ART 461

Animation and Digital Space is an advanced exploration of the rich potential of animation, digital motion graphics and 2.5D digital environments as viable art mediums in contemporary art practice. This course will use a combination of live video capture, still imagery, green screening, rotoscoping, masking and digital animation techniques to manipulate, collage and build 2.5D digital spaces, concepts and/or narratives using After Effects. Following a sequence of technically-based exercises and thematic lectures, each student will create two to three advanced projects that use the skills and concepts introduced in class.
