation software are you using in this video? Would be really helpful. Thank you xxx
I use TVPaint!😊
year one on acting on my wish. Heres to going to calarts. I really wish my gpa is high enough
I wish I could’ve been fortunate enough to go to college but I’m working really hard to self teach and put my portfolio out there
Laziest art style I’ve ever seen
Nice 😂
Hey! Cal Arts always looked so cool to me but I live in England. Do you have any international students in your class?
Yeah! We are mostly international students in character animation actually, mostly Korean and Chinese and taiwanese students! I am from Germany myself, and we have two Students from England as well. Check out meppitys (Anya Butlers) UA-cam channel, she is from England as well and makes great videos about CalArts and film making
Do you know how to get scholarships if we are international?
ily
Calarts has always been my dream school and I have always loved the people there like Alex Hirsch but if I’m being honest I’m to young to get a job right now and I’m scared on where to begin…how much money does it cost, how can I make a good impression so I can stay, it’s just scary man
Hi! I feel you :D it’s super scary for me too. I will say that even though I love Calarts and I learned a lot, right now it is not the place where you can learn the most for your career. And it’s getting more and more expensive every year it seems. We are paying 50 000 a year which even with a scholarship is almost impossible to pay for. But don’t feel discouraged! Even is you don’t go to Calarts, it doesn’t mean that you can’t enter the industry. You don’t get a job because you are a Calarts graduate, you get one because you are hard working and good at drawing and networking! There’s amazing online schools and resources online where I personally learned more than in my classes at Calarts, like schoolism! And even though networking is difficult without a school sometimes there’s still conventions and people you can reach out to online once your portfolio is good enough. So don’t give up! I know of many people who left Calarts or never even attended Calarts and still got into the industry fine, and I know a few Calarts students that can’t find work yet unfortunately. So it’s not the school! It’s what you make of your own time and effort! I am convinced if you work hard every day there’s no way you won’t find a job. Good luck :))
This video is 3 years old. So how have things been for you? I mean, the animation industry in the USA, particularly in LA isn't in very good shape lately. Disney, Pixar, Cartoon Network, Dreamworks are all laying off animators. Word is in about 2 years time, there won't be much work in animation because most work will now be outsourced overseas.
Yeah tha Job industry has been a little rough, most of my friends got laid off over the past few years and everyone is trying their best to keep their spirits up! I have just been freelancing on smaller animation projects as a background painter and animator. We all are just taking it day by day and are trying to be kind to ourselves. As long as we can keep creating and doing what makes us happy, be that here or overseas or remote or in person then I am happy :) thanks for checking in!
wow I really want to go to Calarts one day. But I really dont have any money and I dont really understand how can I get a scholarship or grant and also Im international student from a pretty poor country so I dont even know how can I accomplish this goal. But at least Im only fourteen and I have lots and lots of time to prepare :D also do more content llike this please, its so interesting!
I have a question
How much cost one year on Calarts?
51k USD
@@iii.kelvin :O holy...that’s a lot. I guess I’m not going to CalArts then..
Hey, does Calarts have a masters program ? How does one apply ? My undergraduate is design but I want to specialise in animation
Im at the end of my junior year and im going to start working on my portfolio this summer, any tips?
Hi! Congratulations on almost being done with school :) teachers at CalArts are mainly looking for portfolios with a strong foundation, so they love seeing lots of life drawing sketches and sketches from everyday life, on trains and in zoos and in cafes and stuff like that. They also enjoy seeing many different mediums sometimes. Try to practice hands and feet drawing like crazy, and don’t hide them on your page somewhere. That’s always a red flag for teachers. Of course they like to see designs and your own ideas as well, but try focusing on the basics and drawing from life a little bit more than on drawing from imagination. If you want to be an animator you need to be able to draw the human body from every angle and in every pose, so that is what they are looking for :) good luck!
Ever been to room A113? That’s the Pixar room (the room where The Dude who made pixar worked in)
Of course I have! But unfortunately it’s part of the Graphic Design school now, so the students of character animation don’t have access anymore. We work in a room called A221 now so maybe that will be the new A113 someday and be in all the films :)
Damn, i wish i could study in a college like that, i'm from Latin America so my dream of doing animation is not so optimistic, some people are just lucky :/
And, you already "helped" by already making videos. Now, back to photos, extremes & inbetweens, timing x-sheets, levels, and drawing, drawing, drawing...I hope you don't give up. It is all worth it.
1:54 What are those posters? Posters of the films the students made?
Alle no those are all our favorite movies that we would recommend
Scribble Diary oh right!😆 I can see The Incredibles and Parasite
This is my dream school and My Grandpa and Dad made ma and my sister a saving account since they have found out we were my mothers belly.. Do you think I will have enough to get into this school??
First step is to get to usa don't overthink Ariadna! Jeje
This vid is really nice and all, but I've been wondering why the music is so depressing the whole time
Did you enjoy your school life there?
I'm kinda late here but can u please tell me is BFA degree compulsory for MFA in Calarts Or any Bachelor's degree is fine?
Pls let me know..
Thank you for your heart like 🥰
About those questions at 2:10, I would like answers to ALL of them! 😂 I’m so confused 😐
ah i want to go but like it's so expensive
I knowwww it’s crazy 😭 you can look up financial aid on the CalArts website. And if it is still too expensive (because it really is) the online school schoolism has been so amazing. I am on a gap year rn and I am learning so so so much in taking the Tonko House Schoolism classes I am obsessed
Tf i need to be a millionaire to go there no thx
Ya same lolll check out this other freelancer animation whos broke but trying to make it ua-cam.com/video/6Iierx2l3MI/v-deo.html

Hey does it course have digital painting
welp I applied to calarts and now I'm in fear cause I have a hella unique art style and still struggle with realism now I wanna give the **** up
DoctorCrazyMuffin :3 noooo don’t worry they are looking for unique voices! Traditional realism stuff is more Ringling I believe. The portrait class I am taking is the most normal realistic class that they have to offer I think and people just take it to work on their basics. But for the application they want to see your unique voice! The weirder the better! Don’t worry!
@@scribblediary237 the thing is my style is like adult swim and cartoon network mixed up I create and design characters by my own but I sometimes suck at life drawing
DoctorCrazyMuffin :3 I know the application can be sooo scary but don’t worry too much! The teachers here will see if you have something unique and they will value that! They do put a lot of importance into life drawing but really just to see that you know the basics of drawing you know?
did u get in?? (:

4 years, its a bachelors degree
I would love to go to calarts but its quite expensive and I'm from a family with not much money at all so I'm sad that I'll probably never be able to go
Hey❤️ I know it’s really hard and really expensive, but believe me that Calarts isn’t the only way to break into the animation industry if that’s what u want to do. I love the school but there are options and classes online that cost a fraction of this tuition and if u really want it u can become even better than most students at Calarts! I know it might be disappointing now but Calarts isn’t as glamorous anymore as most people might think it is, and maybe u are even better off with not paying this much money and focusing on learning on your own instead. I for example learned way more in my gap year! Good luck and don’t give up!
@@scribblediary237 hello! Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it alot. But the thing is that I find myself having a harder time to focus during online classes I don't know why but that among many other reasons I'd rather go to a physical school.
