In this course, students are introduced to a variety of techniques and forms of stop motion animation as used in fine art animation and experimental film/video. Through short exercises and longer projects, students gain hands-on experience with frame-by-frame stop motion animation, set design, armature fabrication, lighting, practical effects, basic cinematography, sound design, and audio & visual editing. Emphasis is placed on creativity, conceptual development, and dynamic movement.
