Students will work on complex animation productions, undertakings that are either individually produced or collaborative and team-based, student-initiated or originated by client proposals. The specific nature of each course offering will be planned thematically by the instructor on a case-by-case basis. Students follow professional standards, meet mileposts according to production schedules, and work towards a completed exhibition-ready project. The course involves lectures, presentations, and one-on-one contact with the instructor. Over the duration of the course, students participate in regular critique sessions and workshops, consult with peers, instructors outside of the course, and guest practitioners to receive important feedback on the details of their work.
