Oakland campus (June 20–24)
Learn to animate the good, old-fashioned way—then use modern methods to finish. In this class, participants explore a number of different animation techniques, including drawn animation, flipbooks, paper cutouts, zoetropes, clay animation, and stop-motion. With these basic techniques, students get a complete grounding in the principles of animation. Participants gain skills in squash and stretch distortion, timing, exaggeration, and storytelling. They write and storyboard both group and individual projects, and finish them using iStopMotion, iMovie, and iDVD.
