Description
Prerequisite: Introduction to 2D Animation in Harmony Software and permission of the professor
This course is designed to further enhance the development of 2D animation concepts and techniques. Students are expected to have an introductory knowledge of Harmony software and be comfortable with basic animation skills. As an intermediate/advanced course, students will delve deeper into animation fundamentals and explore advanced techniques, including shift and trace, motion arcs, and secondary movements. Additionally, students will expand their proficiency in Harmony software by developing advanced camera techniques, utilizing traditional and auto lip-sync tools, leveraging nodes for lighting and effects, and exploring a variety of advanced tools. Students will enrich their drawing and animation skills by understanding body mechanics and motion flow, focusing on techniques such as animated cycles, rotating forms, transformations, timing and pacing, weight, and resistance.
