ANIMATION - Animation / Game Tracks The 3D Animation Track emphasizes creative concept development and technical skills in the execution of 3D animation and 3D still imagery for advertising, industrial visualization, entertainment and corporate communications. The Game Art Track emphasizes concept development for games as well as 3D art and animation skills for the computer gaming industry. Students will also learn level design and the integration of high-end 3D computer graphics with game engines in a group project environment. DIGITAL VIDEO Digital Video emphasizes concept development, storytelling, aesthetic awareness and production skills necessary for video development for entertainment, documentary, advertising, and corporate communications. Students explore concept development and storytelling methods through scriptwriting and storyboarding. Which are then complemented by technical skills in shooting, lighting, audio, editing and production techniques in both group and personal projects. All using industry standard techniques and with industry standard tools. AAS: Digital Video Certificate: Digital Video GRAPHIC DESIGN - Print / Web Track The graphic design award utilizes a balanced approach blending traditional design principles and concept development with current industry standard technical skills. Students learn fundamental skills for both print and web-interactive mediums. The Print Track allows students to emphasize concept development as applied to the print medium. While, the Web Track allows students to emphasize the unique technical and design skills required for the webinteractive mediums.
