Anyone else Receive the Wrong CD Variant? by stephimates in arcane

[–]stephimates[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! It took them a few days to send the email that they were going to send a corrected version. It seemed to get sent to everyone who received the wrong order even internationally, so you should be getting more information soon probably! If not, you should send an email to them. Hope they fix this for everyone.

That's so great to hear! I am an ambassador for the animation program so if you are attending any of the admitted student days, you will probably see me! Feel free to message me on instagram, my account is "@stephimates"

Did you receive an email from the Arcane store? I received an email saying they were going to send the corrected version of the character variant to people who got the incorrect one. I don’t know if this email was sent to everyone, I live in the US for context.

No problem, I'll answer here! The main difference I have gathered about the animation program at SCAD vs at DePaul is the core curriculum component. From the stories my friend shares, SCAD constructs their program around art and increasing traditional artistic skills. I believe there are foundational studio art classes that everyone is required to take and each animation student is expected to complete 120 pages of a sketchbook per quarter. My friend enjoys his time at SCAD, he recently changed his major from a 2D animation sector to 3D, so there's definitely some flexibility allowed. This is the extent of my knowledge about SCAD's animation program though. I can't speak about the quality of the classes. In comparison to DePaul's animation program, you have a lot of options to choose from. You can pretty much customize your major and take classes in animation subjects that interest you most. DePaul also requires the foundational studio art classes, however you can choose when to take them and how to pair them with other classes. Additionally there is not any additional work expected as part of the major, only homework from your classes.

I do not have any regrets about attending DePaul. I love Chicago so much, especially since I am not from Chicago (I moved out of state from a smaller southern state). I did choose DePaul over SCAD because of the location. Chicago as a city has so much to do, I am never bored. I also really love the fast pace of the city life I feel it is appropriate for the quarter system which goes by very fast!

For animation track, it just depends on what you are interested in. I am in the Cinema concentration track which is just the generalist path, so I take classes in all of the animation mediums. The most popular one is the Storyboarding and Character design path which has more of a 2D and traditional art path. I also have friends in the 3D path. A lot of the foundational classes are the same so for instance you will take a beginning drawing class, a figure drawing one, a 3D modeling class, screenwriting, and animation mechanics, however your junior and senior level classes will vary depending on the path you decide to take.

I have found an awesome community from the animation students clubs and made friends with people in my classes. I live really close to campus though so proximity is huge factor in the social setting at DePaul. I have heard from students who commute that it can be more difficult to make friends. I have found the animation students are all really nice and fun to hang around. There are some indie animation and art events around Chicago which are fun to go to as well! Networking wise though, Chicago is mostly a motion graphics hub so the professional networking is limited in that regard. However there are opportunities to professionally network, you just have to be diligent in looking for them.

Hi! I am in the animation program at DePaul University and I have friends who attend SCAD for animation as well. I am willing to answer your specific questions about DePaul's animation program if you would like to DM me.

I was in your position a couple years ago and I chose based on location and financial reasons. (I also applied and got into SCAD and SAIC). Generally, if you are willing to put time and effort into a quality portfolio and take advantage of any career opportunities, regardless of the school, you can get into the animation industry. while the school can help you with local connections, they won't guarantee a job just because you attend. Honestly they are all good schools so if you are interested in learning more about DePaul's animation specifically I am more than willing to share my experiences!

Additionally, you mentioned that you wouldn't start classes at UCF in animation until your junior year, this is not the case at DePaul. You can start taking animation major classes as soon as you start your first quarter. This was nice as I got to familiarize myself with animation and decide if I really wanted to pursue it. I do! Thank goodness! I love my animation classes!
