This blog will not be about me, but instead, about the animation program at Wylie High School in Wylie Texas. This is a special year, as it is the first where we have a true four year program. The program has been building for a number of years starting out simply using Flash, Director, and Audacity to where it is now. Software used in the program currently includes Photoshop, Anime Studio, Animation Master, Lightwave, Maya, Bryce, Premier, AfterEffects, and Soundbooth.
The courses in the program are:
Digital Graphics and Intro to Animation - Course cover the creation and use of digital graphics, 2D animation, and 3D animation.
Animation - Modeling tools, animation tools, and production via Premier/AfterEffects are covered in a 3D environment.
Animation Production - Half the time will be spent learning advanced tools and the other producing animated shorts. This process will flow from scriptwriting, storyboarding, Storyreels, Modeling scene generations and editing and final production.
Animation Problems and Solutions - In this course the students work as a team on a year long project (featurette). This will be done in-conjunction with the creative writing class (screen play writers) and the theater department (voice overs).
Its all so new so there will be a lot of trial and error I am sure.
