[@ramanarula5498]

Hi there I want to become the best animator but I don't have that much money to go to cal arts or any big college and even if I take a loan my mom will not allow me to go abroad. So can I learn to make Disney level animation at home or should I take an online college course. Is it possible to learn from any top animators at the same fees of college. Please help I can't really sleep just by thinking about all this if you'll advise me it'll mean a lot.

[@soirema]

what the heck do they teach there? I mean what else could you possibly learn... there is everything in your sketchbook!

[@danielgusto1234]

How did you do to apply? Did they give you a scholarship or something like that? I'm sorry if the questions are very personal or tedious, but I'm really interested in knowing, everything is to go to Calarts :´)

[@kimberlycastillo3167]

Congrats!i have questions: what month do i have to apply? What month i delivery my sketchbook? Sorry for brother you ..greetings

[@seawaveleo]

well, you have to apply by the deadline (it was jan. 4 for this year - don’t know about the future); and they didn’t accept mailed-in sketchbooks, so i had to take a video instead. this year’s application was a little weirder due to the pandemic, but it will probably change for next year’s admissions!

This is absolutely stellar!! May I ask how long it took you?

[@seawaveleo]

thank you! it took me from march 2020 to january 2021 to finish, so i’d say about 11 months?

[@toryaki1282]

@@seawaveleo AA thank you so much for the reply!! Also wow, your dedication is amazing .0.!! Sorry I keep asking questions (I’m just hoping to apply to the same program someday) but was that time for the sketchbook alone or for the portfolio as well? Thank you so much- so sorry to bother!
