Modules

Acting for Animation - Core

This module is an in-depth study of acting theory as applied to character animation. The overall aim is to enable you to create convincing performances using animated characters. You are encouraged to develop the basic acting principles through an analysis of live action and character animations in terms of the basic psychology of human emotion and acting performance. You learn to understand the differences and similarities of acting theory applied to animation and live action. Throughout the module, you learn how to put your understanding of acting theory into practice. Using improvised and scripted acting techniques you plan and develop short character animation sequences. Using the sound stage you have the opportunity to record both scripted and improvised performances and use these videos as reference for your animation. At the end of the module you will have produced an integrated set of character animation exercises. This portfolio will be used for the purposes of assessment.
