ABOUT ZAA

ZAAとは

The animation major in the Department of Design at Tokyo Zokei University was founded in 2003.

 

Our goal is to help students find their own distinctive way of expressing themselves and reflect this into their works through our multifaceted and unique 4-year program. To achieve this goal, our program combines basic animation skills (croquis drawings, moving images, stereo images, and 3D computer graphics), with idea structure, planning and development, video editing, sound effect, visual design, and pantomime.

 

This website was created for you to enjoy viewing our "educational outcomes", and includes works produced by teachers and students since the founding of this major.

 

So anyone is able to view the history of our education on a permanent basis, we will enrich our recorded content too. As an archive, we will include class content, and the student journey to holding screening events, as well as the historical background behind the founding of the major.

 

We hope to share our future together with you, through Zokei Animation Archives (ZAA).
