ANIMATION MASTER ACADEMY

You’ve laid down your animation foundations-now is the time to create the performance! Continue to go wider and deeper with your animation knowledge which allows you to combine animation principles and solid workflow in the blockbuster feature animation and television industries! You will concentrate on the nuances of animation performance whether it’s pantomime, facial performance, advanced acting and finally polish.

This track is for students wanting to expand their skill set and widen their marketability in the animation arena. Creature animation makes for a killer demo reel–especially at blockbuster VFX studios and leading commercial and television FX houses! These studios create ultra realistic animation sequences of creatures doing amazing things in an eye-popping way–sequences that would be difficult or even impossible to create using motion capture!

If you’ve had your foundations but games are more your speed then we have an animation track for you. In our Games/Rea-time track you will create animations ​that respond to gameplay and storytelling to help translate what the player is doing​ while being in control of where they go! You’ll learn to work with specific real-time rigs , game engines, while learning the specifics of animation within a gameplay scenario and be more successful within the games industry.

Our Animation Workshops are compact classes that allow animators to develop some peripheral skills to help expand and develop skill sets that make them a more well rounded animator. These workshops will also help with the improvement of their demo reels to present their animations better. Here are some of the offerings!
