show moreIn Canada, the animation industry is going global to create its brand. The demand for thinking minds and skilled professionals such as ‘animators’ is growing. In the global and local sense, these thinking minds will be nurtured and mentored by the CAM Institute of Design to face tomorrow’s challenges.
This program aims to teach students to use animation as a creative tool to build solutions to complex problems in the communication design industry. This spirit is also strongly associated with CAM’s theory and principles of Design Pedagogy.

Special animation skills and techniques such as Visual Development for Animation and Games, Personality and Caricature, Animation Fundamentals, Character Design and Storyboarding, Stop Motion, VFX for Film and Games and CGI skills, along with Industry Standard Software training, will be well prepared for students of animation design.
Students go through the entire development pipeline and create an animation film right from concept to screen. Combined with animation design techniques, the narrative content’s critical understanding makes a useful communication piece.
