You prepare, write and make your own short animation ready for festival release. You learn how to write and pitch your film script to industry professionals and funding bodies, spend time learning how to deconstruct animation against several theoretical and critical frameworks as well having the opportunity to experiment with animated form.
Course overview
The course also covers animation techniques and principles of animation and performance, suitable if you are looking to enter the field of animation practice as well as develop and improve your existing animation skills. You are given the space to experiment with a range of techniques and styles before embarking on the creation of your final animated film.
In the first semester you write and pitch your film ideas, alongside developing and designing the production materials. You take a closer look at the anatomy of animation, peeling back the layers of a production to gain greater insight to form. In the second semester you refine your animation skills and you work in a small group to produce a short piece of animation allowing you to experiment with the animated form and techniques as well as get you up to speed on the production processes required to create your final film in the third semester.
There are three routes you can choose from to gain an MA 2D Animation and Stop Motion:
