@@monjishroy9236 you can get in even without an animation degree. In the end, it’s about the quality of your portfolio. Though I don’t think you could get in with 0 animation experience. The school had cases of people getting accepted with no degree but 5 years of experience in the animation industry, for example. I would email Gobelins directly if you are not sure. (This is all stuff I learned with the teacher that helped me apply)
Thank you for sharing this information! It helps tremendously. Does Gobelins require applicants to take a french speaking test as part of the application process? I thought I saw this in their requirements and wasn't sure if it is no longer relevant.
@@aesthetical_claire4150 The master course is in English. If you are an international student you will get accepted into an international class. But French is VERY helpful in day to day Paris life. Your doctor or social security agent or visa person will most most likely not speak English
Im still young right now and asian, but if i ever get the chance to move out of my country and apply... i WILL try since 2d animation is my passion ^-^
Hi! I have a question - What age did you start attending art schools? Have you went to a normal school before or directly attended art specialized education since five?
I went to a normal elementary school and then with the encouragement from my parents I switched to an art school at 10. Though it took me a while to take improving my art seriously. I am very grateful my parents supported me so early.
Hi loafey! Thank you for such a helpful video! in Minute 11:59 you mentioned showing an ID, what type of ID are they wanting the applicant to show? (passport, driver's license, birth certificate, etc?)
I was in the same course and had a bad experience. There was no communication between administration and teachers, some teachers did not do their jobs. A lot of the time we were expected to know something we didn’t learn. When I was there 2020-2022, the school was going through changes in directors changed often and it was chaotic. We didn’t even get the diploma we signed up for because LISAA lost the right to give it. Although I heard it’s getting better now, I would personally not risk applying to a school that’s going thought changes now. I encourage you to do more of your own research of course! Good luck!
Hello ❤️ I have a question if you have time to answer 🙏 Can I use again one animation for the portfolio? I applied last year and unfortunately, I didn't pass, but in last year's portfolio I had one animation I wish to put again in my portfolio. Do you think I can do this or I shouldn't? I would really appreciate your help 🙏
I don’t see why not. There is no rule you can’t put old things as far as I am aware. Just remember that it’s important to show a consistant quality in a portfolio, quality over quantity.
at the moment im an armature artist, really striving to become an animator and a damn good one at that. I dont think i could ever afford these courses and being honest i have a long journey to reach that level. Im a culinary chef at the moment and with life at the moment its delayed me a bit but i do believe in becoming an amazing artist i just never knew where to start. Thanks to this video it gives me a sight on where to go. I dont plan on applying to gobelins or maybe i dont really care, but what i do care about applying those artist standard to myself. I also wanna add how this video guided me. I fucked up art college, too much partying and being lazy so got suspended and never came back, just went to the culinary industry straight through. ive put my ambitions on standby with the idea that ill teach myself just like the ogs. I felt lost and didnt know where to start again, i do wanna go back to school but i dont got the bills atm and when you hit 23 time just feels different faster like you gotta do something. so i just practice and study everything online through pdf books to videos. to videos on how to read those books. I felt like they helped me improved but not the the extent i want. Even after watching those videos on how to become the artist, how to get it good, how to believe in one self, i still felt lost not through ambition but direction. I recently quit my job, i've grown and gain a love of art and its study. I want this. The job was good to me but i just want to tell my stories and jokes, i was always iching to draw and it bothered me constantly that i wasent behind a pen and paper expressing my dumb shit out there. After leaving and dealing with the unlimited free time one can get lose very easily. I manage to build an idea and improve my skill while at it. Now what, i felt so lost and dumb. I started to respond by just doing things i thought would help me reach a goal, get a expensive laptop, a drawing tablet, make a small cartoon, enter art courses and still i felt lost. That until i saw your video, it shows what i gotta do, after all these 250+ videos on a tutorial playlist, it took just this one to get me on track. So you should be happy that you made this video, it goes further than just a gobelins video, its very helpful in its own way, ive never had trouble with people or selling myself but i always had trouble on proving myself through my works in art. I know i have the skill but i always believed i never had the true skills to prove myself that was myself doubt, my work. It also shows in a weird way, human well to me. there are people out there like me and this video is showed me its ok to be in my position that as long as im working for it, theres still hope and achievement. thank you
Aaah just found out about this video yesterday!! Thank you so much, really a hidden gem ✨ I can't wait for your upcoming videos !! It’s so interesting to watch :D
A few months ago I saw this video and watched a bit of it not thinking and didn't think too much about it, I was just curious on what Gobelins was. Now I'm planning to apply next year to the school and remembered this video exists. Thank you so much!
Thanks for making this! I'm a UCF student applying to their B.A animation program and I know afterwards I want to attempt applying to the masters program at Gobelins. So I'm trying to figure ojt exactly what I want from Gobelins so I can include it in my BA application letter
The international masters is in English, all teachers speak English but not all are perfectly fluent. Knowing basic French would be very helpful in day-to-day life in Paris like going to the doctor, speaking with social security and such. If you need to email or call any place most likely they will not speak English.
Its 11:00 pm, I am a psychology major, with no way of attending art school however the video was entertaining and I dont know why, I watched until the end with my full attention. 😂
Здравствуйте! Ничего страшного, что я пишу на русском? Надеюсь, что нет... Возможно ли поступить в Gobelins, не зная французский и/или английский на "идеально"? Какие рамки там есть для тех, кто создаёт свой мультфильм? Мультфильм должен быть строго либо на французском, либо на английском или там нет подобных рамок? Мне просто хочется создать студию, которая будет популяризировать латышскую культуру и в особенности латышский язык (čau no Latvijas!), поэтому мне хочется знать заранее как можно больше (хотя я девятый класс закончу только в следующем году...). Надеюсь, что мой комментарий не звучит странно. Прошу прощения, если так и есть - я ни разу не писала подобных комментариев раньше. Заранее большое спасибо за ответ! Хорошего дня :3с
Hi. Sorry, I prefer English so you might need to use Google Translate. You need a pretty good level of English to work in a team and with teachers properly. You don't need French in class but it is very helpful to have a basic skill. You need a good basic knowledge of French to live in France comfortably while you study.
Ви оплатили навчання повністю чи скористалися однією з програм допомоги? Я уже кілька років знаю про цей університет і дуже хотіла би там навчатися, але ціна за програму настільки висока для мене, що я ніяк не потягну це, але боюся що поки підіймуся по кар'єрні драбині до зарплати, якої буде достатьньо, то вже буде пізно (мені зараз 22, не впевнена чи багато поступаючих у віці 25+)
Hi sorry for sending you this since it’s late, but I just started doing art now and I’m 19 and I plan to apply to this school in the prepatory year in the near future but I heard about the age limit and I felt very discouraged that I might not even make it at a certain age, so I wanted to ask if it’s still possible to apply if I were to apply at the school in my twenties?
I’ve heard that there is no age limit really. I have classmates in their thirties. But I don’t know if that’s the case for the prepa. The best thing you can do to be sure is email the school.
@@loafkey oh wow I didnt expect you to reply. One more question, even if I don’t make it into the prepa since I’m not highschool age would I be able to apply for bachelor and make my way up into masters?and thank you for answering my question.
Congrats on getting in! Not aiming for an art school I’m just a lost soul who loves drawing, but this is very motivating! As someone who sees the future as a very scary thing, you’ve motivated me to see the hope and good side of it. Thank you for this video!!
❗Hi Sofia, please respond! 🙏 Do you need to have completed a bachelor's degree to be able to apply for a master's degree? Or can I directly apply with the experience I have?
I’ve heard both things, it depends on the person’s case so you should email the school telling what kind of experience you have. For example, you don’t need to show a bachelors degree if you have some years of experience working for h to w animation industry. In the end, your experience will be seen by your portfolio.
Hola Sofía! Buen video, Tengo dos preguntas porfavor 🙏 1. ¿Cuánto es la mensualidad (mes) a pagar en gobelins para Bachelor y luego para Masters ? 2. ¿Como uno puede obtener una Beca para estudiar gratis ? :'
Thank you so much for such a detailed video covering ALL the important aspects of the application process. It helped me deal with my anxiety about approaching Gobelins. Your video has the quality to put things at ease.
Incredible how you finished highschool at 16 and I at 16 will be in 2nd grade heheh. thanks for the video, but I also have a question, does going 5 years to art highschool to an intermedia animation class count to get you straight to the masters?
Hi Loafkey? I animating your characters in Crazy war. With everyone's characters saving multiverse too Loafkey, with tankman and pico from newgrounds. Evil purple things killing them. Those evil purple invasion are super strong, and very powerful too. And blood everywhere. :'(
@@loafkey Loafkey, it is quite a bun-ny pun xD and as someone who is starting on his art & animation dream later in life (at 29, yikes) I am so stoked for you and might be living through you vicariously while also competing (in my head😋). Rooting for ya 😁✌🤘
Hi Sofiia. 👋 CAAF2020 graduate here (I worked on Coffin if you're curious). I think it's important to mention that there are 2 Gobelins programs for character animation: CAAF (international classes in english) and CRFA (in french). When I was a student, there was no Bachelor for CAAF (only Master), each program had roughtly 25 places, and both programs would mix during the 2nd year of Master while working on the graduation film. Which means by that time it was easier for an international student to get accepted for the Master program than for a French one since most French Bachelors went straight to Master in CRFA (filling most of the space), while international bachelors had 25 vacant places to fill in CAAF. With the 2022 reform, not only Bachelor got an extra year overall, but it also got included in the CAAF program, making the field more even when applying for a Master. And I believe now both programs also get mixed at the end of Bachelor while working on the VFX and Annecy shorts. Other than that I think you perfectly described the application process for Gobelins (yeah, the motivation video was terrifying if you do the recording alone, thankfully the interview was MUCH more relaxed and casual). In CAAF in perticuliar, there'll be people with different backgrounds (cultural and professional), most (well, pretty much all) will have an imposter syndrome, but they usually will be pretty open and friendly. Good luck Sofiia with your graduation film, and good luck for anyone interested in attending Gobelins. It's a big school but you'll never know until you apply for it. 🙂
Thanks for pointing these things out! Since I only just joined, I didn't know much about how Gobelins worked before so this is very insightful ^^ Good luck to us all, indeed.
@@ThatGrayCartoonPony Oh thank you very much! Then I will have to learn English. By the way, is it possible to get a scholarship in my degree? because for me it is a very high cost
