This course aims to provide a foundation in stop-motion animation through three techniques: cut-out animation, traditional hand-drawn animation, and object animation. The approach is progressive. Cut-out animation offers a simple and intuitive introduction on how to create movement. Traditional hand-drawn animation, a more reflective technique, introduces methods for preparing and controlling movement. Finally, object animation extends these skills through the creation of three-dimensional characters and shooting in space.
The teaching includes screenings of animated short films, theoretical sessions, as well as small exercises and mini-projects, both individual and collaborative. Topics are open and chosen freely by the participants. An assessment screening will be held at the end of the final session.
students may work on their personal laptops
