2D ANIMATION

Course Description

This course prepares students for the design profession by providing opportunities to undertake project-based design briefs specific to their major studies in Graphic Design or Web Design or Motion Graphics. This course also allows students to study classically trained animated films to gain a fundamental and functional understanding of two of the major 2D digital animation software packages available: Flash and After Effects. Students will work in a simulated production environment to create a short animated film. Following their short films, students learn more about the After Effect interface through an exercise in which they create and animate a character. Lessons consist of lectures and computer laboratory applications.
