should i take computer animation or digital photography?
im going to be a junior in highschool next year and i was wondering what i should take. i want to take animation, but my mom wants me to take digital photography. i want to go to film school after highschool and i was wondering if one would be better to take than the other?
I would take digital photography. The technology upon which you’ll be learning computer animation will be obsolete before you know it.
Photography, however is an art that is likely to endure technology evolution, and would therefore be a better use of your time. Good luck!

Walt Disney’s Fantasia: Remastered Original Soundtrack Edition $8.14 It’s hard to believe now that Walt Disney’s bold 1940 impressionistic experiment in wedding then-state-of-the-art animation with classical music was a rather resounding failure upon its release. The cliché proves the rule: Fantasia was decades ahead of its time (Disney even launched a “psychedelic”-themed rerelease campaign in the late ’60s). It’s even harder to fathom that then-Disney management… |

Computer Animation $63.27 Computer animation (or CGI animation) is the art of creating moving images with the use of computers. It is a subfield of computer graphics and animation. Increasingly it is created by means of 3D computer graphics, though 2D computer graphics are still widely used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time rendering needs. Sometimes the target of the animation is the computer itself, but sometimes the target is another medium, such as film. It is also referred to as CGI (computer-generated imagery or computer-generated imaging), especially when used in films. To create the illusion of movement, an image is displayed on the computer screen and repeatedly replaced by a new image that is similar to the previous image, but advanced slightly in the time domain (usually at a rate of 24 or 30 frames/second). This technique is identical to how the illusion of movement is achieved with television and motion pictures. |
