ANMA-2006Background Design 2
This course builds upon the creation of complex environments for animation covered in Background Design 1. Students will develop immersive and convincing animated worlds with scene planning, environmental storytelling, visual hierarchy, cinematic composition, and camera movements. Emphasis is placed on maintaining continuity of style while applying principles of structural drawing and perspective to both background and prop design. Students will refine their ability to design backgrounds that support the narrative and emotional tone of animated scenes. By the end of the course, students will create cohesive, story-driven environments that contribute to the overall aesthetic of a production.
