Successful animators have a comprehensive understanding of basic animation techniques and principles. This eight-week course focuses on one of these concepts each class by working traditionally with paper and pencil. Using a light table students create, trace, and refine their drawings frame by frame. Whether you are just starting out or building up skills, traditional animation is your playground.
