Canada...That's viable right?

Well I have been hankering after working in Canada for a while now, they have such a great atmosphere there and scene for arts and have always been at the forefront of animation. I have looked into a couple of schools there as I feel my skills could greatly benefit from a whole school focused on animation and full of passionate and hardworking people who want the same as me. I have looked into VanArts and Vancouver Film School, hooooowever...they come at with fairly hefty price tag. Just a one year course can cost as much as £20,000 o_O I know I know it's a ton of money but I can dream can't I?


I posted an animation on here, just before Christmas I believe, that I really liked the style of and so I did some diggin'! It was called 'Ormie' and produced by a company called ArcProductions, who are based in Toronto Canada and specialise in CG animations and special effects. They have worked on animated features such as Gnomeo and Juliet, 9 and Hoodwinked. If you head over to their website and view their reel, it'll give you a better idea of what kind of work I like, including their stories and animations styles. It really inspires me to work harder and up my game, with a view to moving there in the years to come. This would be towards the end of my action plan, as it is kind of my life goal for now to work in Canada.
