Introduction to Animation is a three-day course that focuses on storytelling through stop-motion animation. You will have the opportunity to explore innovative and original ways of creating and constructing character and narrative. You will be introduced to industry-standard animation equipment, software, and techniques such as DragonFrame and Premiere Pro. This course focuses on the importance of sound and movement in particular, challenging you to reinterpret and invent your own short animated film. There will be elements of collaborative group work, as well as time to explore animation independently, to reflect the many roles involved in the animation process in industry. On completion of this course you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to produce your own animations and independently explore the possibilities of stop-motion.
The course is taught by current Foundation tutors, who are professional creatives currently working within their specialism.
A basic list will be sent to you a week in advance of the course start date. All other materials are provided by Kingston School of Art (KSA).
