7 students have been selected for the master animation program 2010-2011. The program starts on september 2nd. Throughout the year we will publish showcases of research- and practical- projects on this website.
The practice of animation is no longer restricted exclusively to the world of cinema. Driven by new technologies, production methods and platforms, innovative forms of animation now reach a broad range of audiences outside the theatre. Animation is playing an increasingly important role in various disciplines of art and design, film, games and interactive media and can also be found in such wide-ranging fields as architecture and science.
AKV|St.Joost*, School of Fine Art and Design (Breda, The Netherlands) now offers a one year Masters Course in PROFESSIONAL ANIMATION**. The course offers you the opportunity to further develop your artistic identity and to position yourself in a fast moving field.
The one year programme consists of workshops, guest lectures, practical design studies, research and theory. Personal entrepreneurship and networking activities - such as expertpresentations, studio visits and masterclasses all form part of the course.
In order to be able to follow contemporary professional practice closely, you will be working with leading studios and organisations in the field of animation and audiovisual production. For the coming year the following partnerships and guestlecturers have been confirmed:
Claire Cook (onedotzero), Fons Schiedon (characterdesign), Xsens Technologies (motion capture), Karel Witteveen (creative writing), NIAF (masterclasses), MK2 (AV facilities), Starterslift, Playgrounds AV Festival, International Film Festival Breda & more to come...
