AdmissionsRequirementsProspective students must have proof of a high school diploma or equivalent. If an applicant is under 18, he or she must provide written consent of a parent or guardian. Applicants need not have any previous animation experience, but a strong desire to become a professional computer animator is necessary. Applicants should also possess common computer and Internet usage skills. All prospective students will be interviewed in person or by telephone by a DAVE School instructor or admissions specialist. That interview is meant to assess the applicant's personal goals to determine if he or she will benefit from attending the DAVE School. The DAVE School is a private school, and as such, reserves the right to be selective in its choice of students for enrollment. Because of our very unique curriculum, the DAVE School rarely grants advanced standing or credit for previous training or education. Advance Standing and transfer of credit is evaluated on a case by case basis. Those interested should schedule a meeting with the School Director as soon as possible. |
Application ProcessTo be considered
for admission to The DAVE School you first must fill out our
application. That application should be e-mailed
to: admissions@daveschool.com or sent in by traditional mail. Those submitting "evidence of creativity should do so at this time. We do not have an illustration or traditional art prerequisite. While those are valuable skills that you will find useful, we believe that 3D modeling and animation is a completely unique art form. In fact, we place equal value on experience in filmmaking, sculpture, theater, web-design, stagecraft, acting, painting, writing, music, programming, lighting, model building, crafts, or just about any creative endeavor. Ultimately we are seeking students who are creative by nature, not intimidated by computers, and driven to excellence. If that is you, we can teach you everything else.
