How does one do CGI animation, such as in Final Fantasy?

Question

I really love how like in Final Fantasy 7, and Advent Children, they used animation, yet it look so highly realistic and flawless. What kind of person works on that? Is it animators, or some other kind of field? I've heard of CGI programmers, but how does one become that?

What degree in college could you do that could relate to that? I looked at a few colleges, but most of the animation schools, like Ringling, focus more on cartoon-realism if that makes sense :p

Sorry it that sounds confusing! But I'm seriously confused about this field, so any help is very appreciated :p

Answer 1

i believe you need artistic skills and computer animation skills to make videos like that.

So you can just go to colleges like ITT Tech or jsut ask tehm online.  

Answer 2

i wanted to study the same thing in college,i was so fascinated by them like u r.and i wanted to study a major in college that will let me create some thing like that.and i found out that the college degree name is game programming and development.but for my bad luck it costs a lot of money which was not in my reach.so i had to settle in studying some thing more affordable to me which was very far from my dream degree,now i am studying a business degree in college.

good luck to u and i hope u achieve ur dreams.
