KNB305 Animation Studio

This unit focuses on the collaborative production of a narrative-driven animated short film within a simulated studio environment. Building on the foundations established throughout the course, you will work as part of a production team to develop and complete a cohesive outcome within contemporary animation workflows. Through studio-based production processes, you will engage with current practices and ideas in animation, applying creative, technical and conceptual approaches to the development of your project. The unit emphasises planning, iteration and problem-solving within a shared production pipeline, reflecting the structure and expectations of professional animation studios. Working collaboratively, you will develop project proposals, test and refine ideas, and contribute to the production of an animated short. The studio environment supports the coordination of roles, workflows and creative decision-making, preparing you for industry approaches to animation production.
