ARTS 4865 Group 3-D Animation Project

A two part summer group production exercise, this course utilizes the fundamental principles, concepts and processes of 3D animation and applies them to planning and execution of an animated piece. Students learn to work as a team on a single animated film, being provided with a concept, script and storyboard by the instructor. Students are encouraged to concentrate on particular aspects of production that they are proficient at and attracted to, such as modeling, lightning, rigging, animation, rendering, and editing, yet participate in all aspects of production. The animation process in these courses directly reflects the process of animation production at an actual professional studio, helping to prepare students for a career as a member of a professional animation staff. Skills and knowledge gained in Arts 285 and 385 are implemented. These courses will be offered during Summer Semesters I and II. Both must run in sequence. Prerequisite(s): ARTS 3850 and ARTS 4860
