A group of 4 pupils from our senior school commenced work on their Level 1 Animation course at The Marion Centre of Excellence in town. They will receive specialised support from tutors who work in the film and TV industry using the amazing facilities in this newly renovated centre.
Week 1 saw the the pupils learning the basics of animation and worked on developing story boards for their project. It was amazing to work together with new friends from St. Gerard’s and Harberton North. We can’t wait to see how their skills develop over the coming months.
Week 2 was led by our tutor, Joel Simon, an award winning commercial animator based in Belfast. He gave the pupils a real insight into the life of an animator and the processes behind some of his most famous works. He then coached the pupils through their first taste of digital 2D animation. They were all buzzing with the experience and can’t wait for next week.
