LineStorm Animation Digital FlipBook classes rekindle the thrill of discovery in the basics of animation. We examine the moment in time and space when animation happens – when one image changes into the next. As we build a group hand-drawn animation project, we will cover three fundamental phases of animation: (1) the intellectual phase, when animators consider the range of possibilities in developing frame-by-frame visual sequences; (2) the practical production phase, when animators create their imagery; (3) the wrap-up phase, when animators wrestle with timelines, pipelines and deadlines, to complete the project. We’ll work through hands-on exercises to explore a wide array of animation tools and skills. Led by award-winning animator Pell Osborn and developed with the MIT Student Art Association, The LineStorm Animation Digital FlipBook Seminar is called by Harvard University’s Project Zero, “The best example of project-based learning we’ve ever seen!”
