This is true. I'm taking Computer Graphics courses at Purdue, and one of my foundation classes is a sketching class. Storyboards will be a huge part of it later on.

Try starting your animation team with a few other members. Don't overcrowd it because you really don't need a lot of members to create an animation. Three is a good number. Make sure these guys are as dedicated as you are and that they won't cop out 3 weeks in.

Other than that, tell a story that is educational yet imaginative. Make it unique and make it stand out because those are the animations that win awards and that people remember.
