Online course sections will be delivered mostly asynchronously, with some synchronous components that will be outlined in the course syllabus if applicable. All class work can be completed remotely, your instructor will work with you to ensure that you have the necessary tools and resources. This course builds upon core character animation skills learned in Animation 1, expanded into more challenging weight, dialogue, body mechanics, and acting dynamics. Students will gain an understanding of how the human body moves and what motivates a move. They will learn how to use live action reference and to transfer observations into fluid body mechanics and character performance. The goal is to give students a proper foundation and a workflow they can use when they move onto advanced character-driven animation classes. Students will practice animation through weekly assignments and a final project.
