This module introduces you to the subject of traditional animation and the key historical and contemporary figures in the industry, through contextual lectures, as a design communication tool. You will also be introduced to a variety of traditional animation techniques, such as cut-out, 2D drawn, film making with puppets and models and stop motion, using industry standard software such as Dragonframe, for frame by frame capture and Adobe Premiere and Photoshop, for post production editing work, where appropriate.
The 12 principles of animation will be introduced to you, through a series of animation exercises. You will learn from simple technical demonstrations, such as camera handling, photography and lighting techniques.
Life drawing classes will also be introduced to support the drawn and model-making elements of the animation exercises and to help you to gain an understanding of the human body.
You will also learn to apply the knowledge and understanding, gained in the first half of the semester, to a creative brief which allows you to reflect on areas of strength that is; research, generate ideas, develop, manage and produce a short, but complete animation, to conclude the module and add to the portfolio of animations created in the first half of the semester, for assessment.
