I'm a 20-something British animator based in Halifax, NS. I've been animating since I first found Newgrounds, and am now a graduate with an Animation degree. I've worked for Sun and Moon Studios, A Productions and the BBC, and I hope to do a lot more!

I'm currently taking Media Studies in college, and it actually isn't that bad. Were currently filming the opening scene of a thriller which basically translates into me and a few mates goofing around and filming us engaged in topics of conversation like abortion and the film American Beauty. After that we'll quickly throw together a shot idea and have a laugh filming it.
I know a few people who took Graphics in senior school, and i think most of them enjoyed it. The work-load is hefty mind. Music i can't comment on. I always sucked at it and spend most of the lessons i had (before i dropped it) pissing about trying to play instruments.
I wouldn't worry about these subjects having too great an effect on the rest of your life (although it's cool to see you planning and what not). College is where all of that really starts to kick off.

Thanks for the tips. I gotta say that I got 2 replies from some of the animation companies, and they all recommended Art and Maths (Maths is compulsory, I don't have to worry about that), so the Top 3 Options that I picked were Art, Music and Media Studies, with Graphics being 4th.
