Animation: Motion Design

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This class is an intermediate course that explores experimental, traditional animation, and motion graphics practices through exercises using 2D digital techniques (eg. AfterEffects, Cinema4D, Procreate Dreams, TVPaint). Each week will consist of a lecture, screening of related works, and a lab. By the end of this course students will be able to execute short animated, motion-designed, and VFX pieces, visually express both abstract concepts and conventional narratives, and identify how animation principles affect all animated work be it digital or analog, independent or commercial, refined or rough. Students are expected to play, take risks and work outside their comfort zones.
