This year, AN5001 is the second animation module that our undergraduate students encounter in their second year of studies, in which our students study the art and craft of character animation.
In AN5001 our animation students tackle character actions, pantomime, acting, performance and dialogue, and enter the monthly 11 Second Club competition.

Students will build on the animation skills they learned in their first year of studies, in AN4001 - Introduction to Animation, and also AN5002 - animal and creature animation.
