Advanced 2D Animation

CAEL3008

This unit deepens students' understanding of processes and concepts required to successfully produce a short 2D animation video. Using istop-motion, After Effects and Final cut pro software, students will develop production skills through a series of hands on exercises culminating in the production of a short 2D animation project for assessment. Screenings of historical and contemporary works will be supported by class discussion and technical introductions to encourage exploration with animation techniques. The unit provides for the development and enhancement of production skills through group and individual tutorials and critiques and the acquisition of technical skills appropriate to the assigned projects. Sound design, frame-by-frame animation, stop motion animation and other animation techniques will be explored in further depth giving students the opportunity to develop complex 2D animation productions.
