The Master’s Degree in Creature Animation Specialization is designed for character animators who want to specialize in creatures for live-action film. This program equips you with advanced technical knowledge and skills essential for your development and success in the film, television, and video game industries.
You will develop both technical and creative skills to animate complex creatures, integrate them into live-action scenes, and enhance your portfolio to access new job opportunities. The training begins with a strong foundation in the fundamentals of creature animation, covering fantastic anatomy compared to real-world references, the study of weight, balance, and animal behavior as a basis for believable movement, and the analysis of real scenes as a starting point for animation planning.
The program also delves into the animation of various types of creatures — quadrupeds, bipeds, birds, or hybrids — for both animated and live-action films, human-creature interaction, and layout for VFX previs.
If you’re a 3D character animator looking to expand your career beyond cartoon-style animation, this is your specialization master’s degree.
