Next Start Dates: Sept. 7, 2010 & March 14, 2011
LIMITED SEATS STILL OPEN FOR SEPTEMBER 2010
Developed by Wayne Gilbert, our Head of Animation, the VanArts Character Animation Program is based on the same methodology Wayne developed for Disney Canada, Industrial Light & Magic and Animation Mentor. You will work alongside your instructors in a dynamic studio setting in which learning replicates industry experience. Students and instructors become an intimate team of creative minds working side-by-side in innovative collaborations.
Our program respects the intense 12-month study time frame by focusing on animating and character performance. During that time we will challenge you to push the limits of your creativity. Your first goal is to produce a high quality demo DVD showcasing your character animation skills, worthy of presenting to the major animation studios of Canada, the USA and around the world. This demo DVD becomes the passport to your first job in the industry. Your creativity and commitment to the craft will guarantee your success.
The program’s singular focus is training future Character Animators. Our 2D and 3D students share lectures, assignments & reviews, and work closely together as a team. Extra life drawing is provided for 2D animators, and Maya is taught to support the 3D stream. If you share our vision and are dedicated to your craft, then we look forward to welcoming you to VanArts.
