Course details
The Traineeship programme aims to partner 10 trainees with 10 animation/VFX studios for one full year. Over the course of the programme, the trainee will work in-house in the studio where they will receive on the job training. In addition to on-the-job training, the trainee will receive additional tailored training through Animation Skillnet and Screen Training Ireland.
The curriculum for the year of training is developed in close consultation with industry, and will combine training in core skills for animation/VFX with specialist and studio-specific knowledge and skills.
The traineeship will be pided into two main fields, both of which will be further pided into two training pathways:
1. Animation
- Training Pathway 1: 2D
- Training Pathway 2: 3D
2. VFX
- Training Pathway 1: Compositing
- Training Pathway 2: CG
The programme may also offer a parallel Technical Direction for VFX and Animation pathway, subject to demand.
All pathways will intersect where there are commonalities in terms of training needs, and all trainees across all four tracks will participate in core modules.
The Traineeship programme will commence in March 2015.
A training allowance/bursary will be made available to selected participants.
Participating studios for the pilot programme include:
- Brown Bag Films
- Cartoon Saloon
- Giant Animation
- JAM Media
- Kalaveer
- Piranha Bar
- Screen Scene VFX
- Telegael
- Windmill Lane VFX
