VISUAL EFFECTS & ANIMATION

12 MONTH DIPLOMA (FULL-TIME)

CG ARTISTS TRANSFORM VISION INTO VISUAL REALITY.

Students will choose from three specializations: Animation, Modeling or Visual Effects. Our Animation specialization focuses on bringing digital characters to 'life' through utilizing tools such as the 12 Principles of Animation, while Modeling trains students in creating photorealistic assets, and Visual Effects focuses on digital simulations, lighting and compositing.

Potential Career Paths: Visual Effects Artist, Animator, Technical Director, CG Generalist and many more!
