Question
i would like to ask that as i am doing now A-levels(Cambridge university).can i go to animation field if i do not take mathematics but take physics.please help me out on this topic.

Answer
hi kushal, animators come from many different backgrounds. most do not study mathematics or physics. generally, animators study the process and history of animation, as well as film, art, and the various software used in the industry.

i think a background in physics might give you a very unique perspective that could be helpful in how you animate, as well as if you get involved in upper-level technical aspects of 3d animation.

good luck.
