This program is one of a kind
since it teaches our students all that is related to animation and
visual effects, including the use of cameras, computers, software,
foam latex, effects makeup and much more.
When our students finish their BA,
they are prepared to, not only provide artistic services, but to
offer full solutions to solve most of the challenges that the
industry presents.
Since we have the commitment to
help you to be one the best artists in the field, WEFIS admits only
24 persons per year for this program.
Course Outline
The first year of this
program takes our students through different art foundation
subjects such as perspective drawing, screenwriting, cinematography, history of Art,
2D animation, 3D modeling, Life Drawing and more.
On their second year, students will learn
advanced Vector, Character and
3D animation using Maya and Flash. It is during this period that they
complete their first demo reel, which is a
one minute short film using several 3D software tools.
The third year of this program has our students use
all the knowledge they have already aquired in the first two years
and teaches them how to apply it in order to develop special effects by modeling in the real
world using foam latex and stop motion animation and effects
makeup. Then, students migrate to the digital realm of visual
effects, and learn how to rotoscope, animate, composite, and
matchmove using tools such as Maya Live and After Effects, and
finally, they learn how to use MOCAP to apply precaptured animation to 3D models.
Once they have graduated, our students will have one
3D animation reel, one Special Effects portfolio and one Visual
Effects reel. This will help them demonstrate their advance skills
in the art of Animation and VFX, and to knock with confidence at the
doors of the best studios in the world.
WEFIS Animation school will only take 18 students
per year for this study program, so people who are interested in it
are advised to apply at least three to four months before it begins.
Dates: Program starts each year in September.
Duration: Three Years
