AN5002 Animals & Creatures Starts 20 Sept

Dragon in flight by Jamie Floodgate

On Monday 20 September 2021 our 2nd year undergraduate animators return to Escape Studios to start a new module: AN5002: Advanced Computer Animation.

In this module, worth 30 credits, students learn to animate animals and creatures. The module starts on Monday 20 September 2021 and lasts five weeks. It finishes on Friday 22nd October with students submitting a short piece of animal or creature animation for final assessment.  

Animal and creature work

Jaguar by Francesco Nevi

Much of the animation industry in London focuses on realistic animal and creature work, achieving photo-real levels of quality. For example, the Disney re-make of The Lion King was made at MPC in London.

Tutors - Alex Williams, Marc Stevenson and Amedeo Beretta
This year we have three tutors teaching the second year animators, myself, Marc Stevenson and Amedeo Beretta. All our tutors at Escape Studios have experience of working on film projects featuring animal and creature animation.

Student work.
To see some examples of work done on this module, watch the short videos below. To see more examples of student work, read this blog post.

Canine locomotion exercise by Maria Robertson
Maria Robertson's canine animation was based on a number of live action clips, combined into one seamless piece of animation. It is an excellent study of quadruped locomotion and a very skilled performance. 



Dog animation by Tim Golton
Animal and creature work doesn't have to be super-realistic; it can be cartoony as well, as in this very charming dog animation by Tim Golton, using the Cody rig.

Animation library

Animation Library
We have many books on animation in the animation library, located in the hallway just outside Rapture on the 3rd floor. The Animator's Survival Kit Expanded Edition, for example, has a section on animal and creature animation. We also have Edward Muybridge's historic reference book Animals in Motion.

Online Tutorials at Vimeo
We have many online tutorials at Vimeo to support this module. Tutorials include:

2021 Schedule

To see the 2021 schedule, take a look at the calendar below:

 

Assigment - Portfolio (75%)

Daniel Amor - leopard animation with reference

Students create an animal or creature performance which may or may not contain spoken dialogue, approximately 7-12 seconds long.  Students should also build a portfolio of progress through the project at your website or blog containing written elements, images (such as storyboards and/or thumbnail sketches) and video (such as live action reference) to describe the development of the project. 

The final animation should be lit, rendered, and uploaded as a movie file to your YouTube channel. Links to the video and the blog should be emailed to your tutor before the deadline (see below).

Assignment - Retrospective (25%)

Dinosaur by Edoardo Sartori

Students must write a retrospective based on the portfolio submission, of about 2,600 words. You should reflect on your performance, the work that you created and the decisions that you made.  How does your practical output relate to the established theory and practice? How well did you do, compared to industry standards? What might you do differently next time? This written analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of your portfolio should be in the context of current industry practice. You can use our standard template if you like (ask me for a copy) but this is not compulsory. 

Deadlines

Bear animation by Amanda Costa

The Portfolio assignment is due on Thursday 21 October at 11.59pm.
Presentations, peer marking and self-marking of the portfolio assignment will take place on Friday 22nd October at 9.30am. 

Retrospective

The Retrospective assignment is due on Monday 25th October at 11.59pm.

How to Submit 
Submit your final projects by email to your tutor with a link to your final film, uploaded to Vimeo, and a link to your website or blog showing your development process, including thumbnail sketches and/or video reference.
