Description

In this project course, students will produce a creative animation output, with scaffolded support from an academic supervisor. Students will work to develop a showpiece project that applies the knowledge they have acquired through a deep dive into a specialisation in an animation pipeline. They will use techniques from areas of 2D animation, 3D animation and pre/post production processes to expand their knowledge in their chosen specialist area. Finally, the students will bring together all these aspects into a 1 hour masterclass for their peers. At each stage of the process, students will be required to discuss, critique, reflect, and iterate on their own work and the work of others.
