These skills are transferable to any style of animation to help in all kinds of animated film production. The course is designed for applicants who already have some experience gained from attending the Young & Animated digital animation courses run at Exeter Phoenix on Saturday mornings, although this is not essential. For those moving on from the Saturday morning courses we are offering one FREE session, attend the Plus course for only £60.
