I think you might want to set your sights a little lower, like maybe a fan-fiction or something...
Why on earth would I make a fan fic, when I can make a CGI movie? I have take courses on 3d animation, 3d computer design, 2d animation, and computer programming (Python language, which is the core language of blender, the software I use). I am doing most of the technical work, but I am not alone.

Being 15 years old plays absolutely no factor in whether or not I will be able to make a movie. I am not claiming that my movie will be as good as Advent children, but lets face the facts: Square is not making a FFVIII movie, So I might as well do it. True, the movie will take some time, as all do, but it will be worth the wait.

Update: My friend (The only animator that I have actually met in person) is working on two short film tie-ins. Sorry, but his computer is offline. He just uses it for animation. If I can get my USB drive of to his house soon, then I can transport and upload some rough models of the main characters in his story some time this week.

For reference: The first part of the animation process is to create models of characters and props (Swords, guns, etc.). Then you 'rig' them with bones, and connect the bones to their proper surroundings. Then you add skin, and textures. Then you add environments, then animate the characters. Then add lights in their proper places, and move the camera to it proper spot for each scene.

Why am I telling you this? Well, I just thought it would be nice for you all to know why I will only be able to upload pictures of characters for a while. Remember: I'm still just planning, so If you have any original characters designs, feel free to post them.
