Hey, everybody!
I have a young friend who will be graduating in about a year. She is trying to figure out what to do with a degree in Communications and Cinematic Study in Detroit.
We all know everyone loves p.a.'s and interns, so I suggested doing that to get a foot in the door. However, she talked to me a little about being interested in animation. Not my area at all.
Does anyone have any info I could pass along? Where to look, what kind of software should she consider learning (or buying considering she could get student discounts) Any informative books. Any avenues in through the back door (meaning if you can't go to film school, start in public access t.v.-- that's what I did.)
She's very early 20's (oh, to be twenty and just starting out) Any advice for a bright and shiny graduate? I figure, let everything be 'glittery' while it can, she'll learn the work part soon enough.
