Overview

Bachelor of Animation - Technical Direction

This degree at Griffith is the ideal launching pad for you to play a significant role in Australia's animation and visual effects industries and abroad. 

You'll produce original animated projects from concept to delivery using top-of-the-line hardware and premium industry-recognised software. 

You'll learn skills in concept development, storyboarding, 2D, 3D and stop-motion character animation, editing, sound recording, visual effects, virtual production, post-production and motion capture.

You will also develop the ability to apply appropriate animation formats to specific projects-traditional drawn animation, 2D, 3D and motion-captured digital animation, 3D puppet or clay animation and other experimental media. 

Your academic studies will be extended by studio coursework and engagement with industrial production, providing you with first-hand experience.

Work-integrated learning

Students will complete work placements or in-class simulated work activities under direction as part of Introduction to Professional Practice, Industry Research and Animation Portfolio courses.

Your studies will be extended via tuition with industry professionals and the opportunity for client work and internships. 

You may also have internship possibilities with Ludo (Bluey), Pixel Zoo, AltVFX, and Liquid Animation Studios.

You'll work alongside film and screen media production, and games design students to complete capstone projects and have opportunities to collaborate with students from the Queensland Conservatorium.
