26-2050 Animation Preproduction & Story Development

Course continues the animation student’s development of story and art direction begun in 26-2040 Storyboard and Concept Development. Story development will advance through treatment and screenplay creation, informed by classroom workshops, peer feedback and instructor critique. Students will simultaneously develop the art direction necessary for a finished pre-production presentation, independent of final production process. A student presentation of an animated film and film examples will sharpen an appreciation of the story and visual elements in an animated short film.
