GAME ART AND ANIMATION
Game artists create all the amazing graphics in the games you love to play. They are responsible for creating the characters, environments, all the visual effects plus a range of other tasks that impact on the visual style of the game.
GAME PROGRAMMING
Programmers are the wizards of the future! Game programmers are instrumental when it comes to creating the framework, functionality and interaction in a game.
GAME DESIGN AND PRODUCTION
Game Designers are instrumental in the development of the concepts, story and implementation of game play dynamics in video game production. They are the visionaries and evangelists and are vital in the development process. AIE's Game Design and Production teachers will be providing information on the content of this course.
FILMMAKING
Discover what it takes to tell stories using film as your medium and the latest in virtual production technology. This session will provide an overview of AIE's Filmmaking course with information about the curriculum, equipment, software and practical skills students will develop in this course.
