Animation Fundamentals is a comprehensive program that introduces the student to the animation industry. Through theory & hands on training, the student will learn art fundamentals, cartooning, animation basics, stop-motion & traditional drawing “style” animation using the computer. The course also covers the history of animation as an art form along with script writing & story development. Consideration is given to the business of animation, as well as production workflow in the studio environment. The second semester places a focus on 3D computer animation & modeling. The class takes a “project” oriented approach where the students bring their own ideas to life.
Currently the software packages used are: Keynote, iStopMotion, iMovie, Garageband, Toon-Boom Studio, Animation Master & an optional advanced module for students who wish to explore using Maya.
