Rotoscope Animation

An introductory animation-production elective course designed to fully explore the animation-production process using both traditional and digital techniques. Students create their own animation projects from concept to final realization, exploring the range of animation techniques from traditional hand-drawn animation to digital rotoscoping. Rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over live-action source footage, frame by frame, to achieve more realistic movement in their animated work. The primary software tool for the course is iStopMotion. Summer session.
