I learned a lot about different featured artists and different techniques to animation that I didn’t really think much about before this class. I enjoyed all the films we watched and learned about in class, even the weird and disturbing ones. Each one showed me the different concepts and themes that different artists can create. There was a stretch of animation development that we covered in this course. From watching a lot of stop motion to ending the quarter with advances such as computer animation. Of course, I think I most enjoyed the playful silly animations over the ones about eating people or of bugs. The course became even more engaging with the group projects to create our own stop motion. It really gave me the hindsight of how tedious and time consuming stop motion really is.
Overall, I want to thank Professor Jake, for showing us so many different animations, stretching from various mediums. Hopefully I can take what I’ve learned in this class and can apply it to future animations I may partake in.
