Film and Video Studies Department FILMVID 405:
Computer Animation 1
This animation course will investigate and exercise the basic concepts of
Macromedia Director. It is a hands-on beginning level course that will explore
the mechanics of computer generated 2-D animation, including the integration of
sound, motion, and basic interactive programming. Fundamentals of the
perception of motion over time, rotoscoping, storyboarding, and final output
options of finished animations. Students should have a basic working knowledge
of Macintosh illustration and paint programs.
