Edit : important to notice : I was already a student in Gobelins the 3 last years, I did the bachelor there !
I made a post about the Gobelins current situation in the ''cominity'' part of my RU-vid channel.
This is the portfolio I joined with my application for the master degree enterance exams. I went to the oral, but I was in the end rejected (not on the waiting list). The video is supposed to be 2 min with a graphic portfolio with less then 2sec slides. I was already in the school for the bachelor, that’s why you can see the walk cycles etc…
They told me I did not have enough personnality shown through the demo, and lacked of vis dev/storytelling skills + I would need to work for some time before trying again.
Also they said they couldn't wait to see what I will do in the future cause I was very promising. But the school said the opposite when I asked about my rejection (not on the waiting list)
I had to censor a part cause the short i did my intership on is not realised yet.
Hope it can help you, feel free to ask anything 🤗
you can find me on instagram : @celia.berland

Thanks for reading ☺️
Edit : For those who believe it's because I used pre existing models /characters for my animations that I wasn't taken, you have to know that for all the exercises I did during the 3 years I studied in Gobelins it was * compulsory * to use preexisting model sheets, it is part of the exercises they give us. If you look on the internet for Gobelins students exercices and démo reels you will find out we all use preexisting characters. these are not * fanarts * it's like, the closest thing you can find from professional work , cause in the industry no one will ask you for your style. They will ask you to follow the models the chara designer did, and it is very important for an animator to know how to do that. (I already worked on the industry btw and I can speak about that).
for these exercises I did in Gobelins they gave me grades like : 16, 17, 18, 19 out of 20.
Also, all my classmates who were taken for the masters had also a lots of characters not from them in their demo reels. So I don't think this is the reason of my rejection. actually I believe (and my teachers also confirmed) that my rejection was based on personal reasons, because I'm bothering the school (or more like several people in the administration) *politically*. You can search in the comments for more details.
For the people interested in my portfolio to enter the school in first year bachelor 3 YEARS AGO :
www.tumblr.com...
Edit : I noted the questions they asked :
- introduce yourself
- what type of storytelling do you like
- how would you manage problems in a group project
- what is important so a project go well
- would you like to work on other people's projects
- would you like to work with international people
- was your change of class (french to international) intentional
- what would you like to lean during the masters
- is ur jacket a reference to hunter X Hunter (?wtf)
- do you have any questions to ask us.
ps : u can find the presentation video with me speaking facecam on my YT chanel

Gobellins is one of those schools whose standards are unbelievably high

@disasteriz3766 Год назад

Its getting higher every year, this is better than a lot of accepted portfolios i've seen the previous years :/...

@realyoyoweb Год назад

I am a professionnal 3D artist who didn't study in such a big art school and I feel a bit worried about this. I guess the level is so high because of the amount of competitors in this field. I mean, even if i recognize the value of exellence, you don't need to reach perfection to do art, this level is more that enough ! A bunch of dudes and me have created a team alongside our respective work for our video game project and we are having great fun ! We are not ubisoft but we have nothing to be ashamed of. We are super creative and learn a lot. What modern society and its meritocratic liberalism demand from us is crushing the essence of art. It is scary to me

@jadesolayray Год назад

After looking at other portfolios I have come to the conclusion that the school might have realized they don’t have much to teach you, I’ve always had a passion for animated works, both from professionals and self taught, and I can say for a fact your work is fantastic. You’ve got a good sense of weight in your animations movements, you clearly understand that smoother animation (aka, having more frames) is not necessary in every instance of movement, your turnarounds are incredibly consistent, and your concept sheets are great! My only criticism is that there not much here to suggest you can adapt to other art styles, an important part of being a professional animator is having the ability to adapt to the styles being used for the animated projects your applying to, many of the animations shown here, while diverse, fall into very similar styles of art, furthermore, most of the humans fall into similar body types, my advice would be to practice different body shapes and styles that fall outside your comfort zone. You’re doing a wonderful job, keep going!

@celiaberland37 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for your review ! It's precisely what they criticized, the fact that they could definitely see I was able to adapt to other art styles (some of my exercises were done with a preexisting model sheet , aka the human walk cycle, the animation sequence with moomins and the nana lypsinc). Tho they said I didn't show any personal style 🗿 . Also it's quite confirmed they didn't take me for personal reasons cause I made a teacher that they liked fired by saying what he did..... You can see the whole story on my Instagram account on the highlights. I made a long comic about this story :) The teachers were supportive of my case, they didn't understand . The person who judge me at the oral has no art knowledge or animation experience. I got a administration person at my oral. (Which is also the reason why generally speaking , the selection is so random)

@celiaberland37 7 месяцев назад

The problem is that people believe that the selection is done by people who know about animation, and it is not the case all the time . I know I was a student there during 3 years

Thank you for sharing the reel and the feedback you received for it, it is very informative in seeing the level such schools require for their students upon entry.

@celiaberland37 Год назад

I know it is a bit stupid but you shouldn't consider this reel like something you should'' do better'' to enter. I think on a really technical aspect you can have less skills and be chosen by the examinators... They admit that they do it more about the personality than skills when it come to the oral and that they don't follow the point sheets .... 😅 they just like or not like u... it is really random. Also some of your jury they don't draw, and the others can not have links with Gobelins. Depends on your jury.... you have to be luck to be interviewed by the actual masters animation teachers who will judge you for your skills....😅 I said it in more details in another answer (and what is following is copy paseted from another answer hahah ) but I think the personally hated me for being too outspoken about feminism/sexism in animation and I told them they were not good in having some gross teacher who did bad stuff u know ... they loved him tho cause famous 😩 I also did some presentation and organized some sensibilisation debates with directors around these themes in the school....they probably were enough of that 😑

I "talked too much " during the oral exam 😅 Basically they just didn't like my face. Cause they said : we don't really respect anything with points and all, we think we can distinguish someone who will be good worker than someone who will be bad. .... By talking with him for 20 min. (Coming from a woman who didn't draw btw, who was my jury). It's really disapoiting cause I had friends who wanted to work with me for the grad movie and apparently everyone is satisfied with my skills and I don't think I would have been a catastrophy to work with 😅. But well they SAW it though me .... So they must be right. ... I think the real reason of my rejection lies in the fact I didn't accept sexism at school and I told them about gross behavior of some people they liked....

You did such a good job capturing classic animated movies too, like the last unicorn or the hobbit with the effects you used, masterful.

I went to a competitive undergraduate program for painting and printmaking, and they straight up told us not to apply there for a masters and to go out and apply to other schools to find different critique, insights, and environments to create in. Maybe go for another school if you can. They might be able to teach you something Gobelins didn't.

As an animator I can say your works are really good. But maybe more essential works with Time charts for the plasticity of the animation could help you. Right now, I believe your are more than fit for an assistant, but maybe improve on the spaces and Times can be the new path that your animation needs.

Hi, I just came across this video. Thank you for sharing your reel and your video presentation. Do you think there's any possibility that they didn't admit you because you were applying for the international master's program?(i'm guessing you are french if not sorry for assuming) I've seen some other reels from accepted applicants, and I don't want to be mean or anything, but some of those reels were lacking in quality, compared to yours, at least. Yet, they were still accepted.

@celiaberland37 Год назад

Hello ! No I don't think so, cause there is a french class too and I have a very acceptable level in English (with two English speaking boyfriends hahaha) also I was in the international class in bachelor already. And there was not enough french students from the bachelor who wanted to go to the master to fill an entire class :v I said it in more details in another answer but I think the personally hated me for being too outspoken about feminism/sexism in animation and I told them they were not good in having some gross teacher who did bad stuff u know ... they loved him tho cause famous 😩 I also did some presentation and organized some sensibilisation debates with directors around these themes in the school....they probably were enough of that 😑

@user-ne2bb5nh7t 10 месяцев назад

Based on your edit, it's clear that you can't take criticism very well. A quarter of your reel is other IPs which means that these pieces don't show who you are as an artist or how you develop characters and worlds. While you show this in later pieces, the fact remains that it puts you behind in these aspects which is reinforced because you were then told what your portfolio lacked. Even though in the industry you are often working off of a specific model or design, studios still want to see your flexibility and creativity as an artist. You weren't required to include these pieces in your reel, because many other accepted reels do not have copyrighted characters in them.

@celiaberland37 10 месяцев назад

Please inform yourself about Gobelins before criticizing . The character are copywrited because during lessons it is REQUIRED to have copywrited characters. You are criticizing Gobelins not me then. The reel you seen were not from people already in the school like me. Gobelins is an applied art school, a technical one . We don't do experimental . I've been studying there for 3 years. Some people I know who got into the masters don't even do design, they just do animation. The movies in the end are done by teams and are no autor movies done alone. If you are interested in my case, they check my comic I did on my Instagram highlights. I guess you were accepted in Gobelins or you are a professional of the animation world to criticize so harshly the work I spent all my time doing for 3 years. Humm no one except someone with a big ego would criticize the work of a student this way. You must be really skilled

@celiaberland37 Год назад

As the rejection was suspicious I suspect it's because I was not accepting certain gross behavior coming from a teacher they loved (cause famous) long story. I think they don't really like being criticized ... This school. Tho a lot of students are unhappy and disappointed. Especially recent years with the new classes. Not enough teachers , no money.... And also administration treating students like s***. It's still gives u a level... But mostly cause u surrounded with talented students.

@bolng8958 Год назад

youre extremely talented and your hard work shows. I know colleges dont want to see fan art, that is probably a big part of the rejection based on what you said.

@celiaberland37 Год назад

Hello , 😊 thank you very much ♥️ Otherwise I added an edit in the description to explain why I don't believe I was rejected for this reasons : you have to know that for all the exercises I did during the 3 years I studied in Gobelins (cause I already sttudied there for 3 years ) it was * compulsory * to use preexisting model sheets, it is part of the exercises they give us. If you look on the internet for Gobelins students exercices and demo reels you will find out we all use preexisting characters. these are not * fanarts * it's like, the closest thing you can find from professional work , cause in the industry no one will ask you for your style. They will ask you to follow the models the chara designer did, and it is very important for an animator to know how to do that. (I already worked on the industry btw and I can speak about that). It's also important in group projects, cause you have to animate in the style of someone else. for these exercises I did in Gobelins they gave me grades like : 16, 17, 18, 19 out of 20. Also, all my classmates who were taken for the masters had also a lots of characters not from them in their demo reels. So I don't think this is the reason of my rejection. actually I believe (and my teachers also confirmed) that my rejection was based on personal reasons, because I'm bothering the school *politically*. You can search in the comments for more details.

@celiaberland37 Год назад

Hello I'm really sorry :( I honestly think it's really random cause they don't take people that are really suited to choose. I think they do with the feeling more than with skills, and if they don't like ur face it's bad.... Anyway, as the people who try are all extra skilled, they San take anyone who was selected for the oral , it will be talented people. So why bother doing a real selection 🫠. I noted the questions : - introduce yourself - what type of storytelling do you like - how would you manage problems in a group project - what is important so a project go well - would you like to work on other people's projects - would you like to work with international people - was your change of class (french to international) intentional - what would you like to lean during the masters - is ur jacket a reference to hunter X Hunter (?wtf) - do you have any questions to ask us. Also they said they couldn't wait to see what I will do in the future cause I was very promising. But the school said the opposite when I asked about my rejection (not on the waiting list)

@PolarBear-rc4ks Год назад

I think I can see what they meant by "lack of personality". Some characters have rather flat expressions, though beautifully drawn, and the proportions of your characters are quite similar. Play around with oddly shaped characters. Maybe you could focus on experimenting with facial expressions, and being more expressive in general. It really is lovely work, but I would love to see you experiment with working looser and focus on the bare bones of expressing emotions in your characters. This is not meant to offend you, but simply some advice. I hope you succeed in your future endeavours, and have a lovely year xxx
