Overview
Digital Communication Design Animation Industry HNC (Full-time)The Animation Industry is heavily tied to a range of career pathways, ranging from Film to TV, Advertising to Medical Applications.
Within the course we will be looking at utilising the medium of Animation to develop and enhance existing ideas and concepts beyond static imagery. By developing and applying animation principles, advertising campaigns and branding can take on a new video format that helps brings these ideas into our modern, screen based, world.
We uniquely benefit from being located in Bedford due to being a short train/bus journey from key animation and advertising hubs in the UK; London, Cambridge, Oxford, and Milton Keynes.
As a combined pathway course, you’ll be shown a range of creative practices form multi-disciplined lecturers, closely reflecting the intertwined nature of the digital creative industry as it is now compared to the segmented structure of many other similar courses.
