Gobelins Masters Application Tips and Tricks | 2022

[@ThatGrayCartoonPony]

Hi Sofiia. 👋 CAAF2020 graduate here (I worked on Coffin if you're curious). I think it's important to mention that there are 2 Gobelins programs for character animation: CAAF (international classes in english) and CRFA (in french). When I was a student, there was no Bachelor for CAAF (only Master), each program had roughtly 25 places, and both programs would mix during the 2nd year of Master while working on the graduation film. Which means by that time it was easier for an international student to get accepted for the Master program than for a French one since most French Bachelors went straight to Master in CRFA (filling most of the space), while international bachelors had 25 vacant places to fill in CAAF. With the 2022 reform, not only Bachelor got an extra year overall, but it also got included in the CAAF program, making the field more even when applying for a Master. And I believe now both programs also get mixed at the end of Bachelor while working on the VFX and Annecy shorts. Other than that I think you perfectly described the application process for Gobelins (yeah, the motivation video was terrifying if you do the recording alone, thankfully the interview was MUCH more relaxed and casual). In CAAF in perticuliar, there'll be people with different backgrounds (cultural and professional), most (well, pretty much all) will have an imposter syndrome, but they usually will be pretty open and friendly. Good luck Sofiia with your graduation film, and good luck for anyone interested in attending Gobelins. It's a big school but you'll never know until you apply for it. 🙂

[@loafkey]

Thanks for pointing these things out! Since I only just joined, I didn't know much about how Gobelins worked before so this is very insightful ^^ Good luck to us all, indeed.

[@SkyLight_0]

Hi.. please answer me, does this mean that I can go to gobelins without knowing anything about French?

[@ThatGrayCartoonPony]

​@@SkyLight_0 You can. No worries. One of my peers graduated alongside me without knowing French. ;)

[@SkyLight_0]

@@ThatGrayCartoonPony Oh thank you very much! Then I will have to learn English. By the way, is it possible to get a scholarship in my degree? because for me it is a very high cost

[@nikoniko_ni4456]

As an animation student, too, congrats on your acceptance into Gobelins !!! I have always admire Gobelins and every time I see people successfully enter this school and share their experience, it motivates me to one day apply to Master Degree too or, at least, have the opportunity to work with graduated students from this school.

[@huonglethiviet5240]

Although I do not major in animation, it's so interesting to hear your journey in arts over the years. I hope you will share some of your experiences in Gobelins in the future. Have a great time with your master.

[@brigettenicklas]

Thank you, how you broke down the process makes the application process feel less enormous, LOL :-) As for video ideas, I would love to see your process of a class project- from start to finish. Small skits with limited animation like this style, of your time in France, and your life could be fun. Also, how you found housing would be helpful!

[@violetfolgi]

I would be very happy to hear you talk about the painful burocracy of the French administration system that you have to deal as an international student 😊. I'd love to apply someday to this program and I'd do it as an international student as well. Thank you so much for making this video!!! it's been so helpful and illuminating about the whole process :)

[@pockspocket]

A few months ago I saw this video and watched a bit of it not thinking and didn't think too much about it, I was just curious on what Gobelins was. Now I'm planning to apply next year to the school and remembered this video exists. Thank you so much!

[@mayukhbanerjee1147]

Congratulations!!! I work in software engineering but someday hope to join Gobelin to pursue my passion. Saving this video for that time. Fingers crossed that I make it

[@SketchySquirrel]

Sofiia, Thank you so much for this video. For a long time I thought that Gobelins was a far-off dream that I was not close to reaching, however seeing your story, I realise that it is a possiblitiy. You broke down the application steps so well, and I'm feeling a lot better about it all. 😀

[@Skull19O1]

at the moment im an armature artist, really striving to become an animator and a damn good one at that. I dont think i could ever afford these courses and being honest i have a long journey to reach that level. Im a culinary chef at the moment and with life at the moment its delayed me a bit but i do believe in becoming an amazing artist i just never knew where to start. Thanks to this video it gives me a sight on where to go. I dont plan on applying to gobelins or maybe i dont really care, but what i do care about applying those artist standard to myself. I also wanna add how this video guided me. I fucked up art college, too much partying and being lazy so got suspended and never came back, just went to the culinary industry straight through. ive put my ambitions on standby with the idea that ill teach myself just like the ogs. I felt lost and didnt know where to start again, i do wanna go back to school but i dont got the bills atm and when you hit 23 time just feels different faster like you gotta do something. so i just practice and study everything online through pdf books to videos. to videos on how to read those books. I felt like they helped me improved but not the the extent i want. Even after watching those videos on how to become the artist, how to get it good, how to believe in one self, i still felt lost not through ambition but direction. I recently quit my job, i've grown and gain a love of art and its study. I want this. The job was good to me but i just want to tell my stories and jokes, i was always iching to draw and it bothered me constantly that i wasent behind a pen and paper expressing my dumb shit out there. After leaving and dealing with the unlimited free time one can get lose very easily. I manage to build an idea and improve my skill while at it. Now what, i felt so lost and dumb. I started to respond by just doing things i thought would help me reach a goal, get a expensive laptop, a drawing tablet, make a small cartoon, enter art courses and still i felt lost. That until i saw your video, it shows what i gotta do, after all these 250+ videos on a tutorial playlist, it took just this one to get me on track. So you should be happy that you made this video, it goes further than just a gobelins video, its very helpful in its own way, ive never had trouble with people or selling myself but i always had trouble on proving myself through my works in art. I know i have the skill but i always believed i never had the true skills to prove myself that was myself doubt, my work. It also shows in a weird way, human well to me. there are people out there like me and this video is showed me its ok to be in my position that as long as im working for it, theres still hope and achievement. thank you

Aaaww the video came out very good with a reeallyyy cute artstyle, especially very motivated! (I say right away, long text⬇️,....soryyy) I myself had a dream to study at an art school in New York haha, and where a couple of artists I know studied there, who then did/do their own show. Or studying at well-known schools as Sheridan, CalArts, Bournemouth University a.s.n.... Buuutt first of all, I just don't have the money😂 And secondly, shame on me to say this, I just have not enough skills- Don't get me wrong, I really love drawing and animations and would really like to continue to study and develop in this direction, but cuz of my work I'm just tired all the time and almost only sleep. For such schools, I don't even have something to show in my portfolio. But your video is very motivating, thank you so much for that and for your Tips! I'll look at more schools in country in which I live, they're not very notable so it's more difficult to say whether they are good in reviews and ratings😬 but perhaps at least quite affordable ааand still get a bfa in animation at least, who knows- Also- btw, very happy for you studying at such a amazing school!! I'm subscribed to Gobelins on YT and DANG- really admire their animations and stories, what a talented people!👏👏 Good luck on your journey and waiting for your incredible works!!👍♥️

Hello! Thank you so much for this video! Its amazingly well done, also if you have time Can you talk about studying in Lisaa? If you recommend to study there And what did you learn?

[@loafkey]

Overall, I can not really recommend it. Right when I left a bunch of teachers and the director of the school changed and it’s still very chaotic. The new administration removed a lot of the creative classes and are gonna make the school more about the technical part of animation instead of working together to make a short film.

[@naranoken]

Heya ! Animation student at Lisaa here ! From what we understood, working together on short films is still obligatory but for the second year and third year only. Last year, the administration was a mess, removing classes etc.. 😅 but there's a new administration (don't know if we're talking about the one lead by Puchol) this year and they changed stuff again (hopefully for the better) !

❗Hi Sofia, please respond! 🙏 Do you need to have completed a bachelor's degree to be able to apply for a master's degree? Or can I directly apply with the experience I have?

[@loafkey]

I’ve heard both things, it depends on the person’s case so you should email the school telling what kind of experience you have. For example, you don’t need to show a bachelors degree if you have some years of experience working for h to w animation industry. In the end, your experience will be seen by your portfolio.

Hi. Sorry, I prefer English so you might need to use Google Translate. You need a pretty good level of English to work in a team and with teachers properly. You don't need French in class but it is very helpful to have a basic skill. You need a good basic knowledge of French to live in France comfortably while you study.

I am from visual communication design so is there any chance for me to get into goeblins?

[@loafkey]

@@monjishroy9236 you can get in even without an animation degree. In the end, it’s about the quality of your portfolio. Though I don’t think you could get in with 0 animation experience. The school had cases of people getting accepted with no degree but 5 years of experience in the animation industry, for example. I would email Gobelins directly if you are not sure. (This is all stuff I learned with the teacher that helped me apply)

Привіт, дуже здивувалася що ви теж навчалися в ДХСШ хахахха))) Коли я дивилася на сайті Гобелінс то трошки не зрозуміла, чи є у них бюджет :..) якщо ні, то скільки коштує один навчальний рік? Також бачила декілька rejected портфоліо від інших людей, які малювали в аніме стилістиці, чи є в гобелінс пунктік на аніме? чи можуть вони відхилити моє портфоліо за це? ви знімаєте квартиру в Парижі чи у них є гуртожитки?

[@loafkey]

Привіт, Бюджету нема. Є партнерські сайти де модна податися на стипендію, це треба робити одночасно з поступанням. Скілктєи коштує вказано на сайті. Для українців як для студентів поза европейского союзу. Щодо аніме то я не впевнена. Коли бачу роботу людей навколато ніхто не малює в цьому стилі проте ж багато фанатів аніме. Стиль Міядзакі проте тут люблять. Та думаю стиль то другорядне питання якщо анатомія та конструкція малюнку правильна. Живу у гуртожитку Cite Universitaire de Paris - гуртожиток для студентів внещаледності від університету. Тут нема гуртожитків прив’язаних до навчальних закладів. Проте місця обмежені і треба подаватися зарання. Але зараз вони надають перевагу українським студентам.

[@__mya]

​@@loafkey А можете будь ласка розказати про партнерські програми і як їх шукати. Думаю що може в майбутньому попробую поступити і хочеться знати про таке зарання. Хоч це і буде через 2-3 года. Але хочеться підготуватися і покращити свої навички для цього всього. П.с. Ніхто ж не забороняє нам мріяти? Хоч і поступити туда доволі тяжко, але може повезе? Кстаті є питання, як вам навчання? Складно чи як? Як довго привикали до нового місця і які там вчителя? Все ж хотілось би дізнатись про таке :3

[@loafkey]

@@__mya про фінансування навчання можна прочитати ось тут www.gobelins-school.com/how-finance-your-studies Навчатися мені тут дуже подобається, все виправдовує мої очікування ^^ Чудові однокласники та організовані вчителі що працювали над відомими проєктами. Думаю Гобелінс повністю того вартий. Мріяти завжди можна то я бажаю успіхів!

[@__mya]

​@@loafkey Дуже дякую за відповідь! Питання, анімірувати ви самі вчились чи по якимось відео? (Якщо так, то є рекомендації). Хочу почати продвигатися в цьому щоб в майбутньому теж найти себе в цій сфері. Також складно вчити французьку? Вона потрібна тільки для спілкування з іншими чи також для того щоб вчитися? Чи є англійський курс? Також буду рада дізнатися як вам французька?

[@__mya]

​@@loafkey також питання яких ви вибрали спонсорів (чи як їх ще назвати) вибирали? Наприклад якщо як хочу поступити на бакалавра що краще взяти? Думаю що магістр мені не світить в майбутньому без бакалавра. Також вам допомагали устроїтись на роботу щоб оплачувати далі навчання і своє проживання? Хотілось би побільше про це дізнатись

[@thenumbfeeling]

Do i need to learn french to do the master degree?

[@loafkey]

The international masters is in English, all teachers speak English but not all are perfectly fluent. Knowing basic French would be very helpful in day-to-day life in Paris like going to the doctor, speaking with social security and such. If you need to email or call any place most likely they will not speak English.

[@thenumbfeeling]

@@loafkey thank you so much for the response. Other than for communication and daily life needs, will it affect the application process in any way?

[@ellenmai7826]

I've been trying to gain access to the discord but the link seems to be expired - does anyone else know where I can join? :)

[@loafkey]

Sorry about that! I was sure it was an infinite one D: The way I found this server originally was by googling “Gobelins hopefuls discord server” and there was a link in a Reddit post. Hope it s still there!

[@ellenmai7826]

@@loafkey AH YES! I found it - thank you so much really really appreciate it

[@fatemehk.1094]

I did contect them but I didn't get any replies :( Also, do you know which courses are in English?

[@loafkey]

When you apply, if you are an international student they will put you if the English one, don’t worry. Unless you are not planning to go into animation in that case I am not sure.

[@D2urheart]

дуже корисне відео, дякую! хотіла поцікавитися для українців ціна за рік 15 тисяч євро, правильно? чи пробували ви отримати стипендію?

[@loafkey]

Коли я поступала було нище. 13 тисяч здаеться. Ціни за рік щороку зростають з того що я чула. Стипендію цього року профукала бо не знала, що треба на них подаватися разом з поступанням :,) тож запізнилася, але сподіваюся буду мати одну на другий рік.

[@D2urheart]

@@loafkey дякую за відповідь) як вам взагалі навчання, особливо якщо порівнювати з українським?

[@loafkey]

@@D2urheart Дуже задоволена якістю вчителів. Всі працювали над відомими анімаційними фільмами. Деякі звичайно навчають краще за інших аде у нас є гарний організатор який постійно перевіряє чи все нам подобається. Воаштовує додаткову лекції бажаючим, наприклад.

[@prettyspectrum6371]

I hear that Gobelins doesn't accept people from 25 or above. That's so wrong in my opinion. A question. Do you speak fluent French ?

[@loafkey]

I have two classmates in masters that are 30+ years old so I don’t think that’s true. Before arriving to France my French was 0 but with Duolingo l and being in a French speaking environment It has become decent over 3 years :) You really can’t live comfortably in France without knowing basic French because they will mostly not speak English in places like banks or hospitals.

[@a.r.k7863]

And here is was pronouncing gobelins as GOBLINS 😂😂😅

[@loafkey]

Well any time anyone pronounces it it’s a little different so honestly o don’t think there is a @correct way” ^^”

[@Terellin]

Я теж з України 😀

[@Waste-Water-Management]

Thank you for this video! I was afraid I was too old for Gobelins since I only learned about it at the end of senior year of high school 😢So my dreams were shattered but maybe just maybe I can go there one day… Your video gave me a bit of hope.
