Animation 2 has two main objectives

1. To provide students with processes for approaching character animation to create clear, expressive, and believable actions and attitudes, ef=iciently and effectively. 2. To provide students experience with character acting and body mechanics; how a character’s body moves and what motivates a move. Students will learn how to use live action reference and what to look for in that reference. The course provides production experience: thumbnails, storyboards, layouts and composition, model sheets, simple background design, and basic rules of cinema.
