The Character Animation Program in Autodesk Maya trains artists for the film, TV, and video-game industries. It’s split into four modules, each lasting three months. Every module includes one live session per week with your instructor and classmates from around the globe. Throughout the week you get daily feedback, plus a one-on-one video critique where we open your scene and dive deep into notes. You’ll also have tutorial videos and a Campus to share your progress with fellow students. Animation is the art of breathing life into characters—it takes time and patience, but the payoff is huge. Our grads land roles at top studios like Sony Imageworks, Disney Animation Studios, Double Negative, Digital Domain, Icon Creative Studio, Bardel Entertainment, Cartoon Network, Mattel, and Stellar Creative Lab. Check out each module’s perks and start dates, and set off on an exciting journey doing what you love!
