Course details

We’ve developed this course for students who have not completed a traditional foundation course or who are not quite ready to go on to First Year degree study, but who know which subject they wish to take. You’ll gain the fundamental knowledge, critical awareness and practical skills which are essential for all Arts students.

Classes you will attend

  • Basics

    We’ll start off by covering our bases, going through all the different types of animation, as well as learn the vocabulary to make sure we’re all on the same page.

  • The 12 Principles of Animation

    After understanding the basics, we’ll dig deep into the famous 12 Principles of Animation, established by old time Disney animators.

  • Animating a scene

    After we understand the theory and all the basic principles of animation, we’ll dive into animating a whole scene from start to finish. We’ll learn all the skills necessary, including how to shoot reference video, how to work in passes, how to work with cameras in your shots, and even learn some lip-syncing techniques and study walk cycles.
