The One Academy of Communication Design

Bringing Art to Life Through Animation, Modelling & Visual Effects

Our Digital Animation programme is designed to equip students with the creative and technical skills to thrive in the animation industry. With a strong foundation in animation principles, storytelling, and production pipelines, students will explore the full spectrum of animation while choosing one of three specialisation tracks: Animation, Modelling or Visual Effects (VFX).

Throughout the 3-year journey, students will be exposed to industry-relevant tools and workflows guided by professional mentors. Animators will dive into 2D and 3D character animation, ranging from stylised to realistic performances including creature and game animation. Modellers will master both film-quality model creation and game-ready modelling techniques. VFX specialists will explore look development, matchmoving, compositing, and FX simulation to bring cinematic visuals to life.

While each student hones their craft within their chosen specialisation, collaboration is at the heart of the final year. Together, animators, modellers, and VFX artists will team up together with our Illustration programme students to produce a full 3D animated short film, combining their strengths into a cohesive production. This real-world production experience not only builds a professional portfolio but prepares students to step confidently into the animation and entertainment industry.
