Course Description
The art of making animated films requires a high level of practical skill, draughtsmanship, technical proficiency and a wealth of theoretical knowledge and understanding. This course looks at animation production in a broad and holistic way, providing a thoroughly intensive and team-based experience in which students develop comprehensive expertise in the whole production process. The course strives to offer the closest experience possible to that of the professional animator in industry, within its newly refurbished animation studio. This course has a strong international reputation and has been awarded Skillset Accreditation for the quality of its offering to students and the animation industry. There is also an extraordinary loyalty between undergraduates and alumni. Some may offer recruitment to present students and others choose to come back as visiting tutors. This fosters a genuine feeling of community and a firmly rooted appreciation of how the real animation world operates. You will be encouraged to generate work through different means, be it traditional, computer-based or stop-motion. Whilst computer solutions are taught, all students must first learn the fundamentals by starting with animation through drawing. Whichever path you choose to specialise in, the course aims to provide you with a strong commercially viable portfolio of work which will demonstrate your skills, self-expression and strengths.
