Animation

The UAF Computer Art program offers a comprehensive animation area of study that benefits film and performing arts students through courses in 3-D Animation, Digital Video, and Digital Photography. Many of these courses are cross-listed with Film and Performing Arts (FLPA), providing interdisciplinary skills valuable in these fields. The curriculum includes previsualization and preproduction, teaching students to generate preliminary versions of shots using 3D animation tools for efficient filmmaking. Courses in animation basics, 3D animation, and digital video compositing cover techniques for creating moving imagery, manipulating video, and integrating live-action with computer-generated animation, preparing students for diverse roles in cinema production.
