Team Animation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Team Animation is the highest level animation class for the Media Arts & Animation (MAA) degree at the Illinois Institute of Art. It involves an entire class working together as if they were in a job to complete a professional quality animation within eleven weeks. The class is structured like a small animation studio would be, broken up into different sections, with each section working on their own part of the overall animation. For example the 2D section works on 2D, the character modeling section works on the modeling of all the characters, the animation section works on rigging and animating the characters as they are finished, the post section works on rendering out each sections work and then editing together and adding sound to the renders, etc. This class is the first look at the industry for many of the students in the MAA degree and finishing the animation on time can prove to be a real challenge.
