This unit examines animation from both a practical and critical perspective. Students will undertake practical instruction in basic animation skills as well as investigating animation as industry, transnational cultural commodity, fan text and technology. Students will become familiar with a variety of critical and theoretical perspectives on the form as well as undertaking a four-week practical component, in which students will be given a practical introduction to animation techniques.Please note that this unit has the same value as two standard 6-point units, and the contact hours and expectations of student involvement reflect this. -- Course Website
