Students explore different stylistic approaches for individual animated productions, and design original characters and environments. Areas of study include perspective, character and prop model sheets, background and character layouts, and proportion sheets (for multiple characters in a production). In addition, students produce full color samples of their master backgrounds and color keys of the main characters. Upon completion of this course, students will have a greater working knowledge of perspective and composition, knowledge of how these pertain to cinematic motion and design, and several finished works for their portfolios. Prerequisite: AN 3310 Character Animation + Motion Studies or AN 3720 3-D Computer Animation Motion Studies
