technology is transparent,
enabling students to enjoy creative freedom while storyboarding, drawing,
scanning, inking and painting, lip synching, laying out animation in a
3D space, and adding stunning special effects. As of September 2007, students will start learning animation using Toon
Boom’s technology in their first year and will do so
throughout the four-year B.A. and three-year M.F.A curricula.
Catering
to the leading animation studios in California, Toon Boom and the
School of Cinematic Arts combine their technology and industry
knowledge for the immediate benefit of the students.
"Animation and digital arts are a fundamental part of the cinematic
process in which we take our dreams and visions and bring them to
life,” says SCA dean Elizabeth M. Daley. “Thanks to Toon Boom, our
students have a powerful tool that can let them focus on the vision
without getting bogged down in the process.”
