AN3D 4850 - Experimental Computer Animation

Credits: 3

This senior-level filmmaking course broadens the definition of the word “animation” to include a viewpoint of the animator as artist, and an emphasis on the importance of the concepts an animator brings to explorations of frame-by-frame filmmaking. Exploration of various forms of computer animation as a means of artistic expression is encouraged by giving advanced students the opportunity to step outside the boundaries of conventional approaches to digital animation technology and art. Upon completion of the course, students will have made short films—demonstrating an expanded individual style and an ability to integrate an experimental approach when working with more conventional 2D and 3D animation production techniques.

Prerequisites: AN3D 3230 - 3D Computer Animation Motion Studies.
