The Art Institute of Portland Question?

[levante 0]

Since i'm not from the states and don't know the schools you've been asking about, i can only give you one general advice:

Don't just learn a certain software - instead study the principles of design, animation, dramaturgy and photography and learn to transfer your knowledge to whatever tool does the job.

 

Software changes rapidly and sometimes just vanishes (Shake, Freehand, Commotion, Combustion, FinalCut Pro... you name it) contrary to the basics of design, framing, storytelling, typography etc.
