| Course description |
A lecture and project-based course enabling students to develop skills in 2D and 3D animation, character animation, techniques of montaging live action with CGI, storyboarding and narrative, and motion capture. The approach is experimental, looking beyond high-profile animation as seen in contemporary entertainment media, and provides an opportunity to explore innovative techniques and new contexts of application, including in interaction design. |
