FIRST YEAR ART SCHOOL // Animation Projects at RMIT

[@MayMay-qn2dd]

Can you talk a bit more about your classes and what you studied? I would really like to hear about it.

[@kelogsloops]

That's a great idea actually! I wanted this video to be more of a showreel/compilation of my assignments :D

[@MayMay-qn2dd]

kelogsloops YAY ^.^

[@kristymong90]

I am planning to study animation in university, do you have any advice to us, and why do you choose this art school that you are studying in but not others? Any advice when choosing art school? thanks!!

[@kristymong90]

btw do you think it is necessary to know how to use those animation/digital painting software before entering university?

[@angelhellokitti]

Kristy Mong yes!

[@emilyyang3859]

omg the totoro google doodle is too cute

[@ivanminchev888]

It was amazing

[@kohai8676]

I find this like my true passion but I'm really afraid I'm not creative or talented enough compared to other people in class

[@JosephBenedictMaguddayaoTe]

same with me.

[@theholeshaveeyes3661]

don't think about other people, think about yourself on what you want to achieve.

[@Vexx]

I love your channel so much ! I'm glad you uploaded 👊👊👊

[@kelogsloops]

Thanks a heap pal! Haha, it's been far too long since I last uploaded hey :(

[@thispartofscott]

Vexx Hope you guys will work together in the future! I love both of you guys' art, and subscribed to both of you guys' channel! 😄😄😄

[@theamazingazm9751]

I love your channel so much! Vexx

[@bigunit9173]

Vexx I hate you never upload

[@ani-mations6787]

Vexx! OH ma gawdddddd i love your fuckin drawings they re so goodam good you dont even know bruv your are literally like my role model when it comes to realistic drawings bruv!

[@imnana6589]

Omg I'm studying to get into RMIT!! You're honestly a top artist and I love your work it would be amazing to see you around campus hope you enjoy school there and good luck with the work!

[@irisgonzalez5028]

Clumsy Simone RMIT? where it's this?

[@imnana6589]

Iris Gonzalez in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. (Sorry to be so long I don't know if you're Australian or not so if you'd know the areas)

[@irisgonzalez5028]

Clumsy Simone no no yeah that was perfect! I'm not from Australia, so thank you :)

[@anabel1998]

Hi, do you mind me asking what exactly are you studying and how old you are? I'm sorry if it sounds weird but I don't understand that school system :b

[@imnana6589]

Elvio Lao well I'm studying to get my Atar (study score) up high enough to begin school there. I'm in yr 12 atm which is my last year of school (I'm 18). I'm having 2 years off before studying there though to travel and get my art improved so I doubt I'll get to go to school with this artist ;-; I also live in the country so it will take a lot of effort to get into a good city school

[@haley8368]

2:00 Reminds me of Adrien and Marinette’s umbrella scene from Miraculous LB!!!😍😍 ☔️

[@heyitsaleina]

that's what i immediately thought!! jesus those lovebirds haha

[@ChesyaPricilla]

omg art school sounds so much fun, you kinda make me regret for taking engineering

[@kayaeki]

Chisa saaaaame!

[@HeyaHoyah]

Chisa Winchester It can be bullshit sometimes, fun but not without its flaws

[@Ryan-Sierra]

Yoo samee. I'm only doing engineering because that's what my dad wants best for me.

[@RS-ep2ry]

The Ryanator It’s your life though, not his.

[@Ryan-Sierra]

@@RS-ep2ry I know, but I do live under his roof. He told me that if I ever were to do this whole art/animation thing. He'll kick me out his house. Every time I start drawing, he'll tell me to go grab an engineering book instead. I've been struggling with depression becuase of it. Ever since I was little. I felt that I had this Destiny of becoming the next animation star, but my lack of knowledge in art all has to do because of my Dad. Not even my own family wants to see me rise. It is truly sad. Sad enough where I use to think about ending it, but I fight through it every day. Looking at life in different ways.

[@kawaiic418]

I loved those! The bus stop was probably my favorite visually speaking. That Asian Red Riding Hood though... If you ever get the chance to create your own series, I hope you go with that one! ❤ Also I am begging you! Please tell me what your ending song is! It's so pretty, and I just want to listen to it for hours!

[@kelogsloops]

ME TOO! The bus stop one was fun because I got to push a bit more of my digital art style into it hehe. I can only dream of ever having my own series one day though :-) Actually, quite a few people have asked about it -- it's just a little song I wrote and recorded with my friend!

[@kawaiic418]

kelogsloops Ah man! It sounds awesome! :) If you guys ever decide to do more with that, I hope you let us know! I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

[@non-pe8xn]

It's so interesting to learn what you'd have to do in an animation course, also for the record the 2D boy animation was gReat

[@wolfrhapsodos8404]

This course looks incredible! I'm on my last year at university, about to start my very last semester. I study illustration, and have a lot of regrets about it, I really wish now that I'd done animation or games design.

[@naissketching395]

Wolf Rhapsodos Hii I've just complete high school and I was interested in studying illustration? Is it so bad? Is Animation, Graphic Design better? I'm feeling so lost right now I need some advice :/

[@wolfrhapsodos8404]

Løu Minou it very much depends on what college/university you attend :) All I can suggest is research your options and research them well! Go to open days, look at their websites, try to talk to previous students if you can and ask them about the course you're interested in! I hope that helps and I hope you find the course for you! I finish my degree in June, I've been considering setting up a youtube channel after for art and talking about my Arts university experience, as I know it's something I really wanted help with when I was looking to apply.

[@naissketching395]

Wolf Rhapsodos Thanks for Answering my Question! 😊😊😊

[@wolfrhapsodos8404]

Løu Minou no problem!

[@kelogsloops]

It's definitely plenty of fun! Strangely though, I considered studying Illustration quite strongly when I was choosing my course preferences. I did feel like there was a strong overlap in terms of Illustration / Animation degrees, so I went for the latter hoping to pick up a new skill set.

[@abhistalya]

Dude you're literally such an inspiration to me omg. I love your art too much seriously. I hope your creativity will grow more and more! You have such a bright future coming 😄👌🏻

[@kinzee8062]

Loved the take on Little Red; the colors and design were lovely. Not to mention, I got so excited when she pulled a out sword, haha!

[@localtrashpatrick.8066]

The cowboy panel made me think of McCree from overwatch. It's high noooooonnn xD

[@drawpal5550]

Your art is amazing! Keep up the good work!

[@skylarkohai]

I got so excited when I saw a post!! Hope this semester will go well!

[@Sarah_483]

absolutely love your backgrounds

[@MewSakura12]

This is so beautiful! I can't believe I just found your channel after loving your instagram and tumblr for months! The google doodle and the western clips were my favourite. I wish you all the best, you're gonna be amazing in your field

[@starseer73]

i'm so jealous of your life omg

[@Azrie_ISR]

Ikr im literally crying rn.....

[@ionah8205]

starseer73 same

[@Likalikesart]

Your stuff is great! For 2 Semesters, you have a lot done and really refined stuff.

[@zynclori]

Heyo! Not sure if you read the comments of this video anymore but just stopping by to thank you for inspiring me. Thanks to you and this video I discovered the animation course at RMIT 2 years ago and this year, I’m starting the bachelor of animation and interactive media myself! It’s been a long time coming, with a lot of doubt mixed in with pressure from my parents for taking an arts course, but I’ve made it and I’m incredibly happy that I’m going to study a course that I’m passionate about. So I just wanted to say thank you very much and I look forwards to your future projects!

[@spacechitts]

omg it's been 3 years so how has it been!?

[@zynclori]

@@spacechitts Helllo! So it's been an interesting couple of year but I'm almost done with the course. My 1st year there was great and I had similar assignments to the ones shown in the video however it was pretty much downhill from there when covid happened haha. Long story short, I struggled a lot with my workload during covid lockdown (end of 2020 to 2021) due to mental health issues and have decided to take a break until I'm ready to go back so I'm set to graduate probrably at the end of 2023 at this point. I do think covid did make the circumstance a lot harder to study under however, for future students interested in this course, it is a LOT of work starting the latter half of 2nd year and it probably will be a struggle. Take breaks when you need it and don't be afraid to ask for extensions (the teachers are usually very understanding). Understand that animation take a lot time and if you want to do well you pretty much have to put all your time and energy into it. Overall I think it's still a great course and probably one of the best ones out there if you want to study in Melbourne Australia. I've made a couple of amazing friends there and I get to see some amazing work from my peers, some of whom are going to work in big studio in the coming year.

[@spacechitts]

@@zynclori Thankyou for sharing a bit about your experience 😊 and the covid times were unfortunate damn i had completely forgotten about it. I'm so glad you were able to rest and figure it out. Mental health really is a lil b*tch, hope it's never more than you can handle and good luck and good health for the rest of the remaining years. It would be a dream to study there but unfortunately I don't think I can afford it even with scholarships etc. I'm from India and I AM studying bachelors in Digital Media and Animation, I'm just afraid the things I want to do, the field, isn't good enough for me here. So I wished I could do masters in animation there for new learning experience, better connection with people in the industry and smoother leway to a work visa or some sort idk but ahhhh yeah I think it's out of my reach. Just gotta try to make the best of what I'm able i guess 🍀 Have a great day mate

[@NedDanielss]

Omfg the Totoro Google thing was literally the coolest thing I have ever seen in my entire life I'm obsessed

[@JG16riffin]

I am working on getting into an animation/illustration/graphic design course at uni and this has been really illuminating and inspiring 😊👍 thank you! I love Studio Ghibli.

[@AwceyTheMer]

Omg this is cool to see! I'm starting my first year of art school being an animation major in the fall, I'm so excited!

[@shaoshuai_on_film]

i'm in year 12 now and i really really want to study in RMIT next year in design course. Love your work!

[@Yammydesu]

This was so interesting to see! I'm starting my first year in RMIT's animation and interactive media course this year after doing a year of game design. I feel a little less nervous and more excited now! Beautiful work!

[@thechizzamiliz]

Do you think you could do a video of a tour of the sketchbook/portfolio/s you used to get into RMIT? I'm going to apply there at the end of the year 12/this year. Thanks, nice video btw

[@genezis70]

Did you end up being accepted btw :o I’m also planning to apply for next year

[@thechizzamiliz]

@@genezis70 Nah I had it as my third preference and got my first instead though. In my last year of a Bachelors in Architecture at RMIT which I'm really enjoying. I have a friend that's doing animation there though, saw some group class work with a bunch of animations from everyone sequenced together which looked really good

[@genezis70]

@@thechizzamiliz oh cool hope your last year goes well :)

[@takana5979]

oh my goodness! Google HAVE TO USE the google doodle that you made!!! That is adorable😍😍

[@Kookaburrow]

I'm currently looking around at different Uni options and I'm interested in going to RMIT and studying art and/or animation for Uni, so this was super cool to watch and gave me a real insight into the course work! Thanks! I loved your assignments shown in the video dude!

[@schmoovegroove]

I'm taking digital art/ graphics in high school. It's so cool to see what other digital art/ animation classes are doing. I love you're work especially the totoro one. Your watercolor work is amazing as well.

[@SnehaR1309]

It's actually really interesting for me to see what you had to do throughout the year because In struggling to choose what to study (I technically still have another year and a half of school but I have to sign up a year early) so this might help who knows 🤔 Anyways great video !

[@nashic1563]

Sneha Ramesh Same

[@yazletals5435]

Amazing! Recently I have also started learning animations, so it was incredibly interesting to see which projects are offered in the foreign schools with this speciality Thanks for the inspiration~ btw adore your coloring ang lightning work it's breathtaking!

[@Taleofthegreat]

That was so fun to watch because it was so different from your watercolor works! Thanks for sharing!

[@LadyHarley]

I kinda want to go to art school and Im thinking about art school but I dont know If I really want to. I have social anxiety and doing things like that make me nervous and stressed. And Im not sure if animation is something I really wanna do. But its the only thing I've really thought of. But idk if Im good enough at art. Theres still so much idk in art and life things, and I feel like if I don't go away for school or even art school that i'll be disappointed in myself, but in also scared to go. And I don't know if Im ready. And this is my last year if high school.

[@Slydime917]

so how did it go?

[@alicegermano9374]

Carly Quinn Omg I feel this comment so much 😰

[@deladen]

im in love with the colours you use in your bus stop and brand assignments😍

[@addipotato7938]

I'm so pumped for this year now! I got accepted into rmit for animation but at the interview the guy kept telling me how first year wouldn't be fun or interesting but!!!! Damn man, it looks like it gonna be great

[@Yammydesu]

Uber Mouse I'll be in that course this year too! See you there~

[@addipotato7938]

That so cool c: I'll see you there ^.^

[@carolratcliff]

Thanks for the recap of your first year! Loved seeing your projects especially because I used to teach graphic and web design. I believe in your talent as an artist and appreciate your passion and hard work as it shows in your work. You will go far!

[@helsiclife]

I'm a professional Designer already but, when I was in college, the average quality of my classmate's projects (including myself) were not that good. You're really talented and creative!

[@KateTheSleepyTeacher]

Such amazing talent. I always find that I keep coming back to see your art work. Love, love, love everything you do !

[@francesjulianneatillo4142]

when he said that he used Duet for his storyboard, my heart skipped a beat! I LOVE THAT SHORT ❤❤❤

[@AmY-mh7eo]

It’s so interesting to see all the assignments and the results damn

[@MsVelvetDream]

your images are very special and lots of them are different from everything that i've ever seen...absolutely beautiful. you are a talent.

[@alyssamsipe9123]

Thank you for uploading this video! I'm going to be studying fine arts next year, even though it'll be a bit different, it's nice to see what art school is like!

[@lilumi]

The last one! That was such a cool assignment!

[@angus591]

I don't know why but all other artists on KZbin hasn't really motivated me as much as you did. Thanks for making the videos!

[@enfp7w8]

Art is the most satisfying thing to study/ do

[@nommfourteen9312]

Your Totoro-Google assigment is awesome! I feel like I've actually seen it!

[@cansuupolat]

I love love love the Google one! I want to study animation but for masters. I'll take a look at RMIT, seems like a good uni!

[@aaronmartinez5139]

Omg I totally get it, I took a college course as a 11th year (Junior) high school student; and in that moment of an assignment, you are tired as heck of the assignment that you don't think twice to keep it or document in some form your art work. I have a lot of instances of wishing I had the stuff I had.

[@GirlArmy21]

Holy!!! That’s allot of things to learn. I am in first year of Applied Media at college. We sample 10 subjects..photography, videography, graphic design, illustration just as the main ones...it’s prep year. This term we start animation!!! Super excited to learn about 2d and 3D. Hope it’s not too hard. Great video

[@khkairi12]

(WOOOW!) hahahaha loved that fairytail bit > < but seriously, Wow!!! That's so much to have acomplished, and what quality! It so professionally looking already, you definitely grasp what animation and design is. And EVERYTHING had your style! So cool to see, thanks for sharing kelo!!

[@ScienceProject99]

Awesome art, I liked the spaghetti and Totoro animations. and you’re very cute

[@MentalArt]

I finished 3d Animation and got a masters degree on visual effects! I can already tell your animation adventures are going to be really fun for you and i wish you to keep up the good work!

[@jess01510]

I was wondering what you were doing during you courses .... and it looks like you come back with some amazing things ! The speaking animation made me laught so hard ... it what somewhat unexpected! NAd oh- I loved the red ridding hood if one day you get the chance to push the concept futher ... it would be great! Keep challenging yourself ~ Can't wait to see the next artworks

[@DM-is4wr]

I looove your google doodle man, super well done and a great tribute to the best studio ever

[@groundflowers]

Thoroughly enjoyed this dude, currently studying Graphic Design, so it's interesting to see just how many of these projects I've come across myself in my own work. Definitely enjoy the variety of stuff you get to accomplish! Good luck with your second year man

[@digantarajkonwar1790]

Vexx and Hieu, both of you are my inspirations. Hope you guys continue in this way...😊😊

[@platyadmirer]

Wow this was great to watch! I love seeing the projects you worked on and your thoughts on them. Your art is beautiful and very inspiring. Keep it up!

[@monio.9444]

ahaha the one with the jellybeans is so funny!

[@Fudgiethewhale]

Hey! I just finished my first semester of college, and my major is animation. Even though it was just an introductory class, I had a lot of fun with character designs and storyboards and whatnot haha. But these projects are great! Animation is tough, but it's rewarding and it's great to look and see the final project and all that you've accomplished :)

[@kawaiikenyal1633]

I always wanted to go to school for animation. it's been my dream. I have a huge passion for it. I always wanted to do diffrent things in life but I would get bored and move on but when it comes to art and animation it's a different story I'm so close to going to my art school i plan go to Japan and learn there too. I'm so excited to make my stories. my long term goals is to make my own studio. I know that's huge but I'm not going to let that stop me. thus was so interesting and international. thank you for sharing. I love your work so much!!

[@youniqca1489]

You can good at both drawing physically and on computer. This is too amazing!! Awesome works!

[@nisharangdal781]

i really love your projects. as a design student myself, i can connect with what you've been doing, although I'm not doing the same things you are (wish I was though 😅). i really love how your projects have such different and diverse cultural influences. I'd love hearing more about your projects. please upload more videos like this if you can!

[@AniMercuryX]

Wow! Your art is amazing! I'm kinda jealous but at the same time I respect and admire your amazing skills. I would love it if you could give me a tip or two on how I can focus better to my university assignments about animation(2D & 3D). It's really a nerve racking procedure! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@jannekoart]

I'm studying 2D animation in The Netherlands right now, and it's so nice to see the differences and similarities in the assignments! (I am also in the first year). You have a lot more graphic design related things to make (and 3D obviously which I don't have). But I also had to make an animated loop about food! Thanks for sharing your uni work here, it is always inspiring and fun to see other people's artschool work. :D I especially love the google doodle animation you made! (I also had to do a walkcycle assignment, I get the struggle)

[@noelleli4187]

Great. Follow your heart, mate! I know you will be worldwide famous one day.

[@ayaadjie8921]

Oh my god. First of all, i LOVE the idea of bird and dog thing, and the 'poster' or that thing after the story board, it's just so heart warming. I would love to see the animation of that. I already love the story board. I also like the style of the asian red riding hood. I love your coloring style and lighting. Thank you so much for this video. I'm going to be an illustrator/designer when i grow up. I'm also very interested of being a producer. I'm 16 and currently in a vocational high school in Indonesia, my major is art-animation. But believe me, it's not the best. We only have one class, one teacher that fits our major. It's a new major, and the school itself isn't the best. But, i'm now actually making logos and illustrations and selling them. Back to the point, thank you so much for sharing your experience, now i know i have some image of studying arts. This helps me so much. You got yourself a new subscriber

[@TheWwjd95]

Woahhh I love your style! Your work is amazing. You're right, you're SOO GOOD with that lighting stuff it's so intriguing 😱😍 2:05 had me in woahh

[@jennifer9084]

This was amazing. I loved the one at the end. It was so beautiful. You really know how to choose your colors. Beautiful work. I also loved the google doodle and the two posters of the visual scripting.

[@anna_t19]

Really interesting, loved seeing all your projects. I particularly loved the Japanese Little Red Riding Hood, I know you found it challenging, for me it was really striking. The spaghetti scene was also pretty cute 😊

[@jbeoin]

Oh my god, that Miyazaki walk through is just so beautiful!! 😍😍😃

This has been in my recommendations for weeks despite the fact that I study film but it's a good thing I decided to finally watch it. Your assignments seem so interesting & the Google Doodle project was by far my favourite I could honestly watch it for ages (the leaf is so mesmerising). Also I spent like half of the video trying to figure out your accent lol -.-
