    Description
    Introduction on how to create believable movement by applying the traditional principles of animation to the 3-D digital environment, and using the computer as a tool to animate characters, creatures, and simple props related to live-action and animation film. A wide variety of current industry standard software and traditional principles of animation will be used to animate simple 3-D animation art assets and characters. Topics include an overview of the traditional principles of animation and how to apply them to basic 3-D digital animation. Emphasis on body mechanics, with attention on the building blocks of an animated scene, and the workflow from planning phase to final animation for live-action and animation film will also be explored.
