10-Second Film

Catalog description

This course will focus on making quick and short animated films as a way of exploring multiple concepts and artistic approaches. Students will produce 6 to 7 films per semester, using a variety of mediums. Emphasis will be placed on learning how to convey ideas and experiences in simple and creative ways and giving many inspirations -rather than just one- cinematic form over the course of the term. Students are encouraged to improve their craft while taking risks and breaking “rules.” Work will be produced outside the classroom and supported by weekly critiques, screenings and readings.
