Course details
Animation is one of the most rapidly developing areas of the creative industries, with technology and applications having become so sophisticated that distinct areas have now become thriving sectors. These include 3D animation production, TV commercials, Motion Graphics, Music Videos, 2D and 3D special effects, Games, Mobile Applications as well as contemporary and conceptual productions. This commercial activity has created an insatiable demand for a wide range of animation-based skills, from conceptualisation to development to final production. The Diploma in Animation is a vocational training Programme, focusing on the development of technical skills suitable for entry into Animation related industries, including Film, TV commercial and series, and Web-based production. You will ultimately produce a technical showreel of your work, specifically focusing on the production and integration of animation.
Level 1: Introduction to Visual Arts Level 1 provides a generic foundation of the development of concepts and skills required for visual arts. This includes a variety of basic technical skills in traditional and contemporary techniques, visual analysis and contextual studies. At all stages you are encouraged to experiment and explore methods and practices.
Level 2: 2D/3D Specialisation Level 2 allows you to specialise in either 2D or 3D animation. The two specialisations are defined by technical skills and production methods as identified by industry practices. You will continue to develop over-arching theoretical methods and practical skills such as Acting for Animation, Drawing Classes and Programming. Group projects and professional practices are introduced and emphasis is placed on you developing your visual and verbal communication skills in a specialised field of animation.
Level 3: 2D/3D Specialisation Integrates the learning acquired from the previous levels and encourages the transference of specialist knowledge. You will also propose and embark on a series of self-directed productions. You will also be introduced to Digital Sculpting, Compositing, Advanced Animation Skills and Dialogue. Level 3 also contains the opportunity for Community Engagement and Commercial based projects.
