hi, my background is B.sc in computer science, but would like to pursue grad program in animation. But one thing is standing on my way, i do not have a portfolio nor sketch book except talent. Is there any good grad school out there that can help me prepare the portfolio before they allow me to join their grad school ? first, i thought i would go to any fine art school and then grad, but if there are any that do both at the same time please show me the way. Thanks

hmm. i goto the academy of art university in san francisco. im in my senior year in character animation. they dont recquire anything except money. sad but true, our school loves money. I wouldnt recommend it as the best school in the country but they do have classes taught by pixar animators. (very exclusive, u are hand picked by submitting your work to get into those classes)

nevertheless i would recommend animationmentor.com
its an online animation school that is taught also by the industry's best in sony, ilm, pixar, dreamworks, tippet, bluesky and much more. great program! however its not a degree program, only diplomas.
