The South Seas Diploma in Animation production course is designed to give students practical 2D and 3D animation production skills, combining creative and technical applications for vocational outcomes.
The course is run in close association with the animation industry and is taught by experienced industry professionals.
Students are trained by some of New Zealand’s foremost industry practitioners in character animation, design, directing, layout, storyboarding, editing, lighting and script-writing, using cutting edge film and television production facilities at South Seas. These include the animation studio, fully equipped computer labs, editing and audio recording suites, and lecture facilities.
In the first year students get 'hands on' practical and intensive training in the fundamental skills of animation using 2D and 3D. This comprehensive foundation is focussed on the application of techniques used in character animation, visual effects, and moving image.
During the second year the focus shifts to the complete animation production process. Students explore in much greater depth, animation techniques, creative development, directing and practical skills involved in producing animation.

KERRI ROGGIO | 2009
Straight after graduation in December 2009, Kerri picked up work as Assistant Editor on the feature film The Insatiable Moon. “This was a low-budget film and my role was unpaid,” says Kerri. “But proving that taking unpaid jobs often leads to paid work, the editor of The Insatiable Moon, Paul Maxwell, is now editing a TV movie produced by Screentime and he has offered me a paid position as his Assistant Editor. Editing is awesome and I can't wait til I've learned enough to edit a feature of my own.” |
