The class will be concerned with animating inanimate objects by primarily stop motion. Locations will be constructed, objects to animated formed, and lighting explored in order to create the imaginary world. A variety of filmmakers and techniques will be looked at during the course of the semester. Students will be expected to produce a variety of short projects over the first seven weeks based on current affairs and future worlds, followed by a longer more sustained project. Students will be instructed in using ‘Dragonframe’ Software, creating moveable articulated figures, and creating locations as well as video/sound editing software.
