The new year brings me to the home stretch of my animation program. I have six courses left in the new MA Animation curriculum spread over the next four quarters. This winter quarter the two new classes are ANI 425 Visual Storytelling which is basically a storyboarding class and ANI 466 Animation Styles and Techniques which is an animation history class where we’ll put historic styles into motion with animated projects.
Spring quarter 2012 which begins in late March will bring the next two, ANI 440 Collaborative Short Animated Film and the new ANI 466 Cinema, Animation & Art in Contemporary Practice Course. Fall 2012 and winter 2013 are Animated Short Film I and II respectively. Looking at this final push it seems that there are only three “real” classes and three short films although there may be some degree of instruction involved in the collaborative movie class.
And with only one or two classed per quarter I’m hoping to better be able to mix in some personal work for my company. I’d like to add some animation jobs to the web and social media mix. I’m finally feeling like I’m on the downhill towards the finish line. here’s to 2012-13 and finishing strong.
