Animation

11/02/21  |  Posted by Richard Sarian  |  Posted in Continuing Education

Focus primarily on the production of two-dimensional animation, exploring storyboarding, visual development, animation and post-production. The final assignment will be a group project, where each student adds their unique voice and style to create a single animation reel. You will leave this course with a demo reel and an animated short for your portfolio. This class is highly recommended for anyone who wants a better understanding of how to create animated films or hopes to enter the animation industry.

Each day we’ll view a variety of animations and behind the- scenes DVD extras, supplementing our education on the history of popular and underground animation. Hands-on lessons will begin with animating objects to mimic the laws of natural physics through principles like “squash and stretch,” and “anticipation.

Projects

The first week of the course will focus on building students’ understanding in the basic principles of animation, including using the interface and software, and creating a sense of time, weight in their animated object. The second week of the course will introduce story-boarding, with each student pitching their idea for the final collaborative project.

Topics that will be explored include using Adobe Animate and Adobe After Effects, story-boarding, animating facial expressions and gestures and human walk cycles.
