The teaching

For 25 years, MoPA has been one of the best schools for animation and 3D animation film

3D Animation Cinema MoPA - Immersive Pedagogy

An immersive pedagogy centered on projects

From scriptwriting to directing, from art direction, character and set design to the production of animations and 3D images, the entire design and production pipeline is covered in the 3D Animation Cinema and Stop Motion programs at MoPA. This integrates artistic, cinematic, and technical dimensions. Our school offers a project-centered pedagogy that exposes students to multiple experiences in both individual and team productions.

The instructors

The majority of the instructors are active professionals. Balancing their time between work in film studios and teaching, many of them alternate with students to share their skills and experience.

Internships: an immersive experience in a company

Throughout their studies, students in 3D animation and stop motion are encouraged to undertake internships in companies. Beyond the experience gained, these internships allow them to explore the animation industry and develop their professional network.

Professional tools

Students on our animated film program have access to the hardware and software used in production studios. The IT infrastructure boasts more than 250 computers, equipped with specialised software including 3DSmax, Maya, Nuke, Substance, Houdini, etc. A “render farm” is used to quickly compile the rendering of computer-generated images created by our students.
