Game Animation
16 week course, Fall 2011
Now is your chance to get professional training in game animation, thereby expanding your opportunities on the job market.
Demand for game animation skills is increasing all the time. Working as an animator on a computer game is different from working on classic film animation in many ways. The game animator needs a basic insight into the pipeline of computer game production. Furthermore, the animator must be able to communicate with both the director and the programmers in order to create high standard and fully functional game animation.
