ANOMALIA has been selected to be among the TOP 100 schools in the world

The author writes: I think it is important to recognize that animation education never stops. And it certainly doesn’t end after a 4-year degree. Working in the animation industry means constantly learning; learning new tools, new plugins, new techniques. ANOMALIA, a professional training and 3D animation network, caters to exactly this style of learning. It may be a little strange to add unaccredited ANOMALIA to this list but their summer courses and video teaching sessions are beyond reproach. This isn’t a rinky-dink set of courses though, their guest lecturers and teachers are veterans in the industry who work for institutions and studios like Animation Mentor, Pixar (multiple teachers) and Les Gobelins. Their courses include subjects like Pantomime for Animators, Studio Pipeline and Character Design for 3D.

LONG TERM GOAL

ANOMALIA is our initiative to long-term development of modern animation in Central and Eastern Europe. Subjects and skills taught correspond to the need of skills in the animation industry and our region. We are filling out the gap between classical animation schools and modern productions. We designed our course as an extra semester for students with classical training in 2D animation and/or general multimedia programs to further expand their professional skills in the area of modern 3D character animation filmmaking. So the courses are mainly focused on classical animators, animation and multimedia students and young 3D professionals that would like to get into 3D character animation and/or get more advanced but do NOT have such opportunity in their region.

We believe ANOMALIA helps classical artists to be employable in todays world, giving them extra high-end touch to their skills set. These traditional artists also bring new creativity into 3D as we hope. We also aim to support 3D professionals in their expert growing by providing additional, shorter and more advanced courses that always follow up the main character animation course.

Our intensive and on-site personal training offers a very unique summer experience, personal networking and professional lectures, inspirational and calm environment for dedicated learning and opportunity to meet the best animators in person. We believe in such personal concept to be one of the best opportunities and methods to learn, network, get inspired and have fun together with people with same passion for professional animation. So with this respect ANOMALIA is really not a standard school, nor should our courses feel that way. Many artists that have already joined us in the past really value such opportunity, quality and nice summer time spent with ANOMALIA, because it does not feel like an average school but rather a unique „experience“. And we are glad the number of happy campers is growing each year.
