Prerequisite: Action Analysis I(H56.1328) or permission of instructor. Recommended for students studying both animation and live action.
A further development of Action Analysis I. Students will learn how to put individuality and personality into characters, how to create a "thinking" character using both traditional and CGI animation. Frame-by-frame studies of live action and animation on film, DVD and laserdisc allow students to explore techniques and stylistic signatures of professional animators (e.g., Chuck Jones, Bill Tytla, Otto Messmer, Tissa David). There will also be sketching of human and animal models. Assigned student tests on video will focus on expressing emotions in animation.
