Study Guide

Objective

Students will understand the basics of rigging characters and other elements for animation in a 2D environment. They will be able to create animation systems using programming for different purposes and produce animation using them. The student will be able to produce parametric animation elements for efficient production.

Content

- the preparation of graphic elements for efficient animation production.
- learning about plug-ins and implementation methods for animation software
- programming animation systems
