In this course students will create a short animated film using the class as a resource for discussion and critique. They will be introduced to a variety of storytelling structures such as: the 3 act story, universal themes and conceptual abstract narrative. Through historic and contemporary examples of short film, students will examine the relationship between narrative and medium. Students will develop and produce experiential time-based narratives utilizing visual language and audio soundscape while showcasing a narrative with clearly conveyed mood and emotion, a complete audio track, and clear visual design. At the end of the semester students will present a final 60 second animation that reflects their process and skills as an animator.
