5 courses with the subject DMA, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
DMA 1023D Animation I
This course introduces fundamental 3D theories and principles of digital modeling and animation. Utilizing modern professional 3D software, students will develop skills in modeling, lighting, shading, texturing, rendering, and basic animation. Emphasis will be on the 3D animation production process. (offered fall semester only) (1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. studio) Prerequisite: C or better in ART116. Offered on: E / 3 cr. hrs.
Based on knowledge acquired in DMA102: 3D Animation I, students learn advanced applications of 3D software in imaging, modeling, scene building, and development of complex animation sequences. Students will be introduced to and implement the principles of 3D character creation and animation, as well as advanced techniques in 3D digital lighting and camera animation. (offered spring semester only) (1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. studio) Prerequisite: C or better in DMA102. Offered on: E / 3 cr. hrs.
This course incorporates processes and skills previously learned in animation classes. With a combination of individual and team projects students will develop a completed 3D animation project utilizing storyboarding, digital character development, production and postproduction techniques using digital animation, non-linear editing and digital audio software and hardware. (offered spring semester only) (1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. studio) Prerequisite: C or better in DMA201. Offered on: E / 3 cr. hrs.
Focusing on the use of technology as a tool for the production of cartoon-style animation for use in multiple industries including mobile, web, television and film. Emphasis will be on computer software's tools and concepts, including drawing, image, text, storytelling for animation, creativity, experimentation, and critical thinking in the development of 2D digital animations. (offered fall semester only) (1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. studio) Prerequisite: C or better in DIA115. Offered on: E / 3 cr. hrs.
This course will introduce students to film and motion graphics as related to commercial, broadcast, animation, main title, music video and other industry applications. Projects will be focused on the production pipeline which includes storyboarding, animatic, sound development, and rendering. Students will be introduced to current industry standard applications. (offered spring semester only) (1 hr. lecture, 4 hrs. studio) Prerequisite: C or better in DMA203. Offered on: E / 3 cr. hrs.
