Students will be taken through a range of workshops that develop animation skills, with particular attention being paid to stop-motion techniques. Students will work in and experience the unique Australian landscape in and around historic Broken Hill. This course draws upon the aesthetics and theories of environmental sculpture and animation. The arid landscape provides an opportunity to see the essential nature of the environment, making underlying structures visible. Traces left on the landscape by natural and manmade events are more easily seen and rendered.
The projects are developed further using digital video editing and digital video postproduction. Students will work on various individual and group projects in the field to enhance and extend their production techniques, with each student shooting, editing, and scoring animation projects. On completion of this course, students will have an understanding of the technical and aesthetic foundations of digital video production and animation.

Cost to students is approx $480 which includes all travel, meals and accommodation. The course is run in the first week of the winter session refer to information posted by School.
