Content

Students learn the essentials of character animation by bringing 3D objects and characters to life. They discover how to craft simple animations, and then learn how these animations can be easily layered and tweaked to create ever more sophisticated motions. There will be a focus on exploring the language and principles of animation, through careful analysis of movement, timing, performance and narrative elements.
