Where did everyone go to school?

[Vincent Veidt]

When it comes to learning to animate, there are various schools each offering something individual. I've seen a lot of my peers attend VFS, SVA, and CalArts just to name a few, but I want to know how the majority trains and learns. To start off the topic, I've been teaching myself since I was fourteen using books, videos, manuals, guides, advice, and mostly just taking classic animated films and breaking them down by frame. How did YOU learn the trade?

Take the summer class. Learn some animation, learn some french. Gagne-Gagne.
