COURSE GUIDE
[TCP2DANIM202]
In Cutout Animation, you will investigate a traditional stop-motion animation
technique that has been incorporated into the digital space. Cutout Animation
involves creating layered characters that can be used as rigged puppets with
skeletons and joint-based manipulation. You will master Toon Boom Harmony
techniques using the peg and node animation system and apply these lessons to
develop biped and quadruped rigs for animation, including creating functional
animation rigs, and seamlessly incorporate these assets into animation cycles and
physical shots.

Advanced Cutout Animation
[TCP2DANIM202]
Synthesize the technical and theoretical skills you have accumulated during your
studies to produce advanced cutout animation shots. This process will involve
creating single-character animations, as well as two-character dialogues, using
digital stop-motion techniques as a way of matching audio to character motion and
face animation. You will apply your animation skills to design briefs that reflect
professional feature/episodic projects, which will require mastery of Harmony FX and
compositing tools to enhance the quality of visuals.
2D Animation Capstone Portfolio
[CAPANIM303]
Throughout your degree, you will have built a comprehensive body of theoretical,
technical, creative, and cognitive disciplinary knowledge and skills relating to 2D
animation for film and games. You’ll get to reflect critically on and review your
catalog of work to plan, edit, and curate your best pieces into a cohesive portfolio/
showreel that showcases your professional, artistic, and technical abilities and helps
you confidently prepare to apply for roles in the industry.
