Workshop Series: Art of Animating Dance – speaking through movement

Workshop Overview:

Art of Animating Dance is a continuing series as we explore creating dance animation choreography in SL.

Highlights include:

  • defining the message/emotion
  • choosing animations for effect, style, and transition
  • animations, animation stores, and insights
  • selecting the animation order for your dance
  • animation “hits” and pauses
  • first and last impressions
  • transitions
  • flow of the choreography
  • creating a timed sequence
  • and more

Each workshop will be presented in a positive and relaxed environment as we explore each topic in-depth, with a focus on hands-on and interactive activities. Following workshops will pick up where the previous left off. Workshop notes will be available after the repeat session on Wednesday.
