2DAN 410 S001: Senior Anim Production II
Continuing the project begun in Senior Animation Production I, students focus on fully realizing all aspects of animation production, by effectively managing production milestones, working with collaborators and refining their work. Students will complete their project by a fixed deadline, and prepare a professional trailer, poster and press kit to use when promoting their work to potential employers and festivals.
2DAN 400 Senior Animation Production I
-
Leslie Bishko’s work is centered on the dynamics of expression through movement in the medium of animation, influenced by abstract experimental animation and contemporary modern dance. Exploration of these themes led her to integrate 3D computer animation with Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), which are the focus of her research and teaching. Recent work includes chapter contributions on LMA and interactive animation for the book Nonverbal Communication in Virtual Worlds: Understanding and Designing Expressive Characters.
Research topics:- Application of LMA as a complete movement language for animation and virtual environments
- Movement styles in animation, aesthetics of animated movement
- Movement visualization, LMA pedagogy, visualization of LMA theory
- Puppeteering and social interaction of realtime interactive avatars in virtual environments
Instructional themes:
- Animation form/aesthetics
- 3D character animation: biomechanics, expression, posture, gesture, acting, dramatic scene dynamics
- Animated and cinematic storytelling, cinematography and editing
- LMA and the animation process
