Course summary
Course Information
The MA Animation Production philosophy sees understanding of the traditional principles of animation as fundamental, but these are critically contextualised in relation to technology, history, theory and professional/studio practice.
MA Animation Production offers you the opportunity to demonstrate a systematic and critically informed understanding of current developments in animation theory and practice. Fundamentally based on a tripartite approach of Practice, Theory and Professionalism – with each element placed in ‘critical dialogue with the others – the course will ensure that your research and practice is at the forefront of the discipline.
Animations position as an interdisciplinary field that draws from Art and Design, Film, Computing, Fine Art, Graphics (and other areas besides) necessarily means that top-level graduates in the field will have mastered a cross-disciplinary understanding of a range of skills, techniques, theories and discourses.
The overriding objective is to enable all MA Animation Production students to see themselves as part of a ‘community of practice (that includes research and critique, and the building of a ‘production culture), existing not as atomised students ‘doing their own thing, but as part of a meaningful whole.
Youll be a BA graduate in Animation or a related discipline. Although we will consider good graduates from other disciplines – having accepted them from Costume, Graphics, Digital Media, Illustration, Modelmaking, Photography and Fine Art in the past – you must have some understanding of the animation production process to prosper on this course.
Our alumni have gone on to work at Aardman, ILM, Lupus Films, Framestore, Pixar, Moving Picture Company and many other companies. Were proud of the network of AUB graduates who are now employed in animation – many of whom return to talk to current students.
