Education
New London School. At
the London Effects and Animation Festival (LEAF) in November, a new professional
animation training program was launched by Central Saint Martins College
of Art and Design, the Guild of British Animation and FOCUS Central London,
the training and enterprise program. The 24-week, intensive course, known
as The London Animation School, is based on a foundation of one-on-one
mentoring which will include weekly, individual sessions in which each
student will meet with a representative from a local animation company.
Individuals may choose from three paths of study: traditional drawn animation,
computer animation using Softimage, or computer animation using Alias/Wavefront.
The first session will run from January through July 1998. Successful completion
of the course will give graduates a BTEC Professional Development Award.
Jerry Hibbert, who is playing a key role in the program's development as
chairman of the Guild of British Animation, says of the program, "It
is controlled by industry for industry, and it is anticipated that the
course will become [a] natural source for U.K. animation talent."
