Stop-motion feature films can require hundreds of people, computer-controlled cameras, model makers, textile departments and even 3D printers. Great stop motion can also be created with a single piece of string, a piece of construction paper, or even the things on your desk. In this studio course, students will explore how to animate and shoot a stop-motion sequence and to finalize their animations with live action or illustrated backplates, or simple sets. All aspects of stop-motion animation will be covered, including puppet construction, animation, lighting, shooting, compositing and editing. Through lecture and demonstration, we will cover photography basics, animation principles and postproduction.
NOTE: Students must have access to a computer with a microphone for class and a tablet or phone with a camera for capturing animation. All students with an active registration in this course will be given access to the Adobe Creative Cloud. This course is fully online and offered through synchronous sessions during the listed course hours.
