Advanced Animation

This rigorous, advanced course is designed to prepare highly motivated students to become responsible enough to manage demanding and time-consuming studio work. This course will include intensive study in the production of three-dimensional and two-dimensional animation. It will include an in-depth study of theory, techniques, and philosophy of the students' animation production development. An emphasis will be placed on aesthetics, script writing, and motion. This class will provide an opportunity for the student's work to be viewed by representatives of animation studios and colleges. This course may be repeated for a maximum of 20 credits.
