The Film Course will put you through your paces.  With intensive training in everything from script breakdowns to camera & lighting, through to filming and post production. With professional mentorship and masterclasses throughout the week. 

The Animation Course will give you an opportunity to stretch your drawing muscles and get a fully animated workout!  Learn new techniques, create portfolio work and online group projects with your fellow animators.  All with mentorship from some great industry professionals. And we are in the hometown of four time Oscar nominated Cartoon Saloon, so you never know who might drop in to say hello and share some wisdom…
