Students will develop storyboards, create characters and build production-ready assets to be used for films, commercials even video games. By the end of the academy, students will have developed several portfolio pieces to jump-start their career in animation and commercial art.
Week 1, Intro to 2D Animation & Digital Illustration: Students start by developing an understanding of the professional animation pipeline. Students then utilize industry-standard tools like Adobe Photoshop and Toon Boom Harmony to create. Students finish the week with a production packet or portfolio of illustrated works and apply those creations to a final animation, replicating the process industry professionals follow in major studios.
Week 2, 2D Animation Production & Character Development: Prospective animators and illustrators will gain first-hand experience being a production artist. Through the use of professional production tools like Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe Photoshop; students will go beyond simply creating art as a hobby and learn how to create art as a career. Students will build a repertoire of production-ready assets like characters, backgrounds, and props that can be used as a high-level portfolio piece. Turn your passion for cartoons and illustrations into a career with 2D Animation Production.
