3D ANIMATION COURSE
The 3D Animation course at Animation 3D trains high-level creative people prepared to enter the film, animation series, 3D image or advertising markets.
Technical and demanding, the course puts students in conditions similar to those of a professional studio. Through practice, students discover the different stages of production of an animated film: script, storyboard, art direction, modelling, animation, editing, etc. A large part of the course is also dedicated to management and studio work methods. The final year is devoted to the production of a short animated film in a team, presented in front of a jury of professionals. This project allows students to put into practice the skills they have acquired during their training.
The goals of the course are :
- To learn to observe and reproduce reality
- To master the tools for creating static and animated images
- To develop an animation culture and a critical mind
- To understand the production chain of an animated film
- To create short animated films as a team
- To acquire the working methods of a professional studio
The curriculum includes several periods of internship.

The ideal baccalaureate to integrate a course in 3D Animation is the STD2A (Sciences and Technologies of Design and Applied Arts) baccalaureate. However, our programs are open to all baccalaureate holders, regardless of their speciality. In some cases, a year of preparatory classes may be useful to ensure the fundamentals.
