Musashino University of Fine Arts does not have a special animation major. Instead, animation and other forms of art presentation with video as the carrier are integrated into the imaging discipline, that is, the imaging department.

This highly interdisciplinary setting is greatly out of everyone's concern for Japan Animation major study abroad In the video specialty of Musashino University of Fine Arts, students can learn and experience all art forms with video as the carrier, including drama, film, animation, 3DCG, interactive media, sound art, etc.

Such a highly open professional setting can be regarded as a very novel attempt in the animation academia. Musashino University of Fine Arts believes that in the current video media communication platform, no matter what form of video art is used as the carrier, it can never exist alone on a single carrier. So it is necessary to have a broad understanding of the video carrier and such a wall breaking professional setting.

In this way, students may feel a little abstract, so let's take a look at the detailed curriculum requirements of the graduate students majoring in imaging at Musashino University of Fine Arts.

Detailed course requirements for graduate students majoring in imaging at Musashino University of Fine Arts

The postgraduate courses of influence majors, while highly emphasizing the comprehensive and open compatibility of students' creative carriers, also put forward the requirements and ideas for the four elements of students' video creation, which are video, language, sound and model. And also put forward requirements for the response and feedback to current events in students' works.

But in fact, I believe that students still have doubts about such a highly open interdisciplinary curriculum. Although there are interdisciplinary elements in the animation curriculum of CalArts and RCA in the previous article, there is still the concept of animation as the framework. It is precisely because there is no carrier based framework limit that Musashino University of Fine Arts has chosen the tutor oriented teaching method for postgraduate teaching.

Different from the briskness of Japanese animation style in the popular concept, and also different from the commercialization of European and American animation, Keita Kurasaka is an independent animation director who does not participate in commercial creation at all. His personal style of animation works is obvious, the style of painting is obscure and oppressive, and he attaches great importance to the ability of hand painting.

He has his own unique understanding and interpretation of the concept of animation. He believes that the word "Animation" originates from "Anima" and also has the meaning of "bringing life". So in animation, "motion" is a vital existence. The concept of movement, in detail, is the awareness and capture of screen movement.

Professor Keitai Kurasaka believes that charming characters, drawn stories, exquisite paintings, smooth movements and soft music are the five key elements for a good animated film.
