<p>I’m interested in being an graphics animator, but I want to keep my options open. I definitely want to at least minor in film though.</p>
<p>I have been looking at Penn State, Rutgers, BU, Pitt, & Northeastern. I have no clue what other schools to look at though. I do know that I do not want to go to a small college, I enjoy constantly seeing new faces.</p>
<p>You say that your ECs are time consuming, list the number of hours because the list of ECs seems rather short for those schools. If you can be very specific and mention any fundraisers or drives you started, even if it is included within another club.

Comp sci , very interesting, do you self-study or learn by school. I’m taking that AP but I have to learn it on my own. Also, for graphics animation, have you studied anything of it in your own time? It looks great on apps if you did, i hear.

chance me?</p>
<p>Marching band takes up about 15-28 hours on the average week over 5 days a week. That lasts through November. Then winter guard takes up about 7 hours a week december through January and about 18 per week through April. </p>
<p>Comp Sci is a course at my school. As for animation I took computer graphics and we did some animation in that.</p>
<p>Hmmm…thats good, but do more studying on your own time to. By computer grphics do you include 3d/2d rendering? Putting a portfolio together, and getting a sample of software together would help.</p>
<p>The class covered photoshop and 3d rendering in Bryce 3d. If I want to make a portfolio however, I am going to have to go to my old teacher after school to make some things. I took the class sophmore year and because the hard drives are terrible they are wiped to make room each year.</p>
<p>Make sure that your artwork is exceptional–btw, corel painter is a very nice painting program, give it a try–and put some of your own time into cg, not just class time for very good chances–Do you have a cgtalk/cgsociety account?</p>
