[b]Drama in a double pack - dramaturgy for two Seminar on artistic animation film[/b] “Drama in a double pack - dramaturgy for two” focuses on the dramaturgy of the animation and short film and on working in a team. The aim of the course is to recognize the peculiarity of brevity and the unbelievable variety of narrative possibilities in animated films and to learn how complex situations and characters can be presented in the shortest possible time. In addition, you have to practice in a team, to respect the decisions of the team partner and to work with them. Using film examples, we approach the topic of dramaturgy, the focus of the seminar is on practical animation work. An introduction to the basic animation techniques enables you to work independently; the animations made during the course and examples from different times are viewed and discussed.

[u]Artistic Animation Seminar: [/u]Wednesdays 14 – 18, Prof. Kati Barath, Alexandra Portele, Ulrike Isenberg, start 13.10. [u]Room:[/u] online or presence at the HfK, Speicher XI, 1.11.070 [u]Max participants:[/u] 20 students This semester we will focus on the compressed narrative of the animated gif. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) are animations that can loop over and over again or that stop at the last image after one round. Characteristic for the gif is that it’s normally short and compressed, both concerning time, file size and storyline. The gif was introduced as a simple animation format for the web, often in the form of advertising banners, but has now formed it’s own genre of animation, strongly affiliated with meme culture. The formal format of the course is a merge of an Interdisciplinary seminar, an Integrated Design Gestalterische Project and a theory course. All three parts are open for all HfK students. Participants can choose if they want to do all parts together or the different parts separately. For MA students it’s strictly encouraged to take all the three parts of the course. During the semester a forum or platform for showing animated gif’s will be established, both physically and online. Those who have already taken part in animation seminars know that there are always analog animated movement and metamorphosis exercises as an introduction. An introduction to the basic animation techniques enables you to work independently; the animations made during the course and examples from different times are viewed and discussed. The course is planned for work in teams of two. Requirements for this course are a digital device, an animation app (for Apple devices this would be e.g. Stop Motion Studio, available for free download) and internet access. Even if you can work in the trick film studio at HfK again, it makes sense to set up your own animation workstation. The classes will take place on site if possible and if not possible on, or most likely in a combination of presence and offline. All animation techniques are possible. As always, regular participation is mandatory. The structure for the course follow these steps: Preparation (20%) 1. Introduction 2. Research Creation (60%) 3. Inspiration 4. Storyboard/Animatic 5. Filming/Drawing 6. Editing Presentation (20%) 7. Arranging a platform or channel for presentation [b]Gif n´ Take Seminar zum künstlerischen Animationsfilm[/b] In diesem Semester liegt der Fokus auf der komprimierten Erzählform des Gif-Animationsformats. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) sind Animationen, die sich ständig wiederholen können oder aber nach einem Durchlauf beim letzten Bild stoppen. Charakteristisch für das Gif ist, dass es normalerweise kurz und komprimiert ist, sowohl in Bezug auf Zeit, Dateigröße als auch Handlung. Das Gif wurde als einfaches Animationsformat für das Web eingeführt, oft in Form von Werbebannern, hat aber jetzt ein eigenes Animationsgenre gebildet, das stark mit der Meme-Kultur verbunden ist. Das formale Format des Kurses ist eine Fusion aus einem interdisziplinären Seminar, einem Integriertes Design Gestalterisches Projekt und einem Theoriekurs. Alle drei Teile stehen allen Studierenden der HfK offen. Die Teilnehmer*innen können wählen, ob sie alle drei Seminare zusammen oder einzelne Seminare separat machen möchten. Für MA-Studierende wird dringend empfohlen, alle drei Teile des Kurses zu belegen. Während des Semesters wird ein Forum oder eine Plattform für die Präsentation von animierten Gifs eingerichtet. Diejenigen, die bereits an Trickfilmseminaren teilgenommen haben, wissen, dass es zu Beginn immer die analogen Bewegungs-und Metamorphoseübungen gibt. Eine Einführung in die grundlegenden analogen Trickfilmtechniken ermöglicht ein selbstständiges Arbeiten, die im Kurs entstehenden Animationen und Beispiele aus unterschiedlichen Zeiten werden angeschaut und besprochen. Es ist geplant, dass in Zweierteams gearbeitet wird. Voraussetzungen für diesen Kurs sind ein digitales Gerät, die kostenlose App, für Smartphone oder Tablet „Stop Motion Studio“ und ein Internetzugang. Auch wenn wieder im Trickstudio an der HfK gearbeitet werden kann, ist es sinnvoll, sich einen eigenen Trickarbeitsplatz einzurichten. Die Kursstunden werden, wenn möglich vor Ort (1.11.070) und wenn nicht möglich auf Teams stattfinden. Alle Trickfilmtechniken sind möglich. Wie immer ist eine regelmäßige Teilnahme verbindlich. Der Aufbau des Kurses ist wie folgt: Vorbereitung (20%) 1. Einführung 2. Forschung Praktische Arbeit (60%) 3. Inspiration 4. Storyboard/Animatic 5. Filmen/Zeichnen 6. Bearbeiten Präsentation (20%) 7. Einrichtung einer Plattform oder eines Kanals für die Präsentation
