Course Information

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Animation) provides an immersive and experiential education, focusing on the origination and development of animated projects for a wide range of screen contexts and audiences. There is a strong emphasis on developing your individual creative voice and experimentation while underlining the need to reach effectively and freshly to an audience.

The unique studio-based study environment enables individualistic learning as well as engagement and collaboration with students in other screen-based specialisations within Film and Television, as well as creative interdisciplinary collaborations with students across Performing Arts, Music, Visual Art, Design and Production.

In the first year of the course, you will undertake foundation exercises in animation research, techniques, experimentation, writing and storyboarding, sound, and project planning.

In year two, creative and technical skills are applied to character creation, world building, sound production and application of animation to expanded screen contexts.

In the final year, you will undertake studies in projects for collaborative and community practice, projection arts and animation production enterprise. In each year you will create an animated short film that you will write, direct, edit and animate, thereby developing a body of work that demonstrates a continued practice across all stages of animation production.
