Hybrid Imaging

MFA students know animation is a
blend of creative and technical activities. From
the choice of what pencil lead we use, to
selecting the right "codec" to render with,
technical knowledge is an important factor in
successfully expressing your ideas on the screen.
Building a fluent, robust knowledge of processes
embedded in the marriage between contemporary
image making instruments, methodologies and
concepts does expands creative choices. Here in
this course we shall cover instruction on
creative pathways featuring methods you may be
partly familiar, explore advanced processes
utilizing both analogue and digital technology
and when feasible, present totally new insights
that may influence development of your "First
Year Shot" project. Our course work this
semester studying digital cinematic
possibilities and animation production utilizing
current image creation through the power of Adobe
Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects are
expected to help empower greater animated art
creativity. Students must attend the first class
where they will gain access to the lab and may
choose to test out.
