The teaching

For more than 20 years, MoPA has been recognised as one of the best schools for cartoons and 3D animated films.

Project-based teaching

From the script to direction, art direction, character and set design to the production of animations and 3D images, the entire design and production chain is covered in the MoPA animation course. It combines, artistic, cinematographic and technical skills. Our school offers a project-based teaching, which confronts students with multiple individual and team production experiences.

Lecturers

The majority of lecturers are working professionals. Dividing their time between work in the studios and teaching, many of them take turns in passing on their skills and experience to the students.

Internships: an immersive experience in a company

Throughout their studies, cartoon and 3D animation students are required to do internships in companies. Beyond the experience they gain, these internships allow them to discover the animation industry and develop their network.

Professional tools

The students of our animation course have access to the hardware and software used in production studios. The computer park has more than 200 computers, equipped with specialized software such as 3DS Max, Maya, Nuke, Substance, Houdini... A “render farm” is used to quickly calculate the rendering of computer-generated images created by our students.
