CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:

    Research-based animation film production. During this course the students will approach animation productions with a researcher's mindset from script to screen. They are inspired to expand the boundaries of animation into new forms of visual storytelling. The course focuses on practice-based knowledge that can be applied to different technical processes rather than on a software-specific skill. It advances the core understanding of animation principles while the students investigate different animation traditions and reflect them on their own work.
