The goal of the Animation study program is the education and training of dramaturgically oriented artists, animators and directors for all types and genres of animated creation, classic or computer-generated, advertising and music video-clips, as well as other related products. Teaching of the Animation study program is provided by the Animation Department in full-time bachelor and master studies as well as full- time or external Doctoral studies.
The Animation Department tradition is oriented to training the non-commercial artistic production of student films. Our graduates are schooled so that their work will create a counterbalance to the flood of kitsch that is extremely successful in the animation environment. Students are guided towards a mastery of various technologies and genres and to artistic design inside and outside the cinematography environment. A number of our graduates are successfully involved in book illustration, the artistic and spatial resolution of interactive exhibitions for children, work in advertising, designing virtual computer games or the design of web sites. For this reason, the study program is oriented towards the greatest possible degree of diversity.
The student of the Master’s level of the study program builds on experience from the Bachelor’s level. Whereas in the Bachelor’s level emphasis was placed on the mastery of character animation, on the Master’s level, the ability to write and create a completed animated audio-visual work will be added to these dispositions. The student, in the performance of the profession of a director – animator – artist, is guided towards applying knowledge and practical experience with a high degree of individual creativity and authorship.
