Motion Design Fundamentals
In this course, students will be introduced to fundamentals of motion design and digital workflow. The necessary skills to be able to create basic animated graphics for Film/TV, branding, web, social media platforms etc. will be covered. The course starts with foundational training in different raster- and vector graphic software as well as 2D animation software, and the workflow used between them.
Based on this the students will plan and produce a short motion design piece by creating a storyboard and production ready digital graphical assets/illustrations with different effects and motion applied. Finally, the animation is presented as a rendered sequence.
