Description:

Our diploma program in 3D Animation focuses primarily on animating characters for film, game and television production. The department head for our program, Calvin Leduc, has over 20 years experience in the animation & gaming industry, including 9 years at Walt Disney Feature Animation.

This gives our students the benefit of direct involvement in the program by animator from the top studio in the world! Though still possible to take independently, combining this program with our 2D Animation program for two years of study and receiving a diploma in commercial animation is our recommended path of action for the most solid training available!
