Our multiple award-winning programme differs radically from most animation programmes in that we teach a broad spectrum of production methods. You will learn about: * 2D and 3D techniques * using both cameras and CGI * puppet based stop-frame and drawn animation You will make animated films, documentaries and more, both individually and as a team. **Awards** Our students have won awards at: * Annecy * the Royal Television Society (RTS) * the BAFTAs * the Emmys **Demand for animators** As animation becomes more ubiquitous, animators are increasingly sought after by employers. You can see examples of animators' work everywhere, including: * the animated icons on your phone * the visual effects on the latest feature films * the interactive worlds and characters on games consoles * multi-million-view viral web animations **How we teach** At Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) we teach in a uniquely broad way that combines classical animation technique with innovative technologies. This results in a distinctive digital/analogue hybrid. Animation is one of the few media you can use to create and populate worlds and develop consistent systems of cause and effect (moral, ethical and physical). Animators use these resources to: * inform an audience for social and commercial purpose * immerse them in a compelling narrative * achieve both **Contextualising your practice** Hand-in-hand with the development of your practical skill base, you will also develop your critical awareness of the medium and its associated industries. You will be able to contextualise your practice. You can also maximise your chances for employment within a continually diversifying range of opportunities within the field. Integrated with the practical studio work, Design and Screen Cultures courses provide a contextual and theoretical understanding of the holistic nature of contemporary design and screen studies.
