What makes us unique?
Highlights during my three years at Animation College included industry talks from NZ and abroad, co-directing a team for Film Challenge week in my third year and John Ewing sharing his experience and stories about his days working at Disney. I had awesome tutors who were always willing to help and great classmates who became friends. By the end of my third year, I had an animation demo reel ready, which helped me get my first job at Games Lab NZ a few months later, where I’ve been working as a Maya Generalist for the past year and a half.

I enjoyed the environment at Animation College, especially when it came to discussing our individual projects, you can bounce ideas off the other students. The student feedback and opinions expressed often result in better decision making. I learned the importance of a good story, and going through the right steps. From the initial idea, to a solid script, storyboarding and editing. You need to do all the steps in a relative order to come out with a finished and successful piece of work.

Diploma in Animation
Visual storytelling will be a vital part of your craft. We’ll teach you how to turn your brilliant ideas into storyboards and comics, and equip you with some invaluable cinematography techniques. Your first year also comes with a healthy dose of technology training — you’ll work with current industry standard software to develop your understanding of 2D and 3D animation mediums, and you’ll explore some mind-bending ways to use compositing. You’ll even produce your own film clips.
LEVEL 5 Are you a fan of Hayao Miyazaki? Do you have a soft spot for Disney or Anime? If you’re captivated by the handdrawn characters of legends like Miyazaki and Walt Disney or a super-savvy techie into using software, not pencils. Choose your weapon, and become either a master of 2D Digital or 3D Computer Animation. Kick start your animation training with an introduction to the theory and practice of animation principles with the Diploma in Animation. This one-year foundation programme gives you the option to explore the fundamentals of character animation, pre-production, specialist software and performance animation, with anatomical knowledge at its very core. Gain the fundamental knowledge and skills you need to launch your career as an animator, concept artist or 3D guru. A solid foundation in animation principles and visual communications will set you up to create some insanely cool stuff during our studio sessions — that’s when you get your hands dirty and put into practice everything you’ve been learning — it’s here you’ll learn the nuts and bolts of animation methods like movement and dialogue, and build your knowledge of software, workflow and industry practice. Work collaboratively, using the industry standard production pipeline to create an inspiring animation project with your fellow classmates.
The role I currently hold is Senior Animator at Mercury Filmworks, which happens to be one of Canada’s larger studios and in my eyes it’s the best. I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with companies like Walt Disney, Dreamworks and Mattel just to name a few.

Throughout the year you’ll also be attending industry talks and workshops to support your industry networking and sharpen up your portfolio and presentation skills, before you launch your public identity on the Graduate Platform: a specialised website designed to help link you with industry job prospects. The main focus is, as always, on producing top quality creative projects from start to finish whilst having synchronicity with local industry. This programme has an exhilarating pace and is aligned to your creative vision; we can’t wait to see what you make!
LEVEL 7 The Diploma in Digital Media (DDM) is an intensive one-year course of study designed to refine students’ fundamental animation skills and develop knowledge gained in the previous two years. It’s time to put your skills to use with a passion project year! Everyone has a story or project that’s close to their heart, so it’s time to realise this! These projects give you the opportunity to sharpen your skills in a simulated studio environment under the guidance of your lecturers who are industry professionals and to have your work showcased in the public domain whilst studying. This course is largely self-directed and you will be expected to manage your time and workload efficiently. The pace is demanding, replicating the pressures and deadlines of working life in industry. The creative industry is dynamic and is always changing, so you’ll also be exploring and adapting emerging crowd-funding platforms to understand how to launch your own projects as a creative entrepreneur. This is to prepare you for all eventualities and to help you hit the ground running when you launch your creative career the following year!
The year consists of four main components: TEAM PRODUCTION

I took DDM 3D Level 7 and it’s largely a selfdirected course. It taught me not to fully rely on my previous knowledge, but to be open to learning and trying something new. There are different ways to learn a new skill/software/ life hack, and I got to discover that I can effectively learn by a combination of research, observation, asking for feedback, filtering said feedback, revising and repeating the previous steps.

Year 1
Year 3
The first step on your quest to becoming a world-class animator is to develop your foundation knowledge and skills. Year one is all about giving you the building blocks to the animation kingdom. It’s your key to the door. We’ll introduce you to the principles of storytelling for film and animation, and we’ll peek into the minds of scriptwriters and designers — after all, they’re the ones you’ll be collaborating with further down the track.
Now this is where things get really exciting! This year you get to call the shots and zoom in on what you’re really passionate about. Will it be story and character? World building and visual effects? Or interactive media and games? Whatever path you choose, you will be mentored by specialist lecturers every step of the way. These people aren’t just lecturers. They’re legends in their fields. They’ve made it to the top and they’re passing you the torch.
Sharpen your pencils for our studio-based life drawing classes and discover how critique and reflection can really enhance your work. You’ll gain a grounding in the principles of visual communication design, and we’ll step back in time to see the impact cultural, historical and social influencers — not to mention technology — have had on the animation industry. Of course, you’ll also start developing your 2D and 3D skills. You’ll learn how to convey your ideas with moving image, and produce your own short 2D animations. Then you’ll turn your 2D images into 3D models, and start to develop your own 3D art assets and animations.
Delve into the cultural, social, theoretical and historical aspects of your chosen field and develop the advanced knowledge and skills you need to really blaze a trail. This year you’ll funnel all your talent and knowledge into one epic pathway. That’s your heart and soul on a plate right there. That’s your destiny!
Year 2 The next step on your journey to animator superstardom is to start applying all that foundation knowledge you have just amassed. This year we focus on cinematic and visual effects, and also game design, using your burgeoning animation skills to create game assets and game art. Studies on interactive narrative will help you develop stories, worlds and characters for a variety of different genres and media types; and you’ll explore game creation software, zooming in on storytelling rather than coding. Get geared-up for the workplace or post-graduate studies by building your academic, investigative and analytic skills, and boost your understanding of important stuff like professional practice, ethics and project management. Hone your advanced drawing skills in our life drawing studio sessions, and learn how to merge your artistic and animation skills with your creativity, ideation and transdisciplinary thinking knowledge. Dip your feet into advanced 3D graphics practices, visual effects techniques, and learn about compositing digital imagery with live-action footage. Plus you’ll study interactive production, nailing all touchpoints of the pipeline from pre-production to production and post-production.
Your ultimate challenge comes in the form of the capstone — an individual or group project of your choosing. It’s the culmination of everything you’ve learnt about animation thus far. It’s your opportunity to show the industry just what you’ve got. Knock us dead!
