Prerequisite: Modeling I for Animation CE-DGART 2095PE Mon., Jan. 6-Apr.14(skip1/20), 2025, 6:30-9:30pm. Animation II–42 Hrs As a continuation to Animation I, students will now look at creating basic rig setups to more advanced rig setups for characters and assets. Towards the end of this course, the class will focus on the importance of posing and body mechanics for animation. Prerequisite: Animation I CE-DGART 2096PE Wed., Jan.15-Apr.16, 2025, 6:30-9:30pm. MODULE III Animation III–42 Hrs As a continuation to Animation II, students will learn about creating storyboards, animatics, and creating an animation based on their own stories. Each student will create a mini 15-second animation with a pre-rigged character of choice. Students will also focus on the importance of using reference. They will be recording their own live video reference to help with timing and posing for their animations.
