Course Description

Much of the animation seen on the internet is vector-based, 2D animation. Because of its modest band-width requirements, vector-based animation allows very large and lengthy presentation as well as short, high impact graphics in ads. This course will involve producing sophisticated web animation integrated into Flash-based web pages. Web video and audio will also be implemented. Software: Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Supporting utilities. No prerequisites.
