C131 Drawing and Anatomies In this course, students continue to develop their basic drawing skills. Students will focus on rendering life forms in space. Emphasis will be placed on the basic anatomical structures of human & animal forms. Prerequisite: FND110. 3 credits C210 2D Animation C223 Camera and Lighting Techniques This course explores the various camera and lighting techniques as applied to computer animation. Discussion will cover the general concepts and principles of camera moves and lighting in computer animation. Focus will be placed on applying camera and lighting techniques to computer-generated animation. Prerequisite: C212. 3 credits C230 Advanced 2D Animation C321 Acting/Movement This course will introduce the student to the perception and rendition of movement in animation through references in the real world. The student will learn to observe and reproduce movement, human or otherwise, in a convincing manner and will transcribe those notions to the 3D and 2D environment. Prerequisite: C122 or C123. 3 credits C322 3D Character Animation This course will introduce the student to the refinement of characterization for the purpose of animation. The articulation, personality, and expressions of a character will be studied and experimented with in depth. Previous notions from 2D and 3D classes will be reiterated and applied. Prerequisites: C325, C333. 3 credits C325 Advanced 3D Modeling Students will continue to develop skills involving the principles of animation, character development, key drawings and timing charts. The main focus will be on combining shots to understand screen direction and further studies of locomotion. Prerequisite: C234. 3 credits C211 Storyboard Rendering for Animation In this course, building on the study of personality and emotion in character animation, students are responsible for organizing the elements required to finish an animated short. Prerequisite: C220. 3 credits C231 Introduction to Digital Compositing This course is an introduction to the terminology and methods involved with digital compositing. Prerequisites: C221, C222. 3 credits C232 Computer 3D Modeling and Animation III A study of 3D animation techniques using a computerized environment. Students will create their own 3D models and animate them in different situations. Prerequisite: C222. 3 credits C234 Principles of Animation This course explores design graphics for effective animated sequences through the development of storyboards. Students will utilize design, drawing and rendering skills, as well as problemsolving creativity. Prerequisite: C321. 3 credits C212 Computer 3D Modeling and Animation I An introduction to 3D computer modeling techniques. Prerequisite: FND133. 3 credits C213 Advanced Life Drawing for Animation Students will continue their application of 3D modeling and texturing techniques within a computer animation environment. Students will then create a complex character, texture it, and prepare it for animation. Prerequisite: C232. 3 credits C330 In this course students will continue to develop the figure by using the basic understructure for animation. Rotation of poses, simple motion studies, sense of weight, gesture studies, action line, and the use of light and shadows will be incorporated in the development of the figure studies. Prerequisite: C123. 3 credits C220 Intermediate 2D Animation This course is a practical survey covering the principles of animation. Animation exercises are explored and students learn to use a capture system to study and analyze the flow of movement. Prerequisites: C121, C130. 3 credits C310 Digital Ink & Paint An introduction to the development of personality and emotion in animated characters is explored. Students will produce an animation of a character expressing emotions and also will work with multiple characters to increase the level of complexity. Prerequisite: C210. 3 credits C221 Digital Editing-Video, Audio This course is an introduction to the computer as an ink and paint medium for 2D animation. Students will combine a piece of their 2D animation with a digital ink and paint software program to generate a demo-quality color animation. The basics of scanning, cleanup, ink and paint, and camera will be explored. Prerequisites: FND133, C220. 3 credits C312 Computer 3D Workshop A production course where students use 3D modeling and animation techniques to create an animation. Prerequisites: C325, C333. 3 credits C313 Digital Compositing This course explores the terminology and methods involved with digital compositing. Prerequisite: C231. 3 credits C320 Advanced Digital Ink & Paint Pre-Production Team This course will expose students to the production disciplines used in the animation and related industries. The primary components of the course will be a thorough review of all preproduction activities and project management. Students will participate in production teams and will focus on planning all aspects of an animation production. They will work as a functioning production team for in-house projects for non-profit organizations. Prerequisites: C230, C313, C333, C412. 3 credits C332 Advanced Software This course explores the features and functions of digital editing systems and their use to manipulate video and audio. The student will use digital non-linear editing systems to output their projects. Prerequisite: FND133. 3 credits C222 Computer 3D Modeling and Animation II A lecture and workshop course in which the student will apply information from the lectures and texts to complete projects involving 3D modeling, surfacing, lighting, animating and rendering using a high-end 3D modeling and animation software. Prerequisite: C232. 3 credits C333 Advanced 3D Textures Students will continue their study of material and animation techniques using a 3D computerized environment. Prerequisite: C212. 3 credits Building on what was previously taught, students will learn techniques used to create complex realistic textures and maps for advanced 3D models. Prerequisite: C232. 3 credits This course is an advanced study of a digital ink and paint software program. The student will focus on the advanced applications of the ink and paint and camera stand operations combined with their 2D animation to complete a demo-quality color animation. Prerequisite: C310. 3 credits 52
