expression. We will simplify story construction by discussing
successful film plots and why they worked and in simple terms
understand how to translate ideas into visual scripts for animation.
Fundamentals of Animation -

Introducing
the participants to the fundamentals of movement in animation. Whatever
be the medium of animation, the fundamentals of movement remain the

spacing, anticipation, follow through and much more, the importance of
each of these in creating convincing animation will be illustrated.
Live demonstrations, homework and exercises for the participants as
well as review and analysis of their work.
Importance of Anatomy in
Character Design
A study of
the various anatomical structures in the human body in detail, and how
each is translated into believable structures that make up the
creatures and characters that we see on screen today. Emphasis will be
