Module 2 : Storyboard & Animatic 

The storyboarder learns to draw an idea in a timeline. It is his task to visualize the script into scenes and shots. The storyboarder needs to know how to communicate the idea to the animator. The storyboarder will learn what to think of when starting to draw. Where is the character coming from and where is he going? What does he think of and how does he feel? 

Module 3 : Concept Design 

In this module the focus is on drawing for the animated film. The module is split into 2 parts: character design and environment art.

Character design: It is very important for a character designer to know what to think of when designing characters for animation. Principles as appeal, shape and proportion are thoroughly studied and trained in drawing exercises.

Environment art: the designer learns to think about composition, colors and shapes to design interesting environments and atmospheres.
