Intermediate Studio: Experimental Hybrid Film - Video and Animation

Catalog description

Digital production and post-production technologies have made hybrid moving images that combine live action, animation and image processing ubiquitous. Collage aesthetics and processes are present even in moving image media that appear naturalistic. While developing proficiency in Adobe After Effects and other production and post production tools, students explore the experimental world-building and storytelling possibilities of hybrid moving image media production. The course is structured around technical tutorials and workshops, screenings/discussions, and the creation of hybrid films combining animation, live action, and 2D/3D art. Artists whose work we will look to for inspiration include Yuge Zhou, Shana Moulton, Tabita Rezaire, Rachel MacLean, Chitra Ganesh, Jee Young Lee, Sondra Perry, Miwa Matreyek, Saya Woolfalk, Jacolby Satterwhite, Nunavut Animation Lab, Alex DaCorte, Grace Nayoon Rhee, Nam June Paik, Wangechi Mutu, Joo Young Choi, Cecile B. Evans, Ryan Trecartin, Oskar Fischinger, Karel Zeman, Sin Wai Kin, Winston Hacking, Russ Murphy (RUFFMERCY), Jordan Belson and many others.
