Online: Cohort-Based
This is a one-week (30 hours) elective course specializing in compositing using Toon Boom Harmony. Participants will learn to take existing animated characters, props, environments (backgrounds) and then add shadows, lighting and hand-drawn effects to composite and render final image sequences.
The course will be delivered in the Online: Cohort-Based format with daily live check-ins.
