Description
To successfully take a creative idea for animation to completion requires familiarity with the overall process and signficant preproduction planning. You will work collaboratively to brainstorm concepts for your animated project then draft and redraft a high quality script and storyboard to distill your idea into a form suitable for a pitch or funding application. This includes a proof of concept based on significant visual and textual research with documention for a unique method suited to bring your project to fruition. You will analyse how processes impact on creative workflow, the importance of R&D (research and development) and reflect on how these iterative processes help to improve the quality of your original idea and can be used to generate and refine new ideas for further animation projects.
