Digital Media: 5 Basic Animation Techniques

This week in Digital Media class we will be learning a variety of different basic animation techniques from traditional drawn animation to rotoscoping to digital animation. For each technique we learn you will have 2 days to create a simple 6 second animation and these animations will be graded at the beginning of next week. Today we will begin by using a 8bit pixel animation program called PISKEL in which you will each create your own unique character and animate them.  Below is an example of an animation for the White Stripes that was done with this method as well as using tradition animation using Legos.
