Animation Notes
Assignment Summary
[ Contents ] [ Back ]


The assignments given for the animation component of this program are designed to help you build some basic craft skills. It is usually possible to complete these projects in an afternoon or two. We do not require high levels of finished artwork. We do however, ask that you demonstrate an interest in bringing something to life via a considered response to the challenges within each project brief. These assignments will also help prepare you for both your minor and major projects and will introduce you to a number of animation techniques which you may consider in order to realise your ideas. You can also use these assignments to develop animated devices and gagets that would be suitable for multimedia interface design.
