Wednesday 27th June 2007

TAFE NSW - North Coast Institute, Lismore Campus is now accepting applications for a new course in 2D animation.

John Stewart, Head Teacher for the Arts and Media Faculty at the Lismore Campus, says that the emphasis on introductory skills in the course means that it will suit beginners as well as current film makers, actors, artists and writers who wish to develop skills in animation.

“A focus on drawing skills and rough animation will introduce students to industry-relevant aspects like storyboarding, digital still camera operation and 2D digital animation production,” says Mr Stewart.

“Because of this industry relevance, I believe this Introduction to Animation course offers real long term career advantages to people interested in getting involved in the animation Industry,” says Mr Stewart.

Lismore Campus Manager, Garry Smith says “As the leading provider of vocational education on the North Coast, the North Coast Institute is focussed on career outcomes and this course is a good example of this approach – it provides students practical and applicable skills and pathways in the fast-growing animation Industry”.

The course will run for 2 days per week for 12 weeks from August until October. Applications close on July 31 and for more information contact John Stewart on 66230218 or john.stewart@tafensw.edu.au or contact the Customer Service Centre on 131 601.
