This course provides a more expansive insight into the conceptual and visual possibilities of animation. Students will develop a resolved and integrated creative work in animation. In addition to the techniques explored in Animation: creative possibilities, typical areas of investigation at this level include, but are not restricted to, the following processes: character modelling, character rigging, character animation and deformers. These processes may be implemented in a 2D computer animation, stop-frame animation or 3D computer animation, as per student preference. Occupational Health and Safety instruction is included.
