 As well as giving you professional skills in key areas including 3D character animation, modelling, rigging, motion graphics and look development, this course allows you to explore your own specialism through working as part of a team on industry-led briefs and short films. This course includes an optional work placement year, at no extra cost.

As well as dedicated 3D animation studios, you have access to dedicated life drawing spaces, recording and motion-capture studios, and a fully equipped sound stage including green screen facilities and motion-control cameras.

Graduates can be found in the world’s top studios working on blockbuster movies, television series and games.

3D Character Animation

Develop your skills acquired from the 3D Animation module. There is a reference to character animation in a 3D environment.
You gain a thorough understanding of animated performance using tools that are widely used in the film, television, and gaming industries. You use professional animation workflow, acting theory, anatomical study and observation through video reference to get the best performance from your characters.
You continuously practice animating characters in different situations to develop and improve your skills throughout the module.

3D Animation

You learn how the basic laws of physics are described through the 12 principles of animation and how they are applied to create convincing movement in 3D.

You are introduced to industry-standard 3D software tools and techniques and use supplied character rigs to create a number of short animated sequences.
You complete a series of exercises that are assessed in order to demonstrate your understanding of the principles of animation as applied in 3D.
