Offered during Session 3, our Digital Animation & Motion Graphics course aims to provide students with the conceptual and practical tools for understanding and creating the diverse range of time-based media that have come to be known as motion graphics and digital animation. Throughout the course, students will create visual effects and animated graphics for television, film, web, and other types of multimedia productions using Cinema 4D, and Adobe After Effects in conjunction with Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: After careful consideration and comprehensive discussions with many who are deeply invested in the health and education of our students, we have decided that the most responsible course of action is to cancel all Pre-College Summer 2020 sessions. Unfortunately, the Program's focus on providing a residential experience with hands-on courses does not make online learning a realistic or feasible option. For more information please visit this webpage. For any questions or concerns please email pcs@uconn.edu.
