Introduction
MA Character Animation
MA Character Animation at Central Saint Martins is a practical course which will teach you how to make your characters do much more than move – it will teach you to make them perform. You will learn timing, software, storytelling, character design, film language and take acting lessons and weekly life drawing lessons. Alongside this, you will also explore historical and critical approaches to animation.
From the internet and mobile phones to television commercials, games and movie special effects, animation is everywhere. The medium, which today takes many different forms, has permeated our visual culture. As a result, the technologies used to create animation are evolving at a rapid rate – Programs dominate the market one year and then are obsolete the next. Rather than encouraging dependency on a narrow range of software, MA Character Animation fosters universal techniques and adaptable, practice-based knowledge. You will learn skills which can be applied to different software packages, technical processes, creative approaches and distribution technologies in the future.
