This course will offer students the opportunity to explore the transformation of 2D media - such as paintings, drawings, and photographs – into time based works. The class will concentrate on the translation of collage techniques into a video layering process by which independent elements can be given motion and duration. Students will learn to work with Adobe After Effects, a video compositing program, and master a workflow that goes from the creation of original 2D material to be collaged, to various options for digitizing the material, and then compositing and learning to output short looped “paintings in motion”.
