51-728 Time, Motion and Communication

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course focuses on designing and presenting timebased messages on screen. The differences between paperbased and screenbased communication are discussed and become departure points for projects. Working with word, image, sound, and motion in Adobe AfterEffects students develop responses to a variety of project briefs. Brief histories of animation, experimental films, and title sequences, as well as experimental music provide conceptual models to our discussions. An attitude of exploration is stressed, with an emphasis on visual voice, performance, and communication. Content will include personal messages and timely information. Proficiency with AfterEffects is a firm requirement. Preference will be given to Graduate Design students.
