Deep Dive into Animation Creation

It was an exciting day for the Geraldine Roche Arts Academy's Level 1 students as they ventured into the world of animation for the first time.

The aspiring artists were given the unique opportunity to engage in motion and voice capture sessions, making their debut in the animation development process.

As part of their assessment, students will work together to create a whole animation episode—an exciting task that combines creativity, technology and teamwork.

For many, this was their first hands-on exposure to animation techniques, from bringing characters to life through movement to providing voices for digital personality personas.

Animation is a new initiative within the GRAA Programme, designed to expand the skill sets of young artists and prepare them for the evolving demands of the creative industry.

By integrating motion capture and voice acting into their curriculum, GRAA aims to nurture versatile talents capable of excelling in multiple artistic disciplines.
"This is just the beginning." said one instructor. "We’re empowering these students to explore new forms of storytelling, and their enthusiasm today proves how much potential they have."
