You take the basic animation skills developed in year one and develop them further with particular reference to character animation in a 3D environment.
You study the principles of acting theory and apply this knowledge to the production of animated character performances. You develop your animation skills in full body and facial animation of humanoids and creatures. You also examine how to bring inanimate objects to life and study how professional 3D animation tools can be used to achieve the most convincing results.
The assessment is in two components. Component one comprises a number of exercises and component two will consist of a longer sequence with sound.
