Detailed Description
Students construct finished scenes by creatively working with 2D animation software. Virtual cameras and multi-layered layouts are used to construct a scene in 3D space. Both digitally drawn animation and symbol animation are created to complete the scene. Students apply digital production workflows and understand why that flow is important.
