Upper-Division

Hands-on course introduces students to basic methods and practices in animation while exposing them to independent animation artists. Students explore techniques ranging from hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animation to object animation and pixilation. (Formerly course 131, Introduction to Animation.)

Expands on student understanding of both experimental and conventional animation techniques. Workshops in 2D drawn, stop-motion, and stop-action animation methods are combined with tutorials of the post-production process, screenings of animation examples, and critique.
