NM 310 - Intermediate Animation (4)

Intermediate technical, artistic and critical skills are required to create convincing character animation. Students will study the twelve principles of animation, complete exercises and perform improvisations designed to sharpen their skills as character animators. While digital (3D) animation is encouraged, following the first digital assignment, students may choose traditional (2D), digital (3D), experimental and stop-motion techniques to create their work. Students will spend time in class presenting, defending, and improving their work based on formative faculty and peer feedback. Prerequisites: CSCI 182, 183 or 185; NM 251, and either NM 231 or 281.
