Digital Animation

Digital Animation

Digital animation is the art of animating with the use of computers.
Flash is a common utility used in creating web animation, but is now also rapidly growing in television
and feature film productions.
With Digital Animation becoming a mainstay in studios it is important for an artist to know how this
software is used and how it works in a production atmosphere.

The digital animation training series is a full length course that will take an artist through a digital
animation production pipeline. The artist will gain a firm understanding on how to produce a short
digital animation and learn how a professional pipeline works.
Completion of this entire training series will result in an understanding and working knowledge of the
software used as well as knowledge of how a studio pipeline works. Subscribers will complete the entire
series with a short digital animation.

The Master Animation program provides a balance of creative and technical skills necessary for success in animation production. Students will gain a strong foundation in both traditional and computer based forms of animation while developing their appreciation of the history from which the medium has gained its recognition. Students will engage in a complementary set of courses designed to teach necessary skills and to provide a venue for further development of skill sets within a creative production environment.

This course takes the student through the process of digital animation using Maya. The course will concentrate more on the technical and conceptual aspects of production of 3D animations rather than the design aspects. The course will also give the basics of digital sculpting using Z brush and 3D compositing using combustion.

The total duration of the course is 9 months.

FIRST 3 MONTHS

The students will be given a basic introduction to modeling, texturing, rigging and animation in the Maya environment. They will be exposed to the basic tools and techniques typically used in the process.

NEXT 4 MONTHS

The next four months the students will be taken to the advanced levels of modelling, texturing, rigging and character animation. They will be trained in the basic concepts and tools of digital sculpting and 3D compositing using Z Brush and Combustion respectively.

LAST 2 MONTHS

The last 2 months the students will work on creating a short film in 3D (Maya) for which the pre production will be done by the faculty. The students will be required to perform the tasks of production.

END RESULT

At the end of the course the students come out with:

1) A Diploma in Animation Film Making
2) A professional demo reel and portfolio.
3) Proven proficiency in the process of animation film making.
4) An understanding of the business of animation.

Digital Animation has become a popular media in the television, ?lm, computer games and related design industries. Cartoon Character Design has also extended its border from tradition comic drawing to game, animation, toy, product and even the fashion design industry. This course develops the ability of students to create professional cartoon character designs and produce digital animation with the integration of creativity and professional production techniques training.

As a student you will be able to take advantage of the world-class facilities provided by the Department. These include Michael Kao Digital Animation Centre, stop motion studio, digital ?lm and television recording and sound control studio, Dolby digital surround audio studio, sound effects laboratory, real-time motion capturing laboratory and professional visual effects and colour grading equipment.

The course is largely practical with creative studio based projects. You will be expected to develop your interpersonal, presentation and project management skills during the programme and these, combined with your technical knowledge, will provide opportunities for you to gain employment in the industry.
Career ProspectsWhen you have graduated you may find employment as a designer, animator, visualiser, digital illustrator, concept artist, game designer. Alternatively there may be opportunities in cartoon publishing, 3D animation production, web-animation production or digital ?lm post-production.
