PRESENTATION
RUBIKA’s 3D Animation training course rains high-level creative and technical people ready to enter the markets of animated films, 3D image or advertising.
Technical and demanding, the training places students in conditions like those of a professional studio. Through practical works, students discover the different stages of an animated film production : script, storyboard, art direction, modeling, animation, editing… A large part of the training is also devoted to management and working methods in a studio. The last year of training is devoted to a short-animated film realized in a team presented in front of a professional jury. This project allows students to put into practice the skills acquired during their training.
