Life as an RMIT Animation Student 2024

In this video I talk about my experiences from my first year in the RMIT animation course. I break down what is being taught and my thoughts on the course. If your looking for animation schools specifically in australia, RMIT might be for you :D feel free to comment questions you may have about the course and I'll do my best to answer

like comment and subscribe and stuff that would be so hilarious and silly and goated of you to do tee hee :3

Yes! As an RMIT Design ✨A✨L✨U✨M✨N✨I ✨ your experience seems pretty consistent with mine. It's funny because in creative fields pretty much all the skills can be learnt online, the biggest thing the course teaches you is the discipline to *actually* learn the stuff as well as how to work with deadlines. In our course they were very big on the fact that they're "teaching us to teach ourselves" how to do things, which is probably accurate.
Also, I'm biased but my advice for people doing 3D is learn Cinema 4D and demand that the teacher let you use that instead of Maya. They won't be able to help you as much but the program is easier to learn and probably more applicable for the project application. There's so much online to help as well. Also, Cinema 4D has direct After Effects integration which makes things easier for video.

This video is so underrated like what?? I’m not going into animation but I still found this rlly interesting :)

The end bit about stop-motion was so real ngl

[WaltDisini]

just thought I'd let you know that a lotta this year's animation first years have found this vid, and we all adore it. Theres so many spoilers for Semester 2, but oh well

This is a cute video. I'm an RMIT animation alumni myself (graduated in 2012, I know, I'm old lol) and while I never became a pro animator, I've no regrets. I utilise a lot of the skill set I developed from those days in my day-job as a freelance video editor and in my spare time drawing comics. Best of luck with the rest of your time and hopefully you don't have a massive anxiety in the middle of producing your 3rd year thesis film like I did :^P

OMG UR VIDEO IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR!!
Im looking for Animating schools in Australia for immigrating and RMIT looks like one of the most likable choice!
Really hope to see more from you, thanks for making this vid!! <3

[sientoes]

I'm not an RMIT student or even an animation student but I was considering it in highschool before I was set on science, so its really interesting to get insight from a student's perspective on what the course is like, especially from Aus

[chopstickingstylus]

hi leii, as a college student from singapore who has no plans on taking animation as a career, this was really helpful!

(but really your videos are really charming and im rooting for your success for whatever you want to do!)

[spot-oncheese]

Man this is quite informative! I’m in my final year of nz high school (and full of dread) and have been considering school options in Aussie. Rarely ever see videos talking about student life at the schools there, so this was a neat find :D

[arun-igbx]

this video is super epic good :D !!!! :O
As an artist, this video had some AMAZING insights and I like your vibes, entertaining and helpful :3
But also, as an engineering student, (whatever that means), ...it's spicy haha :p
But I enjoy it ^-^ It's basically all math, physics, programming, building, etc. within a certain science niche (mine's electronics + circuits :] ) but there's also chemistry, mechanical (physical stuff), and some others. Almost went architectural, which is the closest curriculum to an art student + engineering stuffs (i hear its pretty spice) but I'm happy just being eng + artist :D
AWESOME

Holy moly this video is so cool and DESERVES Wayyy more views than it Im still a little confused on how uni works on a step by step bassis rn, but thank you so much for giving some extra insight oh how rmit works this will be very effective when I try to finesse all of the teachers for their jucy animation knowledge hehehe >:]

[pegendary]

Loved this video!!! I’m at RMIT too (comm design) and whenever I walk past the animation studio rooms their classes and work looks cool. Plus the vibes look way more chill

[Carritube]

I love this, lmao, I feel your pain with 3D, its kicking my butt
