This upper division hybrid media studio extends the principles of animation the pacing of sequential images, the tension between stillness and movement, and the hybrid compositing practices that define digital filmmaking in the creation of innovative, upper division work constructed from a frame-by-frame perspective. Animated Short Film Topics include: digital film and hybrid moving image, gestures and languages of movement, rotoscoping and the loss of the index, and the architecture of animated space. The course is structured by individual and collaborative projects, critiques, lectures and screenings on historical and contemporary animated art forms, discussions of theoretical readings, research and writing, and field work to support in-depth investigations tied to non-traditional contexts, interdisciplinary investigations and a range of display platforms.
