Our Vision

Our future is bright!

The Bristol School of Animation has a distinctive ethos and a significant reputation that has been built over many years with the help of our industry partners, students, and alumni.

Our commitment to ambitious artistry combined with craft practice as well as creative freedom and resourcefulness make our programmes a very attractive option to a wide range of students from all around the world.  Together, we are a vibrant and collaborative community.

We work across a broad range of disciplines: 2D and 2D digital, CGI, stop motion and hybrid forms of work, extending across areas such as pre-production, design, filmmaking, model making, storytelling, storyboarding, and, of course, animation. 

Our students can work individually as well as in teams and groups on personal and commercial projects. Students are encouraged to explore and play and then dive deeply into an aspect of animation, developing a range of skills that will enable them to successfully choose their own bright future. 

Our central aim is to support and nurture each student in their own specific areas of interest – helping them develop their skills, their art, their craft, and their own unique voice.
