Animation is the art of bringing life to an otherwise lifeless form. It is the merger of technology, artistry, and storytelling at its finest. Throw in today’s advanced technology and you have virtually unlimited possibilities to create something special.
Program Overview
As an Animation Program student, you’ll explore the field of animation at every level. You’ll hone your skills as an animator with hands-on training that prepares you for the real world of professional animation production. We keep classes small so students can experience the kind of individual attention and support that allows them to blossom as artists.
The Animation Program is focused on helping students understand how to use the technical skills and techniques they’ve learned to create original animation and compelling narratives. You’ll not only graduate with an incredible portfolio, you’ll leave RMCAD with the ability to communicate through animation production.
