A portrait of Swann, a 3rd-year student at the 3D MoPA film animation school

A few years ago, while attending the annual screening of the top productions at the famous Roman Theatre of Arles, Swann heard about the MoPA Film Animation School – especially about the student-directed films! One 3D animated film sticks out in his mind called Garden Party, which won awards at several film festivals.

Since Swann started attending MoPA's 3D film animation school, he’s had a chance to work on a range of areas:

• In the first year, he studied fine arts like drawing, painting and sculpture
• In the second year, he acquired basic skills in 3D animation software
• He learned to become an advanced user of 3D animation software in his third year

In his three years at MoPA, Swann has really enjoyed directing a number of 3D short films both alone and with a team.

“Try to master the fine arts as much as you can because they are the fundamentals of 3D animation!”
