Digital Animation - Clip Studio Paint 3

​

Animation III allows students to begin the process of inbetweening on their animatics from Animation II. Students will learn the importance of keeping on model, reading timing charts, and maintaining fluid motions, color, shading, lighting, and camera movements to create a fully finished animation. By the end of the term, students will have a fully finished black and white or colored animation. 

 

Note: Animation is an intensive art and requires hundreds of drawings. If the student works at a slower pace, they will be asked not to use color to make sure the project will be finished.
