Introduction

Animation, computing and games are some of the fastest-changing emergent industries in the world. The video game industry has now officially outgrown Hollywood¹, and each of these industries is at the very forefront of new tech, whether it’s software, VR or artificial intelligence. Animation and games are both richly layered processes – stories, scripts and concept art must be developed, characters and environments designed, and storyboards drawn and re-drawn. CGI is a particularly complex process – assets must be modelled, textured, lit, rigged, animated, edited and rendered, to then be composited and graded in post-production. Outputs range from quirky animated shorts to art-house visualisations, from commercial commissions to moving personal stories, from poetic documentaries to out-and-out slapstick comedies. The BA (Hons) Animation course we offer at Farnham is one of the oldest programmes of its kind in Europe. You’ll be able to explore animation and animated filmmaking through a range of techniques, such as traditional and digital drawn, stop frame puppet and 3D or 2D CGI. Our BA (Hons) Computer Animation Arts course will train you visually and technically to become a skilled CGI artist and animator, and BA (Hons) Illustration and Animation will help you establish your own personal voice whilst communicating visually – you’ll look at applied drawing techniques, printing, editorial illustration and narrative sequence.

Our BA (Hons) Games Design course delves into the exciting aspect of video games, looking at the entrepreneurial indie attitude that flourishes so much in the industry while BA (Hons) Games Art will help you develop skills in drawing and art styles, 2D and 3D production in the gaming environment and more. On our BSc (Hons) Games Technology course, you’ll learn how to consider users through the design and development of gaming, and explore new technologies. The BSc (Hons) Creative Computing course will give you the opportunity to shape the world around you, discovering the exciting and untold possibilities of coding in the world of design. Some of our alumni have become Oscar, BAFTA and British Animation Awards winners, and a large number of students have had their films shown at festivals around the world. Our teaching team includes a number of leading industry professionals, award-winning experts and working animators, coders and game designers. We want to teach you about these industries so that you can aspire to become the best in the business. ¹Source: Nasdaq.com: Investing in video games, 2017

Deanna Crisbacher, UCA Rochester


“ I chose UCA over London universities because I didn’t want to study in the city – with university I always feared feeling like just a number in the system rather than an individual person. I wanted to have a proper connection with my tutors that would encourage my creativity. I chose to study the Computer Animation Arts course – it was recommended to me by my tutors in my Foundation year and I saw it had many positive reviews from previous students. I was also impressed by the films and projects students on that course had produced. “ I chose Computer Animation Arts because I love films, art, and technology. I taught myself how to paint digitally several years ago… so when I saw I would be able to learn more about that on this course, I was very excited to be part of it. I always enjoyed films – I feel they’re an incredibly powerful storytelling tool for getting messages across to an audience. The idea that, in CGI, I can build my own worlds from scratch appealed to me.”

Portfolio advice

What is a portfolio? A portfolio is a collection of your work that demonstrates your range of skills and creative talent. It’s your opportunity to showcase your individuality, creativity, inspirations and artistic abilities, and a useful way for us to evaluate your suitability for the course you’ve applied to. It might contain design work, drawings, art projects, photographs, films, sound work, music composition, or examples of creative writing or essays. Think of your portfolio as a statement about your work – it should exhibit your creative journey, thought processes and influences. Don’t be afraid to be bold and appeal to a viewer, keeping their attention and leaving them feeling excited about your creative potential.

What should my portfolio include? Your portfolio should feature examples of your research and show the development of your ideas and projects – this should be highly presentable and well organised. It may be useful to arrange your work into themes, styles or chronological order, demonstrating good organisational skills and your own artistic awareness. Make sure you show your passion for the subject – look into your favourite animators, artists and game developers and the other things they make. Show us some ideas you’ve had for worlds, games, characters and stories. Your portfolio should exhibit your creative journey, thinking processes and individual personality, so we can assess your potential. It’s important to show both your inspirations and aspirations, as your portfolio says a lot about you and your creative identity. Documenting the development of your ideas in a sketchbook is a great way to show us how you approached the task of creating your work, giving us insight into your creative thinking and how you approach your subject. Make sure your portfolio is well presented. Our tutors only have a short amount of time to look through each portfolio, so you need to organise your work intelligently. We recommend that you include between 10 and 25 pieces of work, neatly mounted on white or off-white paper in either landscape or portrait format (not a mixture of both).

Find out more The course pages at uca.ac.uk provide clear guidance on what we’d like to see in your portfolio for each of our courses. We’ve also put together a set of videos talking you through the process: uca.ac.uk/study/portfolio-advice 12

Put some of your most attention-grabbing and interesting work at the front and lead us through your journey, showcasing a variety of skills, materials, techniques and influences – it could include paintings, drawings, photography, digital pieces, storyboards, animation images or written work. If you include moving image work, we recommend a maximum of two minutes’ running time. Highlight your favourite pieces too, and indicate what or who inspires you.

“ Animation became an ambition of mine as a result of my maths teacher in secondary school. He found my ‘doodle pages’ in my maths book, full of characters and stick men running through assault courses and asked me whether I’d ever considered going into animation. It wasn’t until then that a career in it had ever occurred to me. “ I love my subject because I can do anything with it. In animation, elephants fly, lions can talk and turtles can be six feet tall and red, there’s no end to the creatures you can create. “ On the course, I loved how close the students and tutors worked together – we got loads of face time with our tutors, going through ideas on a weekly basis. As the majority of them are working practitioners, they genuinely know their stuff and you never feel like you’re learning something that’s not up-to-date. They’re also just lovely to work with. ‘With’ being the key word, I always felt like I’m working ‘with’ them all to come to the best version of my work, not under or against them. You’re never just a number.”

Anthony Faulkner BA (Hons) Computer Animation Arts, UCA Rochester Graduated 2016

“ I studied the Foundation [Diploma] at UCA Rochester, so I had an understanding of what to expect from UCA and the way they teach. The teaching style and the tutors at UCA are some of the most caring and personal courses I have experienced – they believe that anyone can succeed and will help towards any goals you might have. The CG Animation community is great too, everyone gets together and helps out with any problems they might have especially as Maya (the 3D software) can get complicated. “ The course gave me an opportunity and an experience which most courses won’t. To create an animation short completely by yourself with control over your own art direction and story is an experience I will never forget and look for certain to do again someday hopefully in the big studios! It gave me a sense of being your own director and producer with the only limitations being your own ability. Of course it was stressful, tough and sometimes painful but it’s an experience and feeling you’ll never forget and I have UCA and the tutors of Computer Animation Arts to thank for that.” 17

Course leaders

“ One of my favourite parts of the course is the pitch – at the beginning of each project, you present your ideas and basically convince a room full of people that you know what you’re talking about and get them excited about your project. It’s a really great opportunity to see everyone’s ideas, and a huge test of how well you know your own. They’re probably the most gruelling and stressful days of the year, but definitely rewarding. “ I really can’t fault the staff, too – they’ve worked out a balance where they can be there to give you a helping hand if you need it, but for the most part as long as you’ve pitched your idea right, they give you total freedom when it comes to the content, style and approach of your film. The visiting lecturers that they bring in are really inspiring, and to be able to get feedback on your work with people working in the industry is amazing!”

“ The experience on the course has been incredible. Not only have I made friends for life, but also found something that I have a major passion for. I’m a big fan of games, but I was curious to find out how they were made. This course supplied that and has given me an even greater appreciation for something I love. It’s great to be able to make really cool stuff! One day you could be creating a fire hydrant, the next you’re coming up with the idea for a new alien race.”
