Computer Animation MA
This course enables students with some experience of 3D computer graphics to develop and enhance their abilities in the skills required by the computer animation and visual effects industries. It is one of a suite of digital media courses that enables you to study professional digital media practice in a studio environment and work as part of an interdisciplinary team with students from across the full program.
Through a student-centered project-based curriculum, you will work to develop specialist skills such as character animation, character rigging, effects animation, modeling, texturing and lighting. You will learn clean modeling techniques, principles of animation, lighting, shading, texturing, rendering and compositing. You will create computer animation assets, both alone and in teams, using industry-standard production techniques that stimulate a professional environment of collaboration to deliver a product on time.
You will also work as part of a team comprising students from different media disciplines, undertaking projects that have previously included the use of brain-computer interface systems, computer vision, and optical stereoscopic 3D, and you will learn how to present yourself to potential employers through your professional presence and portfolio.
