Animation

The curriculum at Animationsinstitut is highly diversified, covering the full spectrum from artistically sophisticated, animated films to photo-realistic effects productions and technically innovative real-time variants. Students in the various specializations work together across departments and academies to carry out hands-on projects in teamwork. Students can choose from all production and animation types in order to define their own style: Drawn animation, full CG, stop-motion, real-time animation, live action, interactive applications, VR and other techniques are all part of the curriculum. The practice-oriented workflow is central to every project realized at the institute.

Application for basic studies and for lateral entry in the third year of studies is possible until February 15 each year for a start in end of September. For more information please go to animationsinstitut.de
