How the fuck are you supposed to apply for an academy for a profession where they already require you to have prior knowledge and skill for it when you want to fucking learn it? I want to study to become a 2D animator and the requirements literally require me to make a fucking short film even though I have not been taught how to before. And I cannot find any private tutoring for 2D animation so I can actually prepare to apply.

Why did I make it RED? Because it is practically required. Everyone who's not the son or daughter of a rich family or a politician, who does not have connections IS required to produce one. Exchange students burqa reactionary subhumans from ERASMUS get away with not doing it. The slut daughters of politicians and the faggot failsons also get away with not doing it, in fact they don't do anything, because corruption is so big here they can just become accepted under the table without having to ever present a portfolio or do any of this shit.
>>495>wait, are they asking you to watch all those movies? Yes and again, only for the candidates which apply without having any connections (those who come from working class families). The candidates which are privileged sons or daughters of famous families (politicians, artists, rich swine) are not required to do anything to get in. The same with ERASMUS exchange students.
The students which are not privileged enough will be tested on these films when applying. They will be quizzed on any of them.
>>496There is no other option. This is the only academy that will allow me to work overseas. Which I have to, because 2D animation jobs for film studios do not exist here. Only advertisements AFAIK.
>Is there some sort of art secondary school which feeds it or something?I don't know what you mean by feeds it. But most of the posh faggots who get into this academy are from another posh art school which I tried to apply to in 7th grade but got rejected because there was a large influx of students applying and they only picked "the best" (those with connections to powerful families & the exchange students). The academy is going to be much the same. I'm trying to find connections to try to get in but its taking long and my retarded family can't grasp it.
>WHY ARE YOU STILL WORKING AT A RESTURANT? DID YOU NOT WANT TO BE AN ANIMATOR? LOOK FOR LESSONS, STUDY AND APPLY!As if it were that fucking easy, every day with their fucking bickering the same shit over and over again. There are no fucking courses or tutors for this.
>>498>I tried to apply to in 7th grade but got rejected because there was a large influx of students applying and they only picked "the best".That's pretty much what meant, but "the best" probably just had private lessons early like you mentioned.
>>534It's probably only funny because its enjoyable.
>>537What if you just try and do what you want to do without trying to fit it into any economic framework (maybe an institution can help you with that, but maybe not)? Upside is you get to work towards/on what you want, downside is you won't necessarily get what you want. That is in the worse case you're caught in a local maxima, having had a decent go of it.
Not sure if this is all one wanted to write on this but it's a start. >>540>way bigger feet than making a shitty short movie.If the criteria are like calarts shit then yes, if the criteria are like on a Studio SEK / Melnitsa Studio level I'd disagree.
They incorporate music like that into their works after all, so they're also required to be able to produce it as well. The point being that its not a one man job.
>>538>What if you just try and do what you want to do without trying to fit it into any economic framework (maybe an institution can help you with that, but maybe not)? Upside is you get to work towards/on what you want, downside is you won't necessarily get what you want. That is in the worse case you're caught in a local maxima, having had a decent go of it.I know it's hard to believe but there's people that love doing bluecollar jobs not just for money but as a hobby.
You can get the best of both worlds there.
Art majors don't always get to work whenever or wherever they want. You still run into writers block.
You still have to deal with limited tools.
>>551lmfao artists were literally the original petit-bourgeois, the dumb shit i have to read here man
>b-b-b-but im pooridgaf, i guess failing small business owners are proletarian too now
>>547>there's people that love doing bluecollar jobs not just for money but as a hobby.Here about these, and it is hard to imagine.
Often it's someone who pursued a life long passion and then economized it.
"Always wanted to be a cop." etc.
So it still serves the framework of
>>538.
>>562>Here about these, and it is hard to imagine. Often it's someone who pursued a life long passion and then economized it. "Always wanted to be a cop." etc.Coos are not blue collar.
Alot of them are either jocks, delinquents or idealists (starting out). But they're not paid a glamourous wage.
Also, there's volunteer cops
