Course Description:  In this dynamic on-campus course, you will create a series of digital videos and stop-motion animation projects. Each project will include an audio track, developed from creative writing exercises and assignments. Attendance and participation are central components of this class. There will be numerous in-class projects, both individual and collaborative, using the campus as our inspiration, studio, and set. You will learn to use a variety of animated forms (claymation, paper cutout, pixilation), creative writing (free writing, found sound, written and spoken word), and video editing tools (transitions, masks, green screen) to explore the moving image as a unique form of communication. You will also survey a range of modern and contemporary artists and writers to inform and inspire your own creative work and place it in context.
