CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content
  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    In 3D Work workshop we concentrate on the actual everyday work one has to do to achieve anything in this very time-consuming art. Students will work five days on their idea for the 3D Animation- course s spring animation project.

    Discussed abstract and concrete subjects: Pre-visualization (storyboarding, animatic, blocking), project planning (goal and schedule), the characteristics of animation in general, keyframing the character, camera work etc.

    Only students who will do a spring animation project (in 3D Animation-course) can attend. This is basically of no use for anyone else, because you can get credits from this workshop only by starting to work on your project.

    The main purpose of this workshop is to get student's animation projects started.

    2. exchange students for whom the course is a part of his/her officially approved learning agreement and scheduled to be taken during the current semester;
    3. students for whom the course is compulsory for their major/programme and who have not completed it yet;
