Abstract
Animation is a form of fine arts. What’s more important than emphasizing what software to create characters’ movements is how well one can communicate his or her ideas and tell stories with honesty. In animation, the technology keeps changing all the time while fundamentals of drawing, painting, basic design, and animation principles never change. In pursuing Traditional Animation, there are digital compositing, special effects, and digital editing methods involved. In Pursuing 3D or Digital-2D animation, there are visualization and conceptualization that are often done by drawing or painting mediums. This lecture will discuss an animation filmmaking teaching and learning method that embraces originality and creative freedom in telling stories and expressing themselves while the students receive extensive opportunities to study digital animation techniques combined with traditional or/and experimental animation media.
