Course description:

This highly expressive program will fire students imagination while refining their creativity, wit and ingenuity. Students will receive a thorough grounding in character animation covering animation skills, production techniques and studio hardware, enhanced by study of perspective and life drawing, scriptwriting, concept development, graphic processes, communication, editing and sound production. They will develop the skills to produce original films from script to screen including character animation (both 2D and 3D), concept development, storyboarding, editing, postproduction and sound recording. They will also develop the ability to determine the most appropriate animation format for specific projects - traditional drawn animation, computer animation, 3D puppet animation or other experimental media. Their academic studies will be extended by off-campus studio courses to enable them to gain first-hand experience. In Year 1, they will be introduced to the theoretical and practical aspects of animation as well as key themes of 21st century visual culture. In Years 2 and 3, they will continue the approach established in Year 1 with increased emphasis on the various aspects of animation and studio courses to gain first-hand experience. They will also work alongside Bachelor of Film and Screen Media Production students to complete a community project.
