Introduction
Bringing a character to life involves more than just technical ability. With that in mind, Animation at JMC has been developed in association with studio professionals from Pixar and Animal Logic, to help you tell your story from concept development to finished animation.
Learn to design and develop characters and worlds – from concept to finished art – and create arresting graphical motion and believable characters. Introducing you to the art and practice of animation, this course allows you to specialize in your passion, be it story and art direction, 2D + 3D hybrid animation, technical art, or a combination of them all.
We’ll make sure you are up to speed on all the latest developments demanded by the industry, you'll have a chance to intern, network, and study abroad along the way. Graduate with a top-notch portfolio, a showreel, and knowledge of who’s who where it counts, to launch you into the industry.
Specialize in what you are passionate about with a Bachelor's degree focusing on story and art direction, 2D, 3D, and hybrid animation, technical art, or a combination of them all. Immerse yourself in an exciting journey from concept development to finished animation in multiple styles. Take advantage of JMC’s impressive animation, motion-capture, virtual-reality, recording, and green-screen studios to bring your project to life, and master tech skills like rigging and compositing.
In only 2 years you can graduate with a Bachelor's degree thanks to our accelerated full-time course. Part-time study is also available to domestic students. International students may choose to complete the course in 3 years rather than the accelerated 2-year option.
