The National Film School at IADT announces the 2nd NFS Animation Academy
The National Film School at IADT with the support of Bord Scannán na hÉireann / The Irish Film Board is delighted to announce the 2nd NFS Animation Academy, which will run this summer from 8th -19th July.
Designed to bridge the gap between education and industry, it will take the existing strengths and skills of final year undergraduates, recent graduates, nationally and internationally, as well as animators who want to retrain or redirect their career into a more specialised area.
Course One
(8th-12th July), "Anime Studio Pro - Production Pipeline" will be based around the teaching of the animation software, Anime Studio Pro. The goal is to bring all students to a level to be able to use this vector-based 2D programme proficiently to produce animation. The tutor is Jeremy Purcell of A Man & Ink, who has also worked as an SFX supervisor for Cartoon Saloon.
Course Two
(15th-19th July), "Post Production and Visual FX Workflows", will be partly hosted and taught by Screen Scene, The National Film School's partner in this week. It is an exciting examination of the integrated systems involved in the post-production processes for animation, with a special focus on visual FX, particularly the digital compositing software, Nuke.
For further details and application forms for both courses, please contact Adult and Continuing Education at IADT (01-239 4631) or e-mail ptc@iadt.ie.
