Hello to one and all. i am new to this forum, 
Since a year am planning to study abroad, but very much confused where to go,
i want to study Animation, just for a quick over view about my expectation
i want to learn Animation and then specialize in VFX, i have a little idea about animation and can also draw , am expert in PS, my aim is to become a VFX director, and for that working hard , well that’s the later part for now am confused from where to start and how to start.
i have done BMM (Bachelors of Mass Media) with specializing in Advertising.
i have also shortlisted few School/colleges to opt for but the fee play’s and IMP role and more on that am not sure if that is the right college i should get in there. just because of good ad of animation institute or reading some review’s i can’t apply for a school or college until i hear a right word of mouth, i just gave an example of what we see is not always right. and that’s why i get confused in choosing School/College. i have shortlisted few of them kindly have a look on them and give your valuable comments,
