Outcomes

13 routes mapped from this qualification.

Video producer / YouTube creator
own audience, own economics
Common route
Game design
art + systems thinking
Common route
Freelance design & video editing
Design and video editing sold job by job rather than through an employer. Open without a degree, genuinely paid on skill and reliability - and far harder to start than the people selling courses in it admit.
Common route
Motion graphics / 3D artist
remote global clients
Common route
Animator
Creates motion and performance for characters, objects or information across film, games, advertising and digital media.
Common route
Animation & VFX
studios, games, OTT pipelines
Common route
Compositor
Combines live footage, 3D renders, matte paintings and effects into a single finished shot, and is usually the last person to touch it. Precision with edges, colour and grain is the whole discipline.
Alternative route
Character Modeller
Sculpts and builds the 3D characters that animators later move, working from concept art to a rigged, textured model. A specialist craft within animation and games, judged entirely on showreel.
Alternative route
Game Artist
Produces the art a game runs on - characters, environments, props, UI - within the technical budget the engine allows. Working to polygon and texture limits is what separates game art from film art.
Alternative route
VFX Artist
Produces visual effects for film, OTT and advertising. Concentrated in major studios serving international productions.
Alternative route
Freelance Animator
Animates on a project basis for studios, agencies and direct clients rather than on a payroll. Income is irregular and depends on a showreel, a network and the discipline to chase invoices.
Alternative route
Motion Graphics Designer
Animates type, logos, charts and illustration for advertising, television, explainer video and social media. A different craft from character animation, closer to graphic design that moves.
Alternative route
Art director
senior agency role
Alternative route
