Multimedia Animation

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles and essential techniques for creating multimedia animations. In the context of this course, students will explore the fields of animation and motion design, principles of movement in animation, storyboards, video and audio editing, as well as an introduction to interactivity in multimedia.   Field of Action and Area of Expertise: The course covers various areas of intervention, from creative conception to practical production of Animation. Students will have the opportunity to explore the application of these techniques in various sectors, such as entertainment, advertising, education and design.   Relevance: The CU is crucial in the study cycle, providing essential practical and theoretical skills in AN. Its relevance stands out in the digital age, where proficiency in animation principles and motion design is fundamental to facing professional challenges in visual and interactive communication.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Project-Based Learning (PBL) in Animation: Students work on projects where they come into contact with the methodology and processes of pre-production, production and post-production in multimedia animation. They develop complete narratives and animations: from creative conceptualization to dissemination through different time-based media channels. The practical challenges explore the abilities to put into practice the fundamentals and skills acquired, both in individual experiences and in the context of teamwork. In this way, preparing them for a labor market reality. Real-time Interactive Tutorials, Online teaching platforms can offer innovative tutorials, content, and production methods. Online Communities of Animators and motion design boost self-learning skills, connection to a collective learning community and constant contact networks with the reality of the multimedia animation production market.
