AN 3270 - Stop Motion Animation

In this course students will explore traditional stop motion animation techniques. Students will create the illusion of movement by moving characters or objects in small increments, taking photos of each individual move. Each photo will be pieced together at 24 frames per second to create short form, simple animations. Through this course, students will build their own models and environments, experimenting with a variety of lighting techniques and camera angles. Focus will also be placed on the creation of character models using wire, clay, fabric, foam and other found materials. (4 Credits)
