Animation is the act of bringing to life an idea, in its most essential sense. Digital animation is a form of storytelling using digital tools. Nevertheless it has its foundation in narrative, film and graphics. It is sequentially laying out a story in time and in motion. Different methods may be used in order to create an animation since it is the interdisciplinary combination for the exhibition of different kinds of imagery and motion. But the characters, atmosphere, storyline, graphics, sound, timing and editing are the basic ingredients. This course will be covering main concepts, history and techniques related to animation in the first half of the semester. In the second half we would be working on hands-on project by doing several in-class exercises. |
