Objectives of the Course he aim of this course is to provide students with skills in working with animation software. The focus will be on creating compositions, animating shapes and text, using 3D animation techniques, and rendering projects, primarily using After Effects. Students will also learn to work with other animation software and gain the ability to export their animation projects in various formats.
Course Content The course covers techniques for creating animation projects and compositions in After Effects. Students will learn 2D and 3D animation techniques, apply masking and layer linking methods, and use cameras and lighting to create animations synchronized with sound. Additionally, the course focuses on exporting animation projects in various formats and rendering them.
Course Methods and Techniques The course will be conducted both theoretically and practically. The theoretical part will cover the basic principles of animation and composition creation processes, while the practical part will involve students creating projects in After Effects. Practical applications will include 2D and 3D animation techniques, masking, layer linking, and the use of cameras and lighting. Additionally, rendering and exporting animation projects will be practiced throughout the course.
