In 1990 was created as a colaboration between the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), Middlesex University of London, Utrecht School of Arts in Holland and the Centre National de la Bande Dessinée et l'Image (CNBDI) in France. The main goal was to introduce young artists in the emerging area of computer animation.
Today any punk with a computer can claim to be a CG artist, but 15 years ago CG was more about using a megaexpensive computer to create a spinning cube on a green screen. Those guys at the Mathematics dep. at the UIB managed to get the proper hardware and started to push vertex around till the spinning cubes became walking characters.
After 15 years, the numbers are: 240 students → 240 shortfilms → 89 international prizes → 534 nominations in international festivals.
Today they are probably still the better option if you look for CG animation education in Spain.
Kudos to them.
