In Digital Media Design’s Video and Motion Graphics program, students will learn the art of motion graphic design and animation. Students will also learn visual storytelling and the technical aspects of video production including shooting, lighting, editing, audio, colour correction, and compositing.
Combining design fundamentals, animation principles, videography, technical workflow, and creative storytelling, this program will train students to become motion graphic designers, animators, documentary and narrative filmmakers, compositors, editors, and shooters. Near the end of the program, there is a three-week work placement in which students will work full time in the industry.
Students must first complete the one-year DMD certificate program, or equivalent, before entering this program.
Digital Media Design certificate students interested in video and motion graphic design can choose to enter the Digital Media Design diploma program.
