CLASSES ENROLLING NOW

• TRADITIONAL ANIMATION
Meets Tuesdays starting October 5, 2010 - Course meets for four weeks
7-9:30pm
Course Fee: $200

Instructor: Nicole MacDonald

This class approaches animation in the tradition way, through direct manipulation using stop-motion. Through examples and in-class exercises, we'll investigate various stop-motion methods using 3-dimensional materials and/or 2D hand-drawn frames. Together the class will create a color and sound hand-drawn animated short; and individually, each student will work to complete their own animated story, using media of their choice. Animation captured in the FrameThief program will be edited on Final Cut Pro. The class offers a “crash course” in both programs.

Course Fee $200. Payment must be made in full and in person at the Boll Family YMCA anytime M-F 6am-9pm, SS 9am-5pm. Check, MO and Credit card accepted. Online and partial payments are not available.
