• Answer:

  If changing schools is not an option, and your school has an art or communications department that offers classes in graphic design applications such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash or video editing, enroll in a few of those. It's the long way around, but those apps are usually the foundation before 3D and broadcast design apps. What you really need to do is get yourself into a school in California, USA that offers full bachelor's degrees in the field. There is also a cluster of schools in Vancouver BC, Canada. If you are in Europe, the University of Brighton offers excellent programs as well. France has notable programs as well. If you are in Asia, I imagine Japan is full of cutting edge computer animation study programs.
