Develop your ICT skills and take animation further - 5th Dec 2008

Many teachers have requested a course that will allow them the opportunity to explore more advanced techniques as well as time to get to grips with post production, adding sound effects, titles, music and special effects.

During the course you will learn how to: reduce ideas down to their simplest form, look at the art of reacting to action, pausing the action and slowing the movement down. You will also work with sound effects and the use of different shots used in filmmaking.
