Program Overview:

This program has been designed with input from major animation companies in the United States, Canada, Japan and Great Britain. It is open to students who have completed our three-year diploma program in Classical Animation and Computer Basics, and to any student who has completed an equivalent course of study elsewhere. This program is designed to give classically trained animation students production experience on a real 3D animated short film, which will be entered into international film competitions.

The program is divided into two parts. The first part familiarizes students with Maya basics, taught through classroom exercises, lectures and drills that help form good working habits in 3D production. The second part consists of a 3D group project directed and supervised by the director/instructor, as well as various members of the faculty.
