| Description | Animation is an art of transformation, of metamorphosis, of
amalgamation. Animation is both anti-technology and hyper
digital. Animation is subversive, magical, and expansive. In this
course, students will be introduced to an array of foundational
animation ideas and techniques. Students will gain hands-on
experience with stop motion animation, hand drawn animation, 2d
digital animation, sound recording, and hybrid analog/digital
techniques. The course will include screenings and discussion,
technical demos, studio work, and critique. We will use the
following gear and software: Digital cameras, smartphones, sound
recorders, Dragon Frame, Adobe Premiere, Animate, and Photoshop.
Animation can be a time-consuming process, please plan to spend
at least 8 hours per week working outside of class. Some weeks
this will be less, often it will be more. Students will need an
external hard drive for this course. |
