Animation: Then, Now, & Next
Academic Noncredit

Introduction to the continuing evolution of animation. The course investigates not only the creative and technological innovations that expand cinematic storytelling (e.g., Mickey Mouse to VFX, Simpsons, Anime Games to VR), but also how the arts are an integral part of animation (i.e. sound/music, art/design, cinematography/editing, acting/theatrical lighting). Through lecture, discussion, demonstration, basic animation assignments, readings, and analysis, students will acquire knowledge of the fundamentals of animation and its production pipeline. This is a lower-division course designed for the non-major and major.

This noncredit class meets with a regular University of Utah credit course.

Online book and material fees may be added up until the first week of class. Students may opt out during the first two weeks of class.
