ACTING FOR ANIMATION- CHARACTER AWARENESS-THE STUDY OF ANIMATION THROUGH MORE DETAILED BODY MECHANICS INTRODUCES ACTING, CHARACTER AWARENESS, THINKING AND DEALING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT TO STRENGTHEN CONTENT BELIEVABILITY. STORY/VISUAL LANGUAGE ADVANCES TO DEAL WITH THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CINEMATIC IMAGE, ACTING AND STORY STRUCTURE WHILE STORYBOARDING ASSIGNMENTS PREPARE YOU FOR TERM 3 ASSIGNMENTS AND TERM 4 DEMO PROJECTS. LIFE DRAWING CONTINUES, ADVANCING BODY CONSTRUCTION AWARENESS AND DYNAMIC POSING. IN MAYA CLASS, ORGANIC MODELING IS TAUGHT USING EXISTING CHARACTER MODELS, BUILDING CLOTHING, HAIR AND PROPS THAT WILL SUPPORT YOUR STORYTELLING EFFORTS THROUGH CHARACTER ANIMATION. 4

UNIT 5

UNIT 6

THE TERM IS FOR HONING CHARACTER ANIMATION SKILLS WHILE CREATING YOUR CHARACTER ANIMATION DEMO REEL. HARMONY CLASSES INTRODUCE SOFTWARE COMPONENTS SPECIFIC TO YOUR FILM PROJECT. LIGHTING AND RENDERING ARE TAUGHT IN THE MAYA COURSE TO HELP ENHANCE THE VISUAL PRESENTATION OF YOUR DEMO REEL PROJECT, AS WELL AS PROVIDING VISUAL POLISH ON PREVIOUS ANIMATION ASSIGNMENTS. LIFE DRAWING ADVANCES BODY CONSTRUCTION AWARENESS AND DYNAMIC POSING TO HELP STRENGTHEN YOUR ANIMATION POSES. YOU ALSO EXPLORE ARTISTIC EXPRESSION THROUGH LINE AND PROPORTION.

UNIT 7
