This course focuses on the planning and development of animation concepts using theory, practice and appropriate technology. You will explore advanced techniques that bring animation to life, including facial expression, body movement and audio production. Through the exploration and design of narrative structures, you will investigate the importance of character design and develop skills for creating rich characters. You will also identify the business and funding requirements that need to be addressed during the scripting process, develop scripts specific to animated concepts, and 'pitch' and present your animation concepts.
