This course offers a practice-based approach to learning animation and places strong emphasis on two key concepts: dramatisation (including performance and character) and VFX (visual effects) design. It teaches students how to conceptualise, visualise and realise animation across many different types of media. Central to the course is the development of conceptual understanding of performance, narrative, characterisation, form, motion, time, space and aesthetics.
This course has a strong emphasis on drawing and image-making, dramatisation, physical movement and expression, teaching a full range of animation techniques and skills in industry-standard facilities.
Through a variety of interdisciplinary subjects, industry-focused projects and international studios, students develop the flexibility and confidence to work in the diverse environments of contemporary practice.
The course focuses on a set of animation studios that concentrate student learning through design projects. The animation studios integrate practice-oriented learning that allows time for a high level of individual presentation and in-depth consultation, complemented by a series of related context subjects that spans drawing and 2D animation practices to 3D and 2D digital practices.
