For students who have mastered the technical basics, this course emphasizes the use of effects to support the main message with artistic decisions and design strategies. Using After Effects, students explore the complexity of life video combined with 2D animation using expressions, effects, parenting, 3-D controls, lighting, and audio. Students learn to analyze effects sequences and decipher ways to recreate them in After Effects. Projects are developed step-by-step, mirroring a real-life client-artist relationship and are intended to result in a professional piece for a demo reel.

The world wide web has developed into a robust media and animation platform. Over the course of the semester, students will learn, through hands-on workshops and lectures, how animated graphics can be used in interactive website development or linear motion graphics. Students will use Adobe Flash, a professional authoring application, to create projects that will incorporate animated characters, sound, and dynamic interactivity. Lectures on principles of animation, design, and project management will be emphasized through tutorials and class projects. Various methods will be explored to arrive at a more efficient work-flow and an enhanced end-user experience. The student will learn basic scripting to create a dynamic interactive user experience. At the end of the semester, students will have completed their own interactive animated projects embedded into a web page.
