Overview

This Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Animation, offered by Concordia's Faculty of Fine Arts, provides a foundation in the art of creative, independent frame-by-frame filmmaking. Students learn animated movement, stop motion, storyboarding, drawing, animated documentary, sound design and creative compositing, with a curriculum that emphasizes cross-pollination, innovation and experimentation across animation techniques. Students choose a Major in Film Animation (60 credits) or, for current Concordia students only, a Minor (30 credits). Full-time study takes three to four years (90-120 credits), with classes held on the Sir George Williams campus and admission only in the Fall term. Applicants submit a letter of intent and a portfolio to the department. The program suits students pursuing careers in independent, studio or experimental animation production.
