2D Animation and Stop Motion

This course teaches you to create animated and stop-motion sequences for film and television. You develop drawing, design and composition skills alongside the technical methods used to build digital 2D and 3D content. Students work in dedicated studios and use industry-standard software and creative workflows. Modules cover digital image-making, layering, colour and lighting, and projects build towards a showreel and a portfolio of finished work. Part-time study is available alongside the full-time route. Graduates pursue roles as animators, stop-motion artists and motion designers in studios, production companies and independent film projects. The course also prepares students who wish to move on to further study. Students also learn how animation is planned and managed in production, from early concept development through to final delivery.
