H56.0041 Studio 4 Credits
Course Level: Introductory
One of the Freshman Core Production selections, but open to students at all levels.
A beginning course that concentrates on the basic techniques of animation; it is also the main prerequisite for entry into all the other animation courses. Class exercises explore a variety of techniques, materials, design, and writing for animation. Techniques include flip book, clay, collage, and drawing from the model. All work is tested on video, followed by 16mm color film. Please note that you do not have to "know how to draw" in order to take this course. The course will demonstrate how drawing and graphics relate. At the end of the semester each student will have an edited, two-minute reel of his or her successful animations and experiments.
