The school offers a three-year full-time animation diploma in its two campuses, one of which is situated in Cape Town.
Basetsana Mabusela, marketing and student recruitment at the school said, “Our students consistently win top honours at various award ceremonies and the graduates at The Animation School have been employed by leading studios.”
To date, The Animation School has received over 85 international and national awards such as the South African Film and Television Award (Safta) for best student film this year.
The school is renowned for ranking in the Top 100 International Animation Schools by the Animation Career Review – ranking at its best at number 18 in 2017.
Mabusela said, “The Animation School takes pride in training graduates like Conrad Murray, who represented South Africa in his astonishing work as a CG animator in a US miniseries that won an Academy Award for best visual effects.”
At the new premises, parents and student belonging to the school were invited to come and experience the hard work put in for it to be ranked so highly in the animation education level.
