Looking to hone your animation skills? Animation Skillnet have a great new opportunity to help you kick-start the new year! They're currently seeking applicants for the pilot of their new Animation Studio Lab Programme 2019.

The Animation Studio Lab is open to graduates and returners aiming to develop specialist skills in the 2D animation pipeline by teaming them up with an up-and-coming animation director to produce a short film.

Applicants can nominate one of four specialist areas within animation production when applying:

- Storyboarding

- Animation

- Art & Backgrounds

- Compositing

The Animation Studio Lab is not attached to any studio and is designed to deliver specialist training in a real-world environment. Successful participants will receive training in their chosen area and will be guided through a real-world animation production scenario, working as part of a production team to deliver a short film.

The programme will start Monday, 14th January and will run for between 8-12 weeks operating Monday to Friday from 10 am to 4 pm. Participants are required to attend set workshops, tutoring and coaching sessions, with the remaining time set for studio practice.

Deadline for applications for the programme is Monday, 7th January 2019, so if you want in, get cracking and click HERE to apply!
