The Los Angeles Film School Announces Two New Degrees

The Los Angeles Film School is now accepting applications for limited seating for two new Associate of Science Degree Programs in Game Development and Computer Animation, with classes set to start in September 2008.

The Associate of Science in Game Development program takes students through the process of creating a video game from the initial stages of game structure and preproduction, to advanced coding, artificial intelligence, and game engine creation. The program is modeled after real game industry procedures, and the final project is a complete playable video game.

Students in the Associate of Science in Computer Animation program learn the animation pipeline used throughout the industry to create art for games, special effects for television and movies, and animated feature films. The program starts by teaching students the principles of traditional animation and character design, before progressing to more advanced computer animation techniques. Students use advanced modeling software to create virtual models, characters, and visual effects for a variety of multimedia applications, and collect their best work into an industry-ready portfolio at the conclusion of the program.
