Animation Filmmaking & Digital Arts

Watching different types of Movies and learning film appreciation. Learning basic drawing skills and shading skills.  Students will get an idea on volume, dimension and start constructing Characters using dimensional lines. Get a good awareness about major milestones and personalities in Animation history. Will get an idea about different types of characters in animation. Students will learn basic human anatomy and will get an idea on weight balance and how to pose a character through using proper line of action. 

Students will explore the fundamentals of storytelling and scriptwriting, allowing them to develop their own unique stories and scripts. They will also learn how to bring their concepts to life by designing captivating backgrounds, immersive environments, and compelling characters. Additionally, students will gain insights into the significance of storyboards in filmmaking and understand key aspects of animation layouts, including camera angles, shot composition, and staging.

Digital graphics empower graphic designers to effectively convey messages to audiences through visuals. Students will gain a deep understanding of design principles and learn the process of creating impactful elements for digital platforms.

Motion graphics are in high demand across advertising, e-commerce, digital platforms, and films. Students will learn to create captivating motion graphics using the latest tools and techniques.

Digital 2D Animation is the art of creating movement in a two-dimensional space. This includes characters, creatures, FX, and backgrounds. The illusion of movement is created when individual drawings are sequenced together over time.

Post Production means editing of audio and visual materials to create a film. Assembles footage shot by shot, adds music  and incorporates other visual and sound effects. 

This module will help the students to get an idea about animation concepts and to gain in depth knowledge of learning animation in detail.

The Major concept of 3D Animation is 3D Modeling. Students can understand the height,width,depth of any object/character/assets.

• Texturing & Shading in 3D makes the objects more realistic by giving life to the object by adding 2D texture.3D texturing allows to add more microscopic details to the surface of the models such as bumps and cracks.
• Rigging helps to control the motion of 3D characters. Students can learn the skinning and character setup,facial expression.With good technical skills and scripting knowledge they can perform well and become Rigging Artists.

In this module, students will learn the principles of character animation, including how to pose and stage their characters effectively. They will also begin animating and develop skills in dialogue animation.

Understanding effects animation allows us to create dynamic elements like explosions, fire, water simulations, and surface cracks. In this module, students will explore effects animation using Maya and Houdini, focusing on real-time physics-based effects such as smoke, fire, water, and lava. They will also learn procedural animation techniques using Houdini.

Lighting in 3D plays a crucial role in setting the emotion and mood of a scene, which can significantly impact the overall success of a film. Mastering this skill is essential for careers in animation, gaming, and film production. This module will also cover the rendering process across various formats, along with teaching students how to composite rendered layers to create the final output.
