Sound for Experimental Animation I

GR - Graduate

This filmmaking course is an introduction to sound design and sound recording for animation. Students will develop a working understanding of the elements of sound design for film, including dialogue and voice, sound effects, foley effects, ambiences and music. Through hands-on listening exercises, recording exercises, and class labs, students will gain the technical skills needed to create and edit sound to picture using microphones, recorders, and Pro Tools editing and mixing software. In-class screenings and discussions will explore creative ways of communicating a sense of space, perspective, character and tone through sound in both narrative storytelling and conceptual filmmaking. Students will be challenged to think critically about how sound can elevate and interact with various animation styles.

This class grants students access to Film / Video School sound equipment.
