The School of Film and Digital Media at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) prepares talented students for careers with the world's top film studios by teaching aspiring animators to master the world's most-advanced animation technology using AMD's Mobility FireGL™.
"At its core, the art of animation combines craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology to really bring art to life," says Patricia Beckmann, who oversees 15 professors and up to 400 students who work on 600 different workstations. "The skills of the animator are certainly vital, but the right technology is critical in giving 3D pictures a realism that really wows an audience. The AMD FireGL graphics technology consistently meets or exceeds our high standards and expectations for performance and reliability."
