<p>Creative director is a rather vague job description for these industries and certainly not a position that you will likely get right out of school but rather one that you would work your way up to. Determine if you are more interested in film, video games or visual effects/animation and go from there. For info on VFX related jobs, this book may help: <a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Job-Computer-Graphics-Advice-ebook/dp/B000PY4A7A”>http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Job-Computer-Graphics-Advice-ebook/dp/B000PY4A7A</a>
For film/vfx the type of job descriptions you may want to look into are Production Designer, Set Designer, Art Director. For games also Game Designer, Game/Story Writer, and the various Art Department lead positions (also for animation).</p>
<p>If you are interested in the creative side, don’t get sidetracked by the technical side unless you are more interested in becoming a programmer. You will need strong design, composition and color skills. Also necessary will be a strong understanding of the story process in either film or games. </p>
<p>If your current school doesn’t offer much, your options are either to transfer to a school w/ a game/animation program or choose the most creative major you are interested at OSU and find some online classes in the area you are interested in. There are many great industry classes found on the internet these days. </p>
<p>Duega7’s suggestions about checking out your local CC’s are great. The extreme popularity of the field has resulted video game/vfx programs sprouting up like weeds. </p>
