I'm only form 4 this year but I'm already interested in taking a course in the One Academy after my SPM.

Is the one gallery open to all visitors? What is their opening session? Is it inside the One Academy campus?

To KeithCheeFB :

Oh sure, thanks! Next week is a school holiday, so I think I might as well check it out since I'll be free at that time



To eekang :

Yeah thanks for advising me, but no worries, I won't forget my studies too. I'm just a little ambitious that's all
I've been thinking of going into TOA since form 3! Haha, I even entered the Creative Media Award competition last year so that I could get myself a scholarship, and this year I might too!

Yea haha thanks! How's TOA life? good? just curious.

So, how long does an assignment last? I'm just curious

So DarkSilver, does the 'art sense' really applies or have any impact throughout one's coursework, whether one is working outside or just doing some small work at home?

And well, the way you mentioned about the One Academy's courses in comparison with other colleges & the fact of accentuating artistic sense, you sounded like it was serious.

'TOA sees money opens eyes', wow that's a phrase but do they do this all the time? I heard certain students failed their foundation course and they re-took it again and again, is it true?

Oh yeah, about what you were expecting about TOA, at least it has another 'real' campus in Pinang. But maybe you were more about the base 'campus', right?

Is anyone here going for the Toy Story 3 seminar?

You know, I still can't believe they have a special secondary students-seminar in the klang valley! I can't wait to go there, along with my teacher and bro on the 11th august in Sunway!!

Yeah, it's great that the some of the Pixar's crew come all the way from US to small little country- MY just to give us an awesome talk about their animation!

Well, there are two other talks right? Masterclass and college students' seminar in Bukit Jalil.

Woah, you're only form 4 and already trying out Maya?

I just started touching Photoshop this year! x.x

Lol haha!

Wow, you're probably all that experienced after those years of using photoshop. Still, you're thinking of pursuing an animation career right?

And....what tips can you give to a beginner like me in using photoshop?

Hey, that's a good one.

I notice about all this when I started loving animation... but I guess it will take time for me to do all that, and right now to focus on my studies...

Yeah true, but I wonder... have you tried other form of arts, like typography or something crafty?
I heard that you need to get a little artistic in the foundation years in TOA.

Wow, so back then those classes you took are probably free? I didn't know schools offer those kind of classes...

I guess I'm not that kind of technical person as I didn't really know about photoshop & things like that until form 4.

Mostly what I did was drawing or doing art the way it's done traditionally, but I seriously didn't think about the good stuff about doing it digitally, Layers...hmmm

@Milkshake
Hey, that's a good initiative, so you're interested in gaining some insight knowledge about traditional sculpting and basic arts before venturing into digital sculpting? But I've never heard of individual course involving only art of sculpting unless you're mentioning about taking short courses...

Since some of you guys here drive, does anyone here take public transportation or maybe living nearby?

That means they've changed the syllabus?

Man, I was expecting that DG students get to learn a whole lot of things and not just centered on something like specialisation?
Why did they do that?

Oh ...

but do we still get to be exposed to all production since they might not delve further into it?

Wow, so it's considered good for new intakers?

But still, no one has answered me if they'd actually expose us to all of the fields in animation production, just like other courses in the US?

No why must we be guinea pigs ?

Well, so they'll most likely to consider it into the syllabus once the current batch goes through their 'testing'?

Do they usually do this for other courses too?

Sorry guys if I have led this question out of topic, but may I ask something?

It's been bothering me and a teacher of mine kept advising about holding on to Physics instead of dropping it...

Is it necessary for animators to learn SPM-level physics? I don't really see why strings of equations are needed for animation, of course maybe animation has their own type of 'physics'.

Would you suggest what subjects is appropriate or necessary and which are not? I'm gonna drop Physics AND take up Art, is it okay?

Thanks for reading this!

Could someone please reply?

Thanks for the reply, I guess I can safely tell my teacher that Physics isn't a necessary subs for animation anyway

And...what about maths or add maths? Do you guys use some of those?
