This seminar is meant to be a trip from drawing on paper to modern digital animation tools. We will focus on how to make an information accessible, wether it is for students, scientifics, general public, or even children.
A series of workshop will allow us to adress different thematics:
- fundamental aspects of drawing (the "stroke")
- composition of drawings (on paper, and with a software)
- animation approaches in the so-called "2D" family (frame by frame, stop-motion, warping...)
- compositing softwares and short film-making.
Students will have to develop a narration through text and images, in order to produce the "sketch" of a short scientific movie.
Warning: vector animation and 3D animation will not be adressed in this course. However, student who are already skilled in such domains are welcome to use them in their movie.
