If this was done in 2008, It might be safe to assume you have acquired some know-how about he biz. I am looking to go into web design at byui because I do like it and also it's not short in terms of work. My dream would be to do motion graphics / spfx for movies if I am lucky enough. Do you think a degree in web design would detract from me getting hired for a dream job if I had a good mographics portfolio? anyone else please answer if you have any knowledge as well. Thanks, and really good work

@JuicyDBASE hey! Thank you for watching the video and for your kind words. To be very honest with you, I do think if your dream is doing vfx and graphics for motion pictures, a web design degree is not the best way to get there. The backgrounds are somewhat different, and the softwares and technologies you learn are very different. I would suggest searching for a Motion Graphics, 3D Animation, Digital Arts and Design degree, I went to Full Sail, but there are many good schools out there

@JuicyDBASE Some of the schools I know have programs to get you into motion graphics / visual effects are in no particular order: Full Sail University, Vancouver Film School (Canada), Academy of Art University, Savannah College or Art and Design, Gnomon School of Visual Effects, Dave School, Supinfocom (France).

Hey I am debating to take this program or game art. Do they go into any 3d modeling in your program?

[fertolgue]

@foxbobby78 They do, however is somehow limited. It's by no means the same amount as the Computer Animation program. You only have 2 classes of 3D Studio Max and it involves pretty much only modeling. No hardcore animation or rigging characters or anything like that. Just modeling, lighting, cameras and mechanical animation.

Im really interested in the Digital Arts & Design program but I was wondering if you need to know how to draw to be in it? Thanks
