NEW PROGRAMME! BACHELOR OF ARTS (HONS) DIGITAL ANIMATION

Introducing the Digital Animation Programme!

Digital Animation is a fast expanding and exciting field in Malaysia. Malaysian animated films have been given international recognition in particular the blockbuster hit movie Upin and Ipin, Saladin and Geng: The Adventure Begins. The latest movie titled Seafood has been very positively reviewed by local and international film critics. The government recognizing the potential of this industry has established the Multimedia Creative Content Centre to provide co-production opportunities for animation and other digital content creation initiatives.

Digital Animation is a specialized field that encompasses production of both 2D and 3D animation films or videos using the computer. Animation involves a variety of techniques which can be created digitally on a computer. 2D animation is the creation of moving pictures in a two-dimensional environment through computerized animation software. 2D animation can be a simple animated line drawing to a more complex cartoon style production. For example almost all the early Walt Disney cartoons were in 2D format. An example of a popular 2D animation film is the Simpson?s. 3D, like the latest Malaysian movie Seafood and the earlier Upin and Ipin are done by pre-modeling the characters, which are much like puppets. They have an internal 'bone structure' which allows for more realistic movement.
