Animation at JMC Academy is underpinned by a strong understanding of design and image-making. JMC’s Diploma of Creative Arts (Animation) provides a hands-on introduction to the process of animation in film, design and games through art and practice.

Get hands-on with the design and development of characters and worlds – from concept to finished art – and create arresting graphical motion and believable character performances. Be introduced to drawing and visualisation techniques, learn traditional techniques and cutting-edge motion design and acquire the core skills and tools required for 3D modelling and animation.
