Ringling College Computer Animation

The Department of Computer Animation at Ringling College of Art and Design
We’re so incredibly proud of this year’s senior class and the amazing work they’ve created. Every film reflects a unique voice, with original characters, worlds, and styles that feel fresh, personal, and inspiring. And NO generative A.I. was used in creating them. We’ll be sharing a few livestream opportunities next week so everyone can celebrate these films together. More info coming soon!

It's been a busy month for Computer Animation at Ringling!
We kicked things off with Alan Hawkins (Director at Sony Pictures Animation and Animation Director on Across the Spider-Verse and Mitchells vs. the Machines) hosting a live AMA on campus.
Hamilton Lewis (Head of Creative/Sr. Visualization Supervisor at The Third Floor) returned as our visiting artist for senior Layout critiques, giving in-depth feedback on every senior project.
Animation legend Aaron Blaise (Disney) stopped by to screen his stunning traditionally animated short, Snow Bear.
And, this past weekend, we had a live animation demo by Scott McWhinnie (Disney, Illumination, Sony, Blue Sky).
