3DAN title

Course Description

This hybrid course focuses on advanced 3D computer animation and digital media pre-production techniques. Students will conceptualize, develop, and produce a complex project that reflects their creative interests. The course will guide students through the entire pre-production process, from project brainstorming, storyboards, and previsualization to final presentation, emphasizing professional standards and collaborative work.

As a hybrid class, some sessions will be online, while others will be on-site. The schedule will specify the format for each week. Please note, that selected on-site classes will not have a Zoom link.

Student Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be fully engaged in the production of their project and should be in good standing for project completion by the April deadline. In the process of working toward this goal, students will:

  1. Develop and articulate a project concept that reflects and furthers their creative interests.
  2. Identify and research relevant artistic or creative industry contexts for their project.
  3. Lead the creative direction and production of their project.
  4. Assess project resources and leverage them to the project’s advantage.
  5. Communicate project status effectively.
  6. Offer constructive feedback on the work of others; receive and reflect on feedback on their own work.

Whether we’re meeting in person or connecting via Zoom, we’re all on the same learning journey. This course is designed to be interactive and engaging for everyone, so I encourage you to actively participate, ask questions, and connect with your classmates.
