Discipline guide

Animation

Drawing, modelling and timing brought to life.

From hand-drawn 2D to 3D pipelines and stop motion, animation is craft plus patience plus storytelling. Courses split between animation-as-film-art and animation-as-industry-pipeline — know which one a school teaches.

What students make

  • Short films and animation tests
  • Character and environment development
  • Storyboards and animatics that prove timing instincts

Where it leads

  • Animation and VFX studios
  • Games cinematics
  • Motion design
  • Independent film

Directions, not promises — careers are built from the work, and the work starts now.
