If you are creatively minded, you love technology and have a scientific approach to art, I highly recommend this course. You will do a range of artistic skills such as acting, storyboarding and character sculpting, all the way to technical aspects such as rendering and lighting, compositing, topology and rigging. This course also offers choice: the final major project allows you to hone your skills and learn new technical workflows. Christel 't Hoen
