PREPARED BY:

SARAIZA KHAIRUL IKRAM

SCHOOL OF MULTIMEDIA
FACULTY OF ART & DESIGN

SYNOPSIS

Students will be exposed to the 3D animation creation concept, the method

to produce interesting special effects, understand the technical methods to
produce animation work, and the work environment required to complete
animation work efficiently and manageably.
Individual exposures are given to the students, after which they can explore
their own creativity, and combined it with the tools of the 3D software.
