Program Overview

The Computer Animation curriculum at Full Sail is centered on real world production processes. From storyboarding, sketching, and modeling to character animation, special effects, and final compositing, the Computer Animation degree program at Full Sail takes you through the entire production pipeline.

Our program starts by getting you familiar with the art concepts behind animation; drawing, sculpting, and other traditional forms of expression are essential parts of getting your art onto the computer. You’ll also learn the basic principles behind computer-generated models, characters, animation, and visual effects. Then you’ll put those principles to use just like animation pros do when developing games, commercials, TV shows, and films. By using the same hardware and software as professional animation studios, you’ll gain the skills you’ll need to hit the ground running when you embark on your career. To highlight these skills, you’ll finish your education by creating a demo reel that showcases your best work.
