What Talent Needed

[viva]

I have dream to be animator in Disney Pictures (silly dream of kid like me)... I guess almost every person who want to be animator wants to work there, so competition is intense.... And I think all the time if I should ever try to reach this or I shouldn't... Would my so called "talent" be enough for that or not? I am only 15 years old but I don't know If I can reach level of pro x_x
So how can I get to know if my talent is enough and try to reach the dream, or if I just should drop this idea??

Never drop ur dream! If you you truely belive that you can do it then you will. I don't know alot about that kind of stuff. But I do have a second cusin thats into animation and cartoons and his work has recently been published. What I would seggest, is start small, Since your only 15 (thats my age as well), start drawing, write your ideas down, look for classes, or summer camps for that Kind of thing, then major it in collage, then by the time you graguate, you'll be more then qualified!

Definetly follow the above suggestions! Like my family's ancient (like 200 years) saying. "Qualunque cosa tu metti la tua mente ti può raggiungere." Whatever you put your mind to you can achieve. If you dream it you can do it. Just practice drawing, maybe practice a few ideas with friends being your models and learn how to use the programs they've developed. And when you go to college you should do the CP if only to admire the other work and get inspriation for later. If we go near the same time, and I end up being a character like I hope I'll be an action model for you Just work hard and never give up.

never give up on a dream! if you want to become an animator or an artist of any kind, follow the advice of charles schulz and "draw every day" - charles schulz created the peanuts comic strip! you've got to draw every single day and become the very best artist you possibly can be! create the images and put together a portfolio of your animation! once you get really good at drawing, try animating your drawings the way they do at disney by drawing the frames of the animation and then uploading them to your computer with a scanner where you can set them in motion in a movie program like windows movie maker or imovie!

if at first you don't succeed or you think your drawings or animation suck, don't be discouraged! it takes a thousand failures for one great success and if at first you don't succeed, try TRY again!!!
