This will help you to establish and personalise the overall direction of your studies and practice. You will also look at the wider production pipeline needed for an animation, covering areas such as: modelling rigging texturing lighting rendering You’ll also look at how to convey effective storytelling and emotion in a visual narrative as achieving this is one of the hardest challenges which animators face.
