Congrats for getting in Gobelins! Your reel is incredible ❤️

[@LavaArtchannel]

Thank you so much!!

[@wangchi1676]

This is stunning! As someone (attempting) to make her first demo real this was incredibly inspiring!! I loved every second of it! I love how everything from the backgrounds(super beautiful backgrounds btw) to the noise/sounds made everything, transition so smoothly! Hopefully I’ll be able to create a nice demo reel as well! xD

Why are animators not appreciated enough to be given millions to make gorgeous animations like this. Corporations stop giving talentless hacks money to make modern life action and 3D crap and give money to people like this with real talent!

[@fre_eart0118]

This is amazing, Lava! Congrats for getting in!! QAQ I have a question: I enquired Gobelins about the requirements for a demo reel when applying for their animation bachelor of arts, and they say that we don't need to submit a demo reel? And they also stated that if I knew how to animate then the Bachelor of Arts may not be suitable for me, and I am again confused because you submitted a demo reel. So are animation skills are not really needed as a requirement for a Bachelor of Arts? Or will a demo reel increase the chance of acceptance?

[@LavaArtchannel]

No it's not needed! And if you meet the requirements for the masters you should definitely apply there. Since I already knew how to animate I got to skip a year, and started in the second year of the bachelors. But that normally doesn't happen. Just submit a powerful portfolio and you'll get in, no need for a demoreel! If you want you could always add it but it isn't necessary

[@gumgum9942]

@@LavaArtchannel hi! What did you do to skip a year? Did you send an email to the school asking them to skip it? I actually want to submit my demo reel

Gobelins, First off, I want to congratulate you on your acceptance! It's so cool to see people being able to live their dreams! Secondly, I have an experience offer for you: my name is Olive, and I am the director of B4: Guardians, a Rise Of the Brave Tangled Dragons fanfilm, and I am currently looking for (unpaid) animators for this fanfilm. It's 1h4m4s in length, and it's been in production since 2013. It's about Jack Frost, Merida, Rapunzel, and Hiccup being chosen to defeat a great evil, discover their centers, and help rekindle a broken father/daughter relationship. If you're interested, please let me know! If you're not interested in an unpaid gig, I totally understand. Thank you for reading my comment, and I wish you luck on all of your endeavors.

Hello. How much time did it take u to build your portfolio (Regarding demoreel). I want to go too but my drawing skill is a mess, I barely created art in my life and I have less than 6 months left. I have nothing on the table, Do I even have a chance? I mean trying intense courses or just apply next year? Ypur work is awesome and I feel like I'm decades away from something like that.

[@hannahdy7997]

Hello! Great portfolio. it is really impressive! Would it be alright to ask if your portfolio got in the Bachelor of animation or Prepatory year? I plan to apply to Gobelins this year.. thanks!

[@fiyahanimations5103]

Hello! I stumbled upon your work and it has been really a great inspiration for me upon making a portfolio for Gobelins! I have a question though, I noticed that your character designs were in pencil but upon inking, coloring it and placing a yellowish background… was that all done in photoshop? I am confused with the requirements because in Gobelins’ website they like mostly traditional outputs. But I can see your portfolio has both traditional and digital 😅

[@LavaArtchannel]

Thank you so much! No those character designs were all done digitally, the only traditional work I have are my anatomy and people sketches. But they didn't seem to mind that I had more digital stuff! Just show that you can do both and you'll be fine! (And if you can't do digital just draw a lot of traditional they still love to see that)

[@LavaArtchannel]

Most portfolio's I saw had a good combination of both digital and traditional. Hope this helps! And if you have further questions just ask ;)

@@LavaArtchannel i see! Thank you for your reply! 😊 Lastly if I may, since Gobelins is in Europe, were there any concerns regarding going there amid pandemic?

Nice, I'm looking for the 3D Animation departement in Paris and I'm wayyy more 3D than 2D. Is it really important for me to catch up my lack of competence in 2D if I want to get accepted ? I think we must have in any situation, bachelor or master, both 2D/3D studies sooo idk.

[@grace_thi6328]

Do you have to give an animation demo reel for the Bachelors program? Doing research it seemed as if it was more towards the graduate program. If so I would love to know because I do not have as much animating experience as this demo reel....

[@kolacao8134]

Hi lava, congrats on your entrance. I don't how is in gobbelins but do they teach you to do this animation to apply for entry or in france there is really good art education? Since calarts only asks for an art portfolio.. Excuse my english is not native u_u

[@LavaArtchannel]

I have never done art education before and everything you see in my demoreel is self taught. For the Gobelins Course itself you dont need to know animation to apply but I already wanted to show that I can do it. An art portfolio is enough to apply and animation is not necessary!😁

I should put the traditional first, because Gobelins really like that kind of stuff but if your symbol animation is better then you should always put your best work first! And no you don't have to add backgrounds, you can, but its not a must
