Course General Description

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 a conceptual understanding of performance, narrative, characterisation, form, motion, time, space and aesthetics. The combined degree program provides students with additional practical skills, in particular skills that make them aware of the international contexts of animation design, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire knowledge of a language and culture other than English.
