I often teach FILM1600 Animation, Then | Now | Next. Animation, by its nature, is interdisciplinary. This course is an introduction to the continuing evolution of Animation. The course investigates the creative and technological innovations that expand cinematic storytelling (Mickey Mouse, VFX, Rick & Morty [2D] Anime, Games, XR). A lower-division course designed for the non-major as well as the major.
This course is not a history course but utilizes history, contemporary animations, and demonstrations of current animation technology, industry lectures to reveal how Animation has evolved and is changing the future of digital media (Video Games, XR).
