Introduction to Design & Animation
Visual Essay Short Film
Focus on storyboarding, design & animation.
This short film is a chance to learn about every stage of production. Starting with pre-production you’ll work
through possible visual styles and create storyboards for your film. You’ll then design and animate the entire
film with the help of your mentor with weekly critique and brainstorming sessions.
Art Direction & Creative Execution
2d/3d Explainer Short Film
Focus on Art Direction, Animation Techniques & Process.
This assignment is designed to mirror a real world client project. Explainer videos rest on the ability to communicate something specific in a beautiful and moving way. This project will give you another opportunity to create a strong art direction with compelling animation.
These projects are representative of our previous project assignment for this class. Our new project assignment for this class is a series of styleframes. We will share students works when they are completed.
Art Direction & Creative Execution
Infographics
Focus on Planning, Deconstructing Information & Pushing Visual Concepts.
This project is heavily focused on Art Direction. You’ll start with raw data and create 5 compositions that you will then animate into a sequence. The focus here is on working from raw data and creating effective visual communications in a style that fits with your portfolio goals.
These projects are representative of our previous project assignment for this class. Our new project assignment for this class is a series of styleframes. We will share students works when they are completed.
Advanced Visual Storytelling
Animation For A Cause - Thesis Film
Focus on Storytelling, Pre-Production & Directing.
This project is the culmination of our Mentorship Program. This is where students will create their most compelling piece of work. We want students to develop original, portfolio pieces and this 9 week production is designed to deliver one.
This is a quality over quantity mindset as you direct this film while producing every aspect of it. You will choose a non-profit (or related issue) and execute this film over 9 weeks. This is our most advanced production.
