Asked by beachan18Well, I've been accepted to the Art Institute of Atlanta, and since it's so expensive and I'll probably be paying off the loans for the rest of my life after I graduate, i was wondering if it's really worth all of that money? I'm planning on going for the Bachelor's Degree on Game Art and Design or Media Arts and Animation. Any AiA students want to share? Thanks

There are better animation schools in the Atlanta area. The problem with AI is that it is a for profit school. But you can learn anywhere. Go in and talk to the teachers and look at their demo reel. If they are good you will be able to see. Hey it is your money. they are working for you. Another problem with AI is that there are degree crazy. They will take a Masters degree for a teacher over a real animator. So ask to see what they have animated. I teach at one college with a some times AI insturstor with a Master degree and he has done maybe 2 animations in his whole life while getting his degree. I get his students and I have to re-train them. That is what happens when a piece of paper is more important that skills. Just make sure that the people teaching you know what they are talking about and have the skills the are paid to teach by seeing their work before you pay the bucks and you should be okay. The best way to learn to animate is to animate and you don't have to go to a school to do that. Larry Loc Author: Animation on a ShoeString Daily Web Log: www.agni-animation.com/blog/index.com
