Create Motion Graphics for Film and Television

This course will introduce students to creating motion graphics for film and television. Students will explore how motion design is utilized in feature film title sequences, film and broadcast trailer graphics, branding, show openings and popular commercials. Students will receive a crash course on the essential elements of motion graphics, including typography, style frame creation, animation, delivery and presentation. Emphasis will be on design, conceptualization and the ability to sell your ideas in a professional environment.

We will also cover the use of Adobe After Effects and MAXON Cinema 4D in a production environment. Rendering, compositing, and typical delivery specifications will also be covered. Students will be encouraged to adapt their existing design, animation and visual effects skills towards this genre. Students should expect to collaborate in small teams for projects and leave with a film-level project for their reel.
