welcome to SM!
what were you looking to animate?
a good start to doing it would be to draw up a story board then you can figure out what sort of things you'll need. when you say 'it's basically a game' what do you mean...? are you saying you want to film it in a game engine? or are you wanting to render off a whole lot of stuff to composite in after effects?
as for points, you get points by buying them as explained in the sticky thread above
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D
