The unique aesthetics of compositing and digital animation are explored through historical and theoretical contextualization—lectures, readings and screenings—technical demonstrations and studio projects. Videos by artists as well as examples from popular culture, both historical and contemporary, are screened and discussed.
Exercises and studio assignments tackle various compositing or animation concepts including: keyframing, masking and keying, motion tracking, retiming, layering, character design, effects and colour correction.
