Animation Program
Master 2D & 3D animation.
Build a studio-ready showreel.
A 7-month career-track bootcamp covering the full animation pipeline — from storyboarding and character rigging to final rendering and compositing.
What is the Animation Program?
The Animation Program is a comprehensive career-track bootcamp for those serious about building a professional animation career. Over 7 months, students master the complete animation pipeline — beginning with the 12 principles of animation and character design, moving through 2D frame-by-frame and cut-out animation in Toon Boom Harmony, then into 3D character modelling, rigging and skinning in Maya and Blender, and finishing with lighting, rendering in Arnold or Redshift, and final compositing in After Effects. The program culminates in two complete short films — one 2D and one 3D — that form the core of a studio-ready animation showreel.

From Sketch
to Screen
The Animation Program transforms how you understand movement — not just what looks good, but why it feels alive. Over 7 months you will draw, rig, animate and render characters that breathe, react and perform. You stop watching animated films thinking "How did they do that?" and start thinking "I know exactly how to build that shot." — the shift in perspective that turns passionate artists into professional animators studios are actively looking for.
