Course Description

The main purpose of the logo is to identify the person, product, business, or service you’re designing it for, it's primarily a strategic tool for your brand or business.

Most consumers have strong opinions regarding their favorite brand. These opinions are more emotional than rational. Some brands (e.g. Apple, Microsoft, Adidas etc.) resonate with customers more than others. They form an emotional attachment to these brands, often disregarding better products and services for ones with higher visibility and brand recognition.

This 6-hour workshop allows participants to incorporate the best practices and creative techniques that will take logo designing to the next level.

The business side of compositing

Many creative people have known that they are artists, musicians, writers, designers and performers from a young age. They may have spent years at a university, college, art school or conservatory being inspired, finding role models and perfecting techniques. During this exciting few years of their lives, not much may have been said about what awaits them after they graduate.

Processional animator and actor goes way beyond other tutorials to teach fundamental acting skills within the context of animation. This course assumes you know how to move your character. Now it's time to focus on why you're moving your character. Because if you think about it, animation really is just another form of acting. But how many animation curriculums spend a lot of time on acting? Rarely is it more than a mention. In this course you will learn fundamental acting skills within the context of animation. 

The course begins with a lecture based format for learning the core principles and concept of acting, like the C.R.O.W. and W.O.F.A.I.M. acronyms. Then you're challenged to apply what you've learned with a total of 8 exercises. While recording video of yourself acting might be a little uncomfortable at first, trust us: You'll have a ton of fun once you get over the initial comfort!

This course is unlike any animation course before it because it hardly features any software usage at all. Don't let that confuse you though. Until this point, the entire Animation Learning Flow has largely featured the How of animation (which involves a lot of Blender workflow). "Acting for Animators" is all about the Why. Stepping away from software to learn acting will greatly improve the artistic quality of your character animation.

This course assumes you know how to move your character. Now it's time to focus on why you're moving your character.

Through a critical examination of research terminology, ethics, and techniques, participants will be able to establish or expand their understanding of research. The language of research, ethical principles and problems, and parts of the research process in quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods techniques are all covered in this course. Participants will apply these theoretical foundations to begin critically reviewing literature relevant to their field or interests and determining how research findings might help them understand their work, social, local, and global environments.

Objectives

• Understand research terminology
• Be aware of the ethical principles of research, ethical challenges and approval processes
• Describe quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods approaches to research
• Identify the components of a literature review process
• Critically analyze published research
