#ILM
I think it would be more appropriate to do film-making or
broadcast-design classes rather than just art to be an animation wiz.
Or even a mix of both. In fact, I would suggest a curriculum of art,
film-making, design, and programming – all using computer-based
tools.
BTW, I just finished my demo and didn't use any "cheesy" wipes or
transitions; only cuts, dissolves and fades. The result was still
fast-paced and high-tech, but without the fromage (cheese) <g>.
