Animation
The Animation Program prepares professionals to design, develop and implement audiovisual products using different animation techniques.
Animation is a fast-growing field, driven by the rapid development of technology, especially of visual media, and can be applied to various settings (2D and 3D) and supports. It consists of the total or partial application of movement to visual media productions.
The graduate will be in charge of the animation development process, making use of tools and techniques appropriate for this purpose. Animation professionals currently stand out in the market for their mastery of both traditional media production techniques and cutting-edge computerized and digital technologies, which have become indispensable in the industry.
The program curriculum includes theoretical courses that give support to projects and provides students with a solid and consistent foundation for the academic career and the job market.
The job market for animation designers features numerous opportunities within the growing landscape of animation festivals both nationally and internationally. Besides working independently, designers can find positions in over 350 agencies across Brazil dedicated to animated cinema, music video production, game animation, advertising, web animation, and digital design.
In addition to working independently, in personal offices or in more complex and broader situations, which require deeper technical knowledge in related fields such as computer science, engineering and communication, animators may also work as members of interdisciplinary project teams, offering a comprehensive perspective and contributing with the generation of concepts and solutions and with the design and development of formal and communication elements involved in animation.
