Allows digital animators and filmmakers to fully develop advanced skills and large scale/longer format projects, drawing from a combination of techniques including: green screen, 2D particle systems, mattes, rotoscoping, sound sync, 2D character set up and animation, hand-drawn/frame-by-frame, 3D integration, digital cut-out animation, and/or live-action compositing. Relies primarily on After Effects, particularly exploring its 2D/3D/effects capabilities; Maya; Photoshop; Final Cut; Toon Boom and other programs may also be utilized as necessary. Draws upon a canon of films to observe successful techniques that can be applied in computer work, and also to develop sensitivity to the artistry of moving images, cinema and storytelling.
