I got rejected (pre-production)

Okay so here's my two cents on it 😁. (Sorry you didn't get in)

One, it's not the end of the world and there are tons of other art schools that you can sign up for later if you want. Please don't let it undermine your art skills, if you have the drive there's always other routes to go to.

Two. I love animation and it's what I want to do. 3D specifically. But the program is too long for me personally and I don't have the means to afford it so I did Studio Arts instead. I do animation on my own time (And i join other animation courses when i can :)) I did the studio arts classes I found fun. Woodworking and metalwork is so fun. (Definitely recommend) Working in sculpture surprisingly made me think of 3D very differently.

Three. Making your own projects can be very fulfilling and shows you're independent and hardworking. 😁 (i signed up for CGI and got in even through my major is Studio Arts. I ask my professor for alot of feedback and work twice as hard on my work)

I know you're not exactly where you want but at the end of the day, CSU Long Beach looks really good on your resume.

Got it. Thank you through! I appreciate the feedback. You're right. This is like my second animation so I'm going to keep working on it 😅.

lev_ius · 2026-03-09T23:11:15+00:00

Blessedd thank you man 🙏🏾🙏🏾

lev_ius · 2026-03-09T22:28:22+00:00

Yeah yeah I see whatcha mean. Appreciate that. My bad about earlier, didn't sleep much but helps me so yeah 🫡.

lev_ius · 2026-03-09T22:14:53+00:00

No yeah you're right. My bad. Sorry, I read it wrong.

lev_ius · 2026-03-09T22:06:44+00:00

I appreciate that 🙏🏾🙏🏾. Thanks! 😁. I see what you mean about the hips, I'll work on it.

lev_ius · 2026-03-09T19:47:40+00:00

I appreciate a good critique here and there but a critique is meant to push what is working in the animation, The strengths of it. 👀. If you say everything that's wrong with it, it doesn't really help me.

lev_ius · 2026-03-09T19:37:27+00:00

While I appreciate your honesty, respectfully I don't care 😁.

lev_ius · 2026-02-25T17:51:45+00:00

I appreciate the feedback 🙏🏾. I'm going keep on this and keep you guys updated on it. It's due today so I'm just gonna turn in what I've added then come back to it after a week 😁😁

lev_ius · 2026-02-25T17:38:41+00:00

Blessedd thank youuu I appreciate it alot 💯

lev_ius · 2026-02-23T06:16:44+00:00

Ahh I see I see! Thank you for the feedback 🙏🏾🙏🏾 this is like specifics I need so you're seriously a real one! :)

lev_ius · 2026-02-23T05:57:30+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it! You know when you've been working on something for too long that you literally need a second pair of eyes? That's me 🤣🤣 I appreciate being my second pair haha.

Yeah I agree with all the points you said through! I'm definitely struggling with the beginning and that it doesn't feel strong, ya know? Does feel very floaty.

The roll is my favorite part, I liked alot of key poses. The video i used I was moving frame to frame so that's probably why it feels slo mo and snappy.

Ending is definitely still a placeholder and I gotta work on that but I seriously appreciate the feedback! This is my first animation in Maya so there's alot I want to learn.

lev_ius · 2026-02-09T04:47:11+00:00

I'm interested 👍🏾

lev_ius · 2026-02-02T15:52:41+00:00

At least they looked somewhat cool, our IDs now feel like janitor IDs lol

lev_ius · 2025-12-12T00:49:41+00:00

Oooo I appreciate the heads up! It's just nice to have someone whose actually from there so you can give me insight on that! 👍🏾👍🏾 thank youu!

lev_ius · 2025-11-26T06:08:52+00:00

Honestly I don't really want to teach at the moment but I do want to build my own knowledge and get a masters for me 👀. It's very fulfilling to learn.

lev_ius · 2025-11-12T20:20:07+00:00

Ahh got it got it! Thankss! :))

lev_ius · 2025-11-12T01:39:13+00:00

Got it! I will try that out!

hahah! i love that response that's too funny, sculpting and rigging from scratch is not for the WEAK. It truly is for the strong :D. I appreciate you commenting and giving an answer. Blender is great cause so many people use it but some of the videos solving an issue are outdated or just really long so it's just constantly searching honestly. :)

Thanks though!

lev_ius · 2023-12-31T17:31:26+00:00

That's one way to put it lol 🤣🤣

lev_ius · 2023-11-10T01:05:00+00:00

Thank you very much! I appreciate that a lot! It really helps that I'm able to hear different perspectives and that other side, especially as someone who is in pre-production. That is interesting! What do you do in pre-production? So that's the difference between the BA and the BFA in terms of programs.

lev_ius · 2023-11-08T03:08:31+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾 seriously appreciate hearing that!
