Rigging Programs
 

            Hello there, Beginner Riggers! This is CR Rescue pet from myfirstrescuepet.blogspot.com. When I saw Beginner Rigger, I just knew I had to contribute by letting you all know about two great colleges that some of my friends currently attend and love where you can learn more about rigging. Let us know if either of these are your colleges, or perhaps where a friend attends, and what you think.

            Full Sail University, located in fun-loving sunny central Florida, offers courses in basic rigging, character rigging, and in many other areas of digital animation.  Full Sail is dedicated to turning out artists ready to secure competitive and creatively fulfilling positions in the entertainment industry.  As Full Sail’s fast-paced academically rigorous degree programs are set up to help you earn a four year degree in as little as two years, there is little room for failure, and students note that it is difficult to pursue other interests or have an outside job while pursuing a degree at Full Sail. As entertainment related degrees are the only programs offered at Full Sail, and their two year program gets students through quickly with little room for non-major related content, it is an ideal university for riggers who are serious about their studies and certain that they want to be out and rigging professionally as quickly as possible. Notable alumni riggers have been successfully involved in many well-known projects including the Call of Duty videogame series, Pixar films such as Finding Nemo and Ratatouille, and the Harry Potter films.

             Known for small classes and generous financial aid packages and rated one of America’s Best Kept College secrets, Santa Fe University of Art and Design offers a Digital Arts program focused on preparing student artists for the entertainment industry. Their program offers a comprehensive approach, including both 2D animation foundations, as well as photography, along with traditional 3D animation instruction. Santa Fe University of Art and Design hopes that this interdisciplinary approach will help produce well rounded artists as well as competitive career animators. Their Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Arts focuses more on creative expression, which can often go neglected. It is truly a fine arts degree you are obtaining, focusing on buildingblocks such as storytelling and illustration. Santa Fe University of Art and Design prides itself on being a school of creative freedom, collaboration, and craftsmanship. The school, however, does not lose sight of the ultimate goal of graduate employment, and therefore offers instruction in web publishing and encourages students to make their work felt in the art-hungry Santa Fe community and marketplace.
