Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I last came on here, but what qualifications do you need?

It's just that I need to pick my subject options for sixth form and I was gonna pick art, biology, physics and chemistry with my reserve being psychology. Would this do for becoming an animator?

You don't need qualifications for animation, you need talent. If you have this, and you create a showreel when you apply for a job, that should speak volumes.

A good animation or film school will probably help, but it's not like being a doctor, you don't have to go to 8 years of animation school to become an animator.

OK, thanks for the advice.

animation is not so hard to learn, but one very important qualification is patience.

And another qualification is pure genius and luck......sorry that's two

Now where do you find luck?
If only.. If only...

patience my freind

You have to make your own luck Gromits little bro!!

Ahaha as if! I'm as unlucky as Hurley :/
Maybe I should try though.. maybe..

I would try if I were you......just follow your dreams and your luck may change

Try a good university and look at their entry requirements! I've had a quick look at one university that i know does animation and this is their entry requirement

"Students of all ages and all social backgrounds are recruited. Applicants demonstrating commitment to and knowledge of the subject on their application form are invited to a recruitment session, where they will be required to present a collection of their creative work. The emphasis should be on quality rather than quantity and applicants may wish to include samples from a range of disciplines. However, evidence of an interest in Film and Animation studies should be included, demonstrating work composed and framed for a screen or TV format such as evidence of storyboarding and sequencing of narrative. Also required are relevant sketchbooks, a variety of drawing approaches, design and samples of written work."

It has a minimum of 240 tarriff points. This changes from university to university though so you'd have to look at each one. This is of course if you take the university option

It's not about the grades or qualifications, its about talent and most importantly passion!
