Why dont you wanna go to university. Dont expect to take a couple of 4 week course's and jump straight into the industery.

Escape Studios wouldn't be bad (despite the cost) but if i were going down the education route, i would invest in the university time.

Me, i'm planning on doing some a 1yr traditional animation course then maybe a traditional art course/fine art degree and finally a BA or MA at Bournemout Uni.
