Content

The course introduces students to the functions and modes of expression of pre-production animation. In a workshop-style course, students will learn the basics of directing, scriptwriting, concept design and production. Working in small groups and independently, the course overlaps with the technical objectives of the course and deepens the development of the student's own artistic expression and understanding of the multi-stage nature of animation pre-production. The course is linked to the planning of the 2nd year practice production.
