Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Animation) involves the practical exploration, innovation and development of animated screen production. It covers idea development, screenwriting, storyboarding, character design and expression, 2D, 3D, stop-motion, experimentation, motion effects, editing, and the use of sound and music.

You will be challenged to respond to set problems, and pursue your own creative thinking to keep the material fresh and relevant to your own experience.

You will be introduced to the practice of critical self-reflection in the context of wider contemporary arts practices, and have the opportunity to choose breadth subjects from across the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music and the wider University.

You will have access to extensive resources, including sound stages, animation studios, rushes viewing rooms, editing and sound mixing suites, cinemas, professional production equipment and high-definition digital vision and audio postproduction facilities.
