CNM 190: Advanced Digital Animation is a year-long course offered at UC Berkeley which is targeted at students with backgrounds in art, film, or computer science who intend to work in the visual effects, animation, and entertainment industries.

It will build upon students' knowlege from related courses to guide them through the digital animation production process in an environment similar to industry production houses. We will survey many advanced topics and allow students to focus on a subset they find interesting while collaborating with their team to develop a 30-second animation piece.

The final grade will be based upon weekly homework assignments, participation in critiques, and confidential peer evaluation (each contributing to 1/3 of the grade). In addition, the final group deliverable can bump everyone in the group up or down a +/- level. Feedback (including current grades) will be provided mid-semester.

To learn about how to apply, attend the first class: Wednesday August 23, 1:00-3:00pm in 606 Soda Hall. It's encouraged but not required that you register for the class on CalCentral beforehand as well (CCN 27606). You will need to prepare a personal portfolio of any relevant work to submit with the application, which can be sent in after the first class.
