Philosophy

One person. One Film.

The Workshop has a “no house” style. In the spirit of “one person, one film”, every student is encouraged to set their own direction. This philosophy allows each filmmaker complete control over their film: its concept, purpose, content, viewpoint, art, form, audience, and value.

Films from the Workshop

range from conceptual to cartoony, from narrative to non-narrative. Any genre or medium is fair game.

All finished films belong to the filmmaker.

The UCLA Animation Workshop is committed to excellence in defining, expanding, creating, and teaching animation.

Animation is defined as the movement of created images in recorded time, allowing static painting and graphics to become a performing art.  

Animation has only two limitations: one’s imagination and exhaustion.
