2D and 3D Animation

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The purpose of UC Animation 2D and 3D is to transmit the knowledge necessary for the development of projects in the audiovisual and multimedia area, using new technologies and professional software on the market such as Blender, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere. Mastering these tools, technologies and techniques allows students to expand their possibilities for solutions and resources in the field of animation.
• ProgramaProgramme

  - Technique and aesthetics of the animated image. - Presentation of experimental animation projects (visual and narrative). - Animation principles (12 Disney rules). - Concepts and practice of Stopmotion animation (2D). - Concepts and Practice of Rotoscopy - Digital rotoscopy techniques. - Animation techniques in 3D environments. - 3D animation, VFX, Motion Tracking. - 3D modeling and animation of a logo. - Applying a light environment. - Rendering techniques.
• ObjectivosObjectives

  This course aims to introduce a range of animation techniques - rotoscoping, stop motion, and 3D digital animation - which students will explore and apply in animation projects. Within this context, students are expected to develop the ability to conceive and produce animated projects through the use of these three techniques. The guidelines set out in the course syllabus seek to establish working methods consistent with the principles taught in previous course units, particularly Visual Culture, Camera and Video Operations, Editing and Post-Production, Design, and Photography. Accordingly, students will complete five exercises and one final project, based on a production process that follows these principles.
