2DAN 313: Character Animation II

Character Animation II continues the study of advanced animation principles begun in Character Animation I. Through a series of assignments, students will advance and polish their ability to bring characters to life by studying, practicing and animating strong character-driven movement and acting. Students will progress beyond the basics of body mechanics, towards refining their ability to create believable characters acting in dramatic dialogue scenes. Lectures, demonstrations, texts and action analysis studies will further students' understanding of motion design and stylization for character animation.
