Description

This is a studio unit focusing on production of contemporary animation and video. Students study core strategies and production workflows for computer animation and video. They are taught industry-standard motion graphics software and video editing tools which will enable them not only to produce their own independent films, but also, to gain foundational skills to contribute and work in the creative industries. In this unit, students are exposed to the aesthetics of contemporary animation and video, through 2D and 3D animation, real-time motion graphics, generative art, expanded animation and new technologies for creation of moving images.
