Overview
The Computer Animation curriculum is centered on real-world production processes. From storyboarding, sketching, and visual development to modeling, character animation, and final compositing, this Computer Animation curriculum takes you through the entire production pipeline. Our programs start by familiarizing you with the art concepts behind animation, drawing, sculpting, and other traditional forms of expression, which are essential parts of getting your art onto the computer. You will also learn the foundational principles behind computer-generated models, characters, animation, and compositing. Then you will apply those principles when developing films, TV shows, commercials, and games. By using the same hardware and software as professional animation studios, you will gain the skills you will need when you embark on your career. You will also have courses focusing on physical science, mythology, communication skills, and how to prepare yourself for the animation industry.
Objective
