Animation & Visual Effects
Animation & Visual Effects
The Animation & Visual Effects major gives students the technological, story-telling and design skills to succeed as animators and visual effects artists in the highly competitive entertainment and design worlds. Animation and visual effects are no longer used only when creating animation or big budget theatrical films. Today, these production techniques are widely used in feature films, medical research, engineering, television, web content, the performing arts, corporate communications and higher education. While an understanding of the multiple facets of digital media remains important to students' educational development, the depth and complexity of the field necessitates a rigorous course of study specifically focused on animation and visual effects. To best prepare students for the demands of careers in these cutting-edge disciplines, they will pursue a foundation of design and technology, taking core courses in all aspects of digital media, completing a six month co-op and delving into rigorous coursework in many areas of specialization. Students will learn the underlying principles of animation, along with industry-standard software technology. The entire creative pipeline from storyboarding through modeling and animation is covered in-depth, allowing students to experience all aspects of production.
