ART 398 - Stop Motion Animation

Stop-Motion Animation is a course in the study and technical production of 2D multi-plane Stop-Motion Animation. Students will complete this course understanding how to apply the principles of animation to “straight ahead” Stop Motion animation, with a emphasis on animation physics and acting for animation. The projects will take students through a traditional animation pipeline from concept, to planning, storyboarding, design, and fabrication of 2D elements (flat puppets, and background elements). The class will include significant homework including weekly animation assignments and readings. Students must be comfortable using fabrication materials and tools (x-acto knives, adhesives, paint, pencils, etc).
