I've been wanting to work on cartoons since I was like 3, but I have trouble keeping track of my work. I'd like to go to a school with a real animation program, but I'm stuck at community college 'cause I haven't figured out how I can pay for any other school. There's an animation class at my CC but it's pretty much a joke. What schools did anyone here go to and would you recommend them? If so, why? Highly editorialized, but it has drat useful information for drawing: http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com But more importantly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtW6wS3z97Q Experience the wonders of this fine art. Edit: Fun exercise. Watch cartoons with the volume turned down. If you can tell what's going on and are entertained, it's animated well. If you're confused or bored, then it's probably crappy.

Drawing is so loving necessary it makes me sick how many kids can't do it. I've tried to draw my rear end off but I never keep it up. I'll have 3 days that I won't sleep and I'll draw the entire time followed by 2 weeks of not picking up a pencil. I think I need to regulate it into a daily schedule or sorts... How much time would anyone recommend that I draw daily?

I'd really like to go to cal arts, but from what I hear getting in is a bitch. (let alone financing) Has anyone here gotten in? Any tips for what they look for in portfolios or how to get yourself accepted?

I scored myself a tablet pc on clearance. It was defective, so it's in the mail and going to be replaced by it's warranty. But... I've gotta say, those things are fantastic for animating. So much better than ordinary graphic tablets, even if it does have a lack of pressure sensitivity. For those of us who aren't in an animation class or are in a very crappy one (all we do is talk about unrelated things for 4 hours), should we start up maybe a weekly(or however long) activity that's animation-related for everyone who wants to participate in? Just for the sake of practice and fun. I have a little trouble working without guidance currently... so I know I could use something like it. My suggestion for Vaporware... Don't even bother with tweens for the most part. You'll get better results just dragging, dropping, and rotating the images manually for each frame. If there's one thing a computer can't do as well as a human can it's having good taste. If you practice enough your dragging and dropping control really becomes automatic.

The biggest problem with flash is that it's not really meant for animating. But it works pretty well once you figure out how to use it. Still, I see little reason to use any version beyond 8 for animation. Has anyone here used TVpaint? It looks pretty cool, but I haven't tried it yet.
