Animation Design: Building Worlds & Characters

Weekly schedule

About this program

Students will work in Photoshop and Sketchbook Pro to develop animation designs, with characters being the focus. Background and prop designs will also be covered, and students will be encouraged to focus on their strengths. Sketching on paper will be encouraged in the early stages of design exploration to move quickly through a set of ideas. Emphasis will be placed on the differences between designing for 2D vs 3D animation and we'll learn the importance of strong silhouettes, functional design and specific personality in the characters the students will be creating.
