Guided by industry professionals, you'll hone both technical and creative skills while building valuable industry connections for your future career in animation and VFX.

Our program explores two core areas: Animation & VFX for film and live-action media, where you'll integrate CGI using techniques like green screen, rotoscoping, and compositing, and Game Animation & VFX, where you'll design visual effects for games, from immersive environmental elements like rain and fire to dynamic gameplay effects like magical spells and explosions. Mastering both disciplines will give you a versatile skill set, opening doors to careers in film, gaming, and beyond.
