Introduction to Animation

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the essentials of storytelling in animation: hand- drawn and computer-generated 2D, stop-motion, 3D-modeling, storyboards and more. Through screenings of animated films, episodic television and more experimental shorts, students will explore the aesthetics, historical contexts and current trends of the medium. They’ll apply this knowledge towards the production of their own shot films, including experiments in hand-drawn, stop motion and computer-generated animation.
