The Cartoon Network Animation Production course is a one-year, full-time training course delivered at the Cartoon Network Animation Academy at twofour54 tadreeb, the first of its kind in the world. The course has been designed by twofour54 tadreeb, in conjunction with its key partners, the National Centre for Computer Animation (NCCA) at Bournemouth University (UK), and Turner Broadcast Systems, Inc. (TBS, Inc). The course will deliver proven techniques and practices employed in Europe and the USA to train high-quality scriptwriters and animators from the MENA region. The course will have a local context and will provide a sound foundation for creating new animated productions that reflect the humour, culture, values and heritage within the MENA region.

who it's for:

The field of computer animation has always represented the link between art and science, and practitioners in this innovative and exciting field require a sound knowledge of both the creative and the technical processes involved. This course is designed to develop in students an interdisciplinary culture that transcends the art / science divide. It allows students to gain an informed understanding of the underlying technology and a critical understanding of the creative practices of the field.
