DigiPen Academy Student Animations and Films

Applying all of the skills and techniques they have learned in the classroom, students in the Art & Animation programs tackle a series of short film projects as a part of their program coursework. In addition to showcasing their technical mastery of digital tools and artistic fundamentals, these films give students the chance to discover what it means to evoke emotion through visual storytelling and bring characters to life.

Audio plays a vital role as the sonic counterpart to the visual language of animation. Music and Sound Design students contribute to the process by scoring music that matches key story beats and informs the viewer of the emotional context of the scenes, as well as recording and designing custom sound effects that lend realism and credibility to visuals.

Altogether, it’s a collaborative process that involves a high degree of creative problem-solving and coordination across different areas of expertise.
