Annabelle

Animation Production BA(Hons)

Course information

Animation is a lively and exhilarating medium – it can make us laugh, cry, think and feel in its exploration of inner and outer worlds. It can express events, story and character through light, line and movement. It entertains audiences, whilst raising thought-provoking questions concerning truth, illusion, love, life and death. On this course we’ll help you define your preferred area of interest early on in your studies, and you’ll continue to develop your skills throughout.
