Animation technical direction requires a balance of artistic sensibility and applied skills to support cinematic storytelling. In this course, students learn the principles of a creative 3D pipeline from modeling to rendering. Students synthesize these skills to produce appealing, stylized animations.

Animators tell stories through engaging visuals and thematic conceptual design. Focusing on the development of mood boards, style frames and color scripts, students generate projects through visual story-building techniques. Incorporating concept development and screen design skills into the production process, students devise compelling visuals to accompany their stories.

Emerging from the minds of animators, characters transform into moving pieces of art within a 2D world. Students explore the basic principles of animation, with an emphasis on analysis of actions, to develop an understanding of character performance. Combining fundamental drawing techniques with 2D animation methods, students create original moving sequences.
