**Course overview**: If you would like a creative career as an animator in film, television or games then this is the course for you. You choose to specialise in one of two areas - real-time games animation and motion capture or character animation for film and television. You cover fundamental skills common to all animation roles including 2D and 3D animation, cinematography and pre-visualisation, 3D modelling and sculpting, rigging and simulation. Depending on your specialism, you study character animation, creature animation, motion capture, lip sync, performance capture and acting. You develop skills in both real-time and rendered animation which are widely used in games, film, and television production. In group modules, you work with games students to produce fully-functional games, or with visual effects students to create an action packed feature film sequence or a short film. In your final year you create your own project, allowing you bring together everything you have learnt and prepare for industry. **After the course**: Our graduates are working in major studios around the world including Rockstar Games, The Imaginarium Studios and Industrial Light & Magic. They have worked on feature films including Spiderman Far From Home, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Jurassic World 3, and on AAA games including Red Dead Redemption II, Spiderman: Hidden Agenda and Horizon Zero Dawn.
