2DAN 313 S002: 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.

Darren Brereton, independent animator, has worked for a variety of Canadian and international animation studios (NFB; Disney- Paris & Vancouver; Cinar; Bardel; DHX; Atomic; etc.) as an animator, in storyboarding, direction, layout, posing, and special effects animation. An honours graduate of Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Animation and Sound Design, he is a hard-working animator, instructor, and fan of all things relating to character-driven animation. An excellent critic of script writing, boarding, layouts, timing, editing, sound design, and all other aspects of animation production, he can coax the best out of fledgling animators and students. He is also a keen observationalist, especially of the happy accidents in day-to-day life, as well as a prolific cyclist and seasonal softball player.
