3D Animation March Break 2012
At this year’s March Break camp, six students collaborated with their instructors to create a simple game in just one week. The premise of the game was to demonstrate why teenager’s rooms are always so messy. The explanation? Aliens did it, of course. You play the role of a terrified alien who has suddenly appeared in an unfamiliar bedroom; use the keys specified on-screen to guide the alien’s path of destruction.
The objects in the room were all modeled and textured by students with no prior knowledge of 3d software. The students each built their own alien, but the in-game alien and the bedroom environment were provided by instructor Alex Hicks. We had a bright and hard working group of students; and we’re pleased to be able to show you their results. Brandon: Xbox, TV, Xbox Controller

Welcome to the Gaming and Animation Institute of Fredericton
The Gaming and Animation Institute of Fredericton offers two one-year programs in gaming and animation. Our 2D program is for students interested in traditional animation and drawing. 2D animation is used in games developed for Flash and animated cartoons like Family Guy. Our 3D program is for students interested in developing their 3D modeling skills. 3D animation is used in games like Halo and animated movies such as Shrek. At the end of each program student portfolios are evaluated by eMentors, who are local and international industry professionals with leading game and animation companies such as Gogii Games, Autodesk, and Pixel Liberation Front. The technical and artistic critiques from these eMentors provide valuable feedback from the real world of animation.
New Digital Photography Program for September 2012!
We are very excited about our Digital Photography Program starting next September. The program will run the same way as our animation programs. Our instructors, will teach but will also freelance to keep their skills current and we will have eMentors conduct workshops throughout the year with the students on the various fields of photography. Our eMentors will also provide valuable feedback to our students about their photography portfolios. If you are interested in applying, click here to print an application or give us a call at (506) 450-GAIF (4243) if you would like more information.
