Bachelor of Fine Arts (Animacija)

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Animation) involves the practical exploration, innovation and development of animated screen production. It incorporates research, idea development, screenwriting, storyboarding, character design and expression through intensive studio-based learning. It also covers a comprehensive range of animation art, craft and technical production methods, styles and outcomes.

You will have access to professional facilities and resources, including animation and stop-motion studios; rushes viewing rooms; editing, sound recording and mixing suites; 90 and 220-seat cinemas; professional production equipment; and HD digital vision and audio post-production facilities.

Animation methods include paint on glass, charcoal, sand, ink, 2D and 3D digital, stop-motion, pixilation, rotoscoping, visual effects and motion graphics, experimental film techniques, projection art and interdisciplinary collaborations.

At the Victorian College of the Arts, we are committed to providing a deep and transformative learning experience in pursuit of artistic excellence and innovation. As part of the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, we offer an absorbing, conservatoire and atelier-based education that fosters critical confidence and creative risk-taking.

In choosing to study with us, you will be welcomed by a community of practicing artists and writers, choreographers, designers, performers, actors, filmmakers, dancers and many more, all committed to the production of new work and the belief in the power of the artistic mind to effect change.

Whether you are primarily studying visual art, film and television, the performing arts, or one of the many specialisations within those areas, we encourage you to explore and experiment with other disciplines. For all of our undergraduate, graduate or short-course programs, we place a premium on the development of skill and facility.
