In today’s world of Digital Media, the animation plays a great role in providing you a quick understanding of the present, past and future scenario which otherwise would be difficult to get in perception. This need in turn increases the demand of highly skilled 3D Animators all over the world in different job fields. The “Bachelor of Arts in 3D Animation & Visual Effects” is a Graduation program which helps the students to learn the use of Cameras, Computers, Software, Foam Latex, Effects Makeup, Create DV films with aesthetic sense, Film Editing and much more. The course also focus on the Animation Production Pipeline and the students undergoing the final year of this 3D Animation and Visual Effects program also gets opportunity show their skills by submitting a Computer Graphics based film as a final project.

Course Outline:

The 3D Animation and Visual Effects program being a vast course has been divided into 3 years.

During the 1st year of 3D Animation and Visual effects program, the students get themselves confront with different subjects of art such as drawing, screenwriting, cinematography, 2D and 3D animation, and modeling. Students learn the various aspects of the Digital Media Industry including design, typography, digital audio and video, and authoring to prepare projects proposals. They also learn the ability to communicate each other in a professional manner and develop various software and hardware which used in the digital media industry.

During the 2nd year 3D Animation and Visual effects program, students steps in the area of specialization and advanced sector. They have a wide scope of getting involved in visual research based on learning techniques of Direction, Acting, and Cinematography etc. During this period they complete their first demo reel, which is a short film of 1 min. by using several 3D software tools and Flash. The Specialization Course focuses on creating animated figures, lighting with dynamics and rendering techniques. They also learn the theories and practice of Film Editing and Compositing.

During the 3rd year 3D Animation and Visual effects program students get the opportunity of applying their skills which they have gained already in the previous two years. At this time students also concentrate on their project works and learn that how to apply their skills in the real world of the business of media.
