Pasadena ArtCenter vs School of Visual Arts (SVA)

Hey I just wanted to know which school would be better for me if I'm going in as an Animation major. ArtCenter or SVA?

lol man do some research

[Fr0gdude]

I did and they are both very good schools. Although Artcenter doesnt have a Animation major its pretty much the new illustration over there and you learn the same stuff. But both are very good schools so I need help deciding. Any advice would be appreciated.

We're not psychic. How would we know which might be better for you without any information about you: background, age (I'm guessing young), goals, financial situation, etc etc etc?

Have you ever heard of Vancouver Film School?

You can find a crap load of student demo reels on youtube.

I'm not sure how they stack up against the other schools you listed but many of the reels their are top notch.

well, if you SAY you've done your research, then you should know what kind of work you want to do as related to the animation industry. if you actually want to animate then i'd say go somewhere else like cal arts, or something. if you want to do the background or storyboards, then either one of those schools would be good and you'd just have to see which one would be better for you considering your financial situation and where you want to live.
