Students will create evocative animation projects using traditional studio materials as well as cell phones, iPads, camcorders, DSLR cameras and the Adobe Production Suite software. The class is designed to integrate students from a variety of studio interests and technological backgrounds. No prior animation or computer knowledge is necessary.
