Yoobee Colleges

This qualification is designed for learners who want to acquire foundational knowledge and skills in character animation, 2D animation methods, 3D modelling, VFX, pre-production, specialist software (such as Autodesk Maya, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Animate & Audition), and workplace practice. This programme provides learners with the essential basic skills for a career in animation or further study.

You will learn:

Foundations

First things first. Learn the principles of animation and how to apply these ideas to different media. You'll be introduced to various software while developing your art skills, observing forms, and build on skills to draw from real-life.

Digital Production

You then delve into the more complex stuff, turning your ideas into realistic assets by working with 3D modelling software to develop your skills in 3D modelling, and texturing of characters and objects.

Key animation

Learn to refine and create believable animation characters and effects in this module. You'll build on fundamental 3D character animation processes using animation software and learn how to plan and execute animation performances.

Final Image

Aesthetic appeal is the focus for this module. You develop your composition skills, and further develop in texturing, lighting and rendering concepts to produce final images and image sequences for animation. You'll learn how to pay close attention to mood, atmosphere and composition of your final image, creating animation to industry standard.
