The Art of Computer Animation (3D)

Advancements in technology and the boom of the VFX industry have made computer animation one of the fastest growing industries, with an estimated value of £1.6bn in the UK (source Creative UK). With animation featuring in CGI movies, live-action films, commercials, TV or video games, there are an abundance of ways to use this in-demand skill.
