Entry requirements into this course include a portfolio review and a short written task; this helps us to ensure we have a group of students that have a good set of skills and a passion for working as a digital artist or animator in the entertainment industry.
For the written task, we ask applicants to choose a specific scene or shot from a film that you feel has a substantial visual impact and discuss the visual elements and techniques used and how their use relates to the story. This task helps us to see that applicants have a passion for the art of visual storytelling. We ask for no more than a page or two of writing if possible ? less than 500 words.
For the portfolio, we are looking to see some examples of artworks (around 10 or so if possible) that demonstrate your creative talent. For example, the portfolio could include works from disciplines such as drawings and sketches, painting or fine arts, graphic and web design, animation, film/video production and photography or sculptures.
The tasks can be emailed to si3DAnimation@tafensw.edu.au along with the written task or sent as a URL if they are already online.
Stronger portfolios will usually incorporate a mix of traditional drawings, sketches or paintings and digitally created/edited examples and often include examples of observational art from real life as opposed to being all artworks from the imagination. We aren?t necessarily looking for the next Leonardo DaVinci, but some confidence in being able to pick up a pencil and sketch out ideas, characters and concepts is good to have, along with being comfortable using a variety of software and working as part of a team.
