描きたい、動かしたい、見てほしい。その欲望は、未来を変えるかもしれない。映像・アニメーション専攻

As a "comprehensive art"
Develop the ability to create images.

In recent years, the number of situations in which video creators are active has been expanding. In this major, students learn the basics of video production in their first and second years, and begin making full-scale video works in their third year. When their work is projected onto the screen, they feel great joy and are inspired to take on further challenges.

Video production is hard (laughs).
But I can't help but forget that.
There is joy.

Nowadays, anyone can easily make a video. But when you really try to make a video, there are more hardships than fun. But when you successfully put your feelings into the video or someone praises you, you want to make it again as if nothing had gone wrong. The more time and effort you put in, the greater the joy. I want everyone to experience this joy.Jun WadaProfessor

My goal is to become a video creator
Find,
To get closer to the ideal
I'm doing my best.

Otemae University is a place where you can challenge your potential to the fullest. In the Video and Animation major, the more specialized knowledge I learn, the more I understand the mechanisms of the video media out there and the aims of the direction, and I can now enjoy works that I had only vaguely found attractive from a much more diverse perspective than before I enrolled. By cultivating such observational skills and production techniques, I feel that the appeal of this major is that it allows me to not stop at my admiration, but to develop the potential to surpass that admiration through various artistic methods.

Did you know that it is said that "film is a comprehensive art"? This is because a single film work requires a lot of effort, such as the planning ability to choose a subject and set a theme, the compositional ability required for scriptwriting and directing, and the technical and expressive skills required for drawing, filming, and editing. In this class, the instructors will utilize their areas of expertise to provide guidance and support so that students can acquire a wide range of skills. However, it is the students themselves who create the work from start to finish. The sense of accomplishment when a satisfactory work is completed is irreplaceable. We welcome the participation of those who are serious about the world of film and animation.

Over the past decade, the environment surrounding content has evolved dramatically, with video shooting and video distribution using smartphones. Because it is so easy to shoot, we want students to experience the difficulty and fun of "communicating a theme." The course content follows the basic flow of filmmaking, from planning, scriptwriting, preparation for filming, filming, editing, and completion. Since it is a drama production, you will also perform as an actor. Through this class, you will not only learn the basics of filmmaking, but also the importance of teamwork, the difficulties of going from imagination to creation, and the fun and sense of accomplishment.
