Digital Animation

Sunday, May 08, 2011    8 comments

I attended the launch of the newest course at the La Consolacion College Manila. The school, in partnership with Digimation UK, unveiled 3D courses on digital animation- including a 2-year degree and many short courses.

Filipinos are generally creative and it is no surprise that they excel in the field of animation, having been part of many hit Disney and Pixar movies. Sadly, there is not enough schools here in the Philippines that offer courses on animation... until now. LCCM is just one of the few colleges that offer this course, not to mention it is in cooperation with a major digital animation firm based in London.

Anyone who takes the course will get a certificate straight from the U.K. I interviewed Digimation CEO Dilip Amdekar. He says the animation industry is worth $50B dollars and it will continue to grow. The demand for animators will significantly rise. And Filipinos must seize that opportunity. It will not only be a venue for creative and artistic Pinoys, but it will also help the country financially. Dilip says, the the minimum pay for an animator is $30,000/year and it can reach up to $90,000/year.

The cost for the courses is around P23,000 upwards. Digimation says, thhey will teach students not just one program or one topic, but it will focus on various topics- 3D, gaming, animation, etc. The only requirement is that one has to be passionate about animation. No experience necessary. You can call the numbers below and you might just be Hollywood's next bigtime animator.

    Hi! I was wondering about the Digimation (Animation) Course. Do you have more information about its requirements & syllabus?

    I've been trying to e-mail the school several times since last week & so far, I haven't received any reply.

    Hoping for a response,

    :)
