The history of animation is intertwined with the development of cinema and television; it stretches from the early days of the zoetrope, through the ground-breaking work undertaken at Disney, to the use of digital technology and computer generated imagery (cgi) work and developments in the convergent new industries of new media, games and digital television are likely to have great impact and influence on the field; whilst alongside developments in computer and telecommunication technologies, the growth and convergence of these sectors have led to new business models and niche industries; these have implications for animation and computer generated imagery production in Europe in terms of content creation, games production and interaction elements; consequently the philosophy of the course (which is entirely oriented towards modern creative industrial needs, technology and practice) is to introduce students not just to the use of industry standard software and hardware (but also to focus on generic techniques combined with a solid theoretical and conceptual core which will enable graduates to contribute immediately, to cope and adapt to changes in both technology and business models) and also be active in innovating in the field.
