Drawing is at the heart of animation – a series of drawing sessions will improve your observational and design skills, with sketchbooks used to research and record your understanding of character design and cinematic storytelling. You will learn how to animate objects using traditional and contemporary animation techniques working with industry-standard equipment in our dedicated animation studios.
You will work individually as well as in small groups to gain an understanding of the complex and specialist roles of the animation production crew as a collaborative process. You will also explore storyboarding, script writing and pitching film ideas before beginning work on your own short animated film.
