In this six-hour Sophomore studio course, students will be introduced to the technical skills needed to realize a variety of animation projects launched in the co-requisite Core Seminar 4D. They will explore a range of approaches to animation including hand-drawn images, digital 2D images, and stop-motion. The course will build upon a technical understanding of proto-cinematic devices, paper-based animation leading to digital animation using Adobe software. Students will analyze and construct motion-based events and short narrative sequences using flipbooks, storyboards and animatics. Working from life and from the imagination, students will draw the figure in motion, exploring the dynamics of movement that define key principles of animation. After a series of shorter assignments, students will develop a longer narrative piece for their final project.
