Hello! I am a sophomore in high school.
I want to become a 2D animator. I live in Chicago, near the School of Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC).
The problem is that the animation samples I have watched from SAIC have not been very impressive. (Maybe I am looking in the wrong places-- I know SAIC is very well regarded and apparently #1 for animation.)
I watched samples of animations from Savannah College of Art and Design and was more impressed.
I am very conflicted as to which university I should go to. I was also wondering, is Purdue worth considering for animation? I’m considering because if I go there, I can live with a family friend for free.
Thank you!
